Abstract 

The project addressed the pervasive issue of harmful insect infestations on farms, a problem that significantly impacts farmers globally by reducing crop yields and necessitating the use of chemical pesticides. Farmers, striving to protect their livelihoods and ensure food security, often face challenges in managing these pests effectively and sustainably. In response, an innovative solution was developed: a prototype system utilizing lasers and computer vision technology. This system identifies and targets harmful insects with precision, reducing their numbers without the need for chemical interventions. By integrating advanced imaging techniques to detect pests and deploying lasers to eliminate them, the project offered a novel approach to pest control. The impact of this initiative is profound, offering a sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional pest management practices. It not only promises to enhance crop protection and productivity for farmers but also contributes to the broader goal of reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture by minimizing the reliance on chemical pesticides.
