RaspberryPI for mosquito neutralization by power laser
This work addresses pest control in agricultural fields, offering a potential solution for harmful insects, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing machine vision and laser technologies.
The researchers tackled the problem of neutralizing mosquitoes using a Raspberry Pi-controlled laser system with machine vision, achieving real-time tracking and classification of mosquitoes through deep neural networks and Haar cascades.
In this article for the first time, comprehensive studies of mosquito neutralization using machine vision and a 1 W power laser are considered. Developed laser installation with Raspberry Pi that changing the direction of the laser with a galvanometer. We developed a program for mosquito tracking in real. The possibility of using deep neural networks, Haar cascades, machine learning for mosquito recognition was considered. We considered in detail the classification problems of mosquitoes in images. A recommendation is given for the implementation of this device based on a microcontroller for subsequent use as part of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Any harmful insects in the fields can be used as objects for control.
