Design and Application of a Drone-Based AI Inspection System for Longan Pests and Diseases
Abstract
Aiming at the problem that longan trees in Guangdong Province have long been affected by pests and diseases, and to address issues such as low efficiency, high cost, and limited coverage in longan pest and disease inspection, this paper designs a drone-based AI inspection system for longan pests and diseases. The system uses drones as a platform to collect images of longan orchards, which are transmitted in real time via 4G/5G networks. Meanwhile, it integrates an AI algorithm model for AI early warning and prescription suggestions. In practical applications, the system can quickly locate the areas where pests and diseases occur, identify longan pests and diseases, and provide fruit farmers with a basis for timely prevention and control. It significantly enhances the timeliness and accuracy of longan pest and disease control, and offers strong technical support for the precise management of the longan industry.
