Android Application For Soil Analysis Using OCR Technique
- Abstract
Abstract— Soil test normally refers to the investigating of a soil sample to find out nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level. A soil test can determine fertility or the expected growth potential of the soil which indicates nutrient deficiencies, potential toxicities from excessive fertility and inhibitions from the presence of non-essential trace minerals. During the soil analysis farmers have to travel a long distance to test their soil as well as to collect the reports from the testing labs, so using Android Applications can solve this problem. Soil is by using various soil testing instruments and later their readings are encoded into the digital meter. Android application is used to acquire the readings from the meter mechanically by simply getting the image and then performing the OCR technique on the captured the image in an android application which is nothing but optical character recognition. The output of OCR is used to generate the reports which consist of the soil analysis. Using this Android Application Lab Technician does not have to write reading manually as well as they can send the reading to the farmer via Email or any third party messenger application.
