Main Objective: 

The Main Objective of the research topic is even a person with primary knowledge
or without any knowledge about home gardening can use this mobile application to make home 
gardening in effective way to reap the harvest.

Research Problem: 

Due to the current economic and fuel crisis, most of the people living in Sri Lanka are now turning to home gardening. 
But the main problem here is that people who are used to a modern lifestyle do not have proper knowledge about gardening. 
There is no path to take decisions and advice about problems that arise when they start home gardening in their own living places. 
Due to these facts, people cannot reap a bountiful harvest from the garden. 

If we consider these points in more detail, the problem is that many people who turn to home gardening today, have a rudimentary knowledge 
of home gardening and lack the proper understanding of home gardening and climate changes and crop growing quarters. Therefore, People who 
cultivate various crops have not been able to harvest as much as they expected.

Another problem faced by people is that people are not able to analyze the disease affecting a particular crop. Once the disease affects 
the crop, the growth of some stems of the crop is reduced, but the disease can still attack the crop. So those whole crops or parts are 
destroyed and much of their produce is reduced before harvest. Therefore, people don’t have little understanding of what remedies are needed to 
prevent the spread of the disease.

And also, another problem that arises in day-to-day home gardening activities, people face various problems in crop cultivation mainly due to 
their rudimentary knowledge about gardening and unable to identify the disease affecting a certain crop, people face various problems in crop 
cultivation and also people use different types of fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides while growing crops. They don’t know how to use 
them properly for the crops. Also, due to the fuel crisis in the country, people have not been able to go to the agricultural service centers 
to get necessary advice related to home gardening and above mention problems.

The other major problem affecting home gardening is considered to be the destruction of crops by animals, so the severity problem is attacks 
of wild animals. For example, elephants, peacocks, monkeys, greater coucal, and so on.  They cause crop damage. Due to that reason, people will not be 
able to expect a harvest from gardening. Due to the lack of a proper remedy for it, the people who are currently engaged in home gardening activities 
are hindered from cultivating successfully.

 Individual research question: 
 
 1. How do people cultivate crops harvested as they accepted, according to crop analysis and prediction?
 2. How do people recognize the affected crop diseases and get relevant solutions using computer vision?
 3. How people find the right solutions to their queries through different languages via chat messaging and voice messaging?
 4. How to identify and repel harmful animals that come to the plantation?

Individual Objectives:

1. Crop analysis and predictions.

People may have a lack of proper understanding of home gardening and climate changes and crop growing quarters. 
Therefore, People who cultivate various crops have not been able to harvest as much as they expected.
Due to that problem the user will be creating their own account while adding the location where the person lives 
and the relevant quarter of their own. The location of the user will be stored in the system. After that, according 
to the user's above information of predicting the type of crop suitable for cultivation at that time and giving instructions related to cultivation.

2. Crop diseases recognition based on Computer vision.

Select the leaf affected by disease and then collect the leaf from the plant and take a photo of the leaf and upload the leaf image to the system.
Preprocessing the input image to improve image quality and remove unwanted distortions from the image. Through the approach of plant disease identification 
using image processing and machine learning is illustrated in Image preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification.
And also, we can include several classification algorithms like NB, KNN, DT, SVM, and RF to identify the diagnosis of disease and give solutions and recommendations.

3. Multipurpose Chat Application.

In the study of the research papers on this Chat Applications, it was the latest digital interface developments, for the growth of the web and smartphone apps.
It is well documented for these applications to use automatic conversational agents that operate on software creation or a kind of artificial intelligence (AI) 
relationship between users and automated systems. This AI-based multi-purpose chat application helps users to find the right answers to their queries to make the
right decisions. This multi-purpose chat application is made by providing feedback in two different languages and voice activation.
And also users can multilingual both text and voice programmable in this chat application. This system will enable the users to ask any number of inquiries, 
which will help to spread the latest Home Gardening technology faster and to a higher number of users.

4. Animal detective camera security system. 

Gardening is constantly monitored by a security camera system. This will constantly monitor the inner as well as the outer boundary of the gardening.
Due to this process, if an animal that damages the plantation reaches the outer limit of the plantation or enters the plantation, 
this security camera system will identify the animal that has entered the plantation and inform the user of the location of the animal.
Because of this, the gardener does not need to keep an eye on his crops constantly to protect them from harmful animals.
Here, by installing speakers at selected locations around the gardening, the security camera system can identify the relevant animal and 
emit sounds necessary to drive away the relevant animal.
(Ex: making a blast sound to drive away animals like peacocks, monkeys, and pigs and making the sound of bees to drive away wild elephants)
This measure will be able to reduce the damage caused to crops, especially by animals like elephants, peacocks, monkeys, cows
