Design and Development of Sapling Monitoring System

چکیده
The measurement of a plant growth without interrupting its natural growth is essential since its diameter and height are related to the development of a tree as well as the water contents. Therefore main objective of this project is to find the diameter and height of a plant. Hence in this proposed work, an interface between a C3008 smart camera and a computer has been developed. Main advantage of this camera module is that it has digital output and digital video port that supplies a continuous 8-16 bit range of data stream. It is used to capture the image of a plant at different intervals of time. A MATLAB GUI has been developed for performing Sobel Edge Detection on a plant image to determine its height, maximum and minimum width. Such programs enable us to automatically measure and record the various parameters of a plant. The results attained prove that the system is capable of measuring the changes (diameter and height changes) of plant’s growth accurately.

متن کاملDevelopment of a mathematical model to design an offshore wind and wave hybrid energy system
Fossil Fuels are always considered as environmental pollutants. On the other hand, the political and economic situations highly affect the price of these fuels. Offshore wind and wave, as renewable energy sources, represent the better alternatives for electricity generation. Therefore, it is necessary that wind speeds effectively be estimated due to the absence of field measurements of the wind...
