KR-20260066039-A - SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSING AND PRESCRIBING IMPEDIMENT OF CROPS, METHOD OF THEREOF

Abstract

The present invention discloses a system for diagnosing and prescribing crop damage and a method thereof. The system of the present invention includes a user terminal that uploads crop images captured through a capturing unit and basic information regarding the crop and requests a diagnosis of crop damage; a disease and pest database in which information on diseases and pests specific to each crop is stored; a physiological disorder database in which information on physiological disorders specific to each crop is stored; and a crop diagnosis server that distinguishes and extracts normal parts and abnormal parts different from normal parts from the crop image uploaded along with the diagnosis request from the user terminal, diagnoses crop damage to the crop by comparing and analyzing the abnormal parts based on the disease and pest images and physiological disorder images stored in the disease and pest database and the physiological disorder database, and performs a re-diagnosis process by requesting and collecting additional information necessary for re-diagnosis from the user terminal when accurate diagnosis of the damage is confused and it is necessary to distinguish between other damages having similar symptoms.

Claims (2)

1. A user terminal that requests a diagnosis of crop damage by uploading crop images captured through a camera unit and basic information about the crop while accessing a service provider website or running an application installed on the terminal; A pest and disease database storing information on diseases and pests by crop; Physiological disorder database storing physiological disorder information by crop; A crop diagnosis server that distinguishes and extracts normal parts and abnormal parts different from normal parts from a crop image uploaded along with a diagnosis request from the user terminal, diagnoses crop damage to the crop by comparing and analyzing the abnormal parts based on pest images and physiological disorder images stored in the pest database and the physiological disorder database, and transmits the diagnosis result to the user terminal; The above crop diagnosis server is, A crop disorder diagnosis and prescription system characterized by requesting additional information necessary for re-diagnosis from the user terminal and collecting additional information from the user terminal to perform a re-diagnosis process when, through the above-mentioned image comparison analysis, there are findings of similar symptoms suspected to be crop diseases, pests, or physiological disorders, but accurate diagnosis of the disorder is confused and it is necessary to distinguish it from other diseases, pests, or physiological disorders having similar symptoms.
2. A step in which a user terminal, while connected to a service provider website or running an application installed on the terminal, photographs a crop through a camera unit and uploads the captured crop image and basic information regarding the crop to request a diagnosis of crop damage; A crop diagnosis server distinguishes and extracts normal parts and abnormal parts different from normal parts from a crop image uploaded from the user terminal; The above crop diagnosis server performs a step of diagnosing a disorder in the crop by comparing and analyzing the abnormal area based on crop-specific pest images and physiological disorder images stored in the pest database and physiological disorder database; The above crop diagnosis server includes the step of transmitting the diagnosis result to the user terminal; and In the step of diagnosing damage to the above crop, A method for diagnosing and prescribing crop damage, characterized by requesting additional information necessary for re-diagnosis from the user terminal and collecting additional information from the user terminal to perform a re-diagnosis process when, through the above-mentioned image comparison analysis, there are findings of similar symptoms suspected to be crop pests or physiological disorders, but accurate diagnosis of the damage is confused and it is necessary to distinguish it from other pests or physiological disorders having similar symptoms.

Description

System for Diagnosing and Prescribing Crop Disorders, Method of Thereof The present invention relates to a system and method for diagnosing crop disorders, and more specifically, to a crop disorder diagnosis and prescription system and method thereof that diagnoses crop disorders such as pests and diseases and physiological disorders of crops and prescribes a solution for each disorder. Crop disorders refer to adverse effects on crop growth, fruiting, and harvest, and collectively include diseases, pest infestations, and physiological disorders. Recently, abnormal climate conditions have led to a worsening occurrence of sudden crop damages, resulting in a sharp decline in production and a surge in losses for farms. In particular, since the spread of crop damage is highly variable depending on the type of crop and growth environment, prediction, rapid diagnosis, and countermeasures are required. For example, in crops grown in relatively confined, isolated spaces such as greenhouses or smart farms, pests and diseases can spread to the entire crop within a few hours. Typically, crop growers acquire knowledge about crop damage through various channels such as experience, manuals, and the internet, or prepare with the help of experts; however, this does not make it easy to accurately diagnose and prevent crop damage. Due to these problems, the applicant has filed and received patent application No. 10-2020-0001817 (Title of Invention: System and Method for Diagnosing and Treating Crop Pests and Diseases) for a system and method that presents the types of pests and diseases affecting crops and a solution by photographing crops using a camera of a user terminal and analyzing the captured crop images. However, the previously registered prior patent only considers crop diseases and pests, making it difficult to accurately diagnose crop damages other than diseases and pests. Furthermore, there is a problem in that accurate diagnosis is not achieved because the symptoms of some diseases and pests are similar to those of other diseases or physiological disorders, making it difficult to distinguish them even when they should be diagnosed as such. In addition, the previously registered prior patent has the disadvantage that accurate diagnosis is difficult if photos of specific body parts required for diagnosis are not provided, and since it takes a long time until the data is advanced, it inevitably takes a considerable amount of time to provide a useful service. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram illustrating a crop disorder diagnosis and prescription system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a user terminal of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of a diagnostic server of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is an overall flowchart illustrating a method for diagnosing and prescribing crop damage in a system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
