    Abstract: A system and method for achieving auto-adaptive clustering in a sensor network has been explained. The system performs a hierarchical clustering in sensor networks to maximize the lifetime of the network. The system includes a set of sensor nodes and a sink node. The clusters in sensor networks are formed automatically from a large number of deployed nodes where the cluster characteristics are driven by the measurement requirements defined by the end-user. The system also employs a clustering algorithm to achieve adaptive clustering. The processor further includes a first level clustering module for grouping the set of sensor nodes into data level clusters based on the measurements. The processor further includes a second level clustering module for grouping the set of sensor nodes in the data level clusters into the location level clusters based on location. In another embodiment, that clustering can go on to more than two levels.

    Abstract: Traceability of agricultural activities is very critical to market compliance. Mere automation of traditionally monitored agricultural activities alone may not address the challenge of providing a simple yet flexible and predictable method of effective and real time monitoring of agricultural activities around the farm that may be used to compute crop protocol for any crop under consideration. The systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate automatic identification of crop protocol irrespective of the type of the crop and agricultural activities associated thereof. Real time monitoring of the agricultural activities also enable farm personnel to conclude on effects of dynamic changes in crop protocol thereby allowing continuous building up of the repository of agro-climatic zone based information associated with the farm. Regulating crop protocol results in a predictable increase in efficiency and sustainability of crop yield that helps farm personnel to optimize productivity.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to estimating age of a leaf using morphological features extracted from segmented leaves. Traditionally, leaf age estimation requires a single leaf to be plucked from the plant and its image to be captured in a controlled environment. The method and system of the present disclosure obviates these needs and enables obtaining one or more full leaves from images captured in an uncontrolled environment. The method comprises segmenting the image to identify veins of the leaves that further enable obtaining the full leaves. The obtained leaves further enable identifying an associated plant species. The method also discloses some morphological features which are fed to a pre-trained multivariable linear regression model to estimate age of every leaf. The estimated leaf age finds application in estimation of multiple plant characteristics like photosynthetic rate, transpiration, nitrogen content and health of the plants.
