 PART – B : PROJECT DETAILS

1. Details of the proposed project to be undertaken:(Attach additional Pages if required)

In the current scenario human animal conflict have turned agriculture industry into dilemma
as it can cause significant loss of quality and quantity of agricultural products. India is one of
the countries that suffer from the most serious crop damage due to animal intrusion in
farmland. Human animal conflict is a major problem where enormous amount of resources is
lost and human life is in danger. In recent times the numbers of these kinds of conflicts are
increasing. So this zone is to be monitored continuously to prevent entry of this kind of
animals or any other unwanted intrusion. Human-animal conflicts arises due to encroachment
and poaching, humans move into the forest to satisfy their livelihood, for claiming of land for
agricultural practices and rapid industrialization causes spreading of urban ground and
animals enter the nearby villages for water during the summer due to dryness in water body.
Elephants or wild boar tramp the vegetation in farm land in need of nutritious food. Need of
the animal or human put the other in real danger, in this process, resources are spoiled and
sometimes even the life is lost.

Origin and Objective of the Research Proposal

Origin:
Due to over population it occurs a deforestation this results in shortage of food, water
and shelter in forest areas. So, Animals interference in farm areas is increasing day by
day which affects human life and property causes human animal conflict . Agriculture is
the backbone of the economy but because of animal interference in agricultural lands,
there will be huge loss of crops. Elephants and other animals coming in to contact with
humans, impact negatively in various means such as by depredation of crops, damaging
grain stores, water supplies, houses and other assets, injuring and death of humans.
Farmers in India face serious threats from pests, natural calamities &damage by animals
resulting in lower yields Traditional methods followed by farmers are not that effective
and it is not feasible to hire guards to keep an eye on crops and prevent wild animals.
Since safety of both human and animal is equally vital. So, animal detection system is
necessary in farm areas.
Need:
An important need of an hour is to detect and classify the animals entering into the farm and
sending notifications to the farm owner and forest officials so that necessay actions can be taken
pesticides.

Objective:
The objective of our project is to provide protection from the attacks of the wild animals
and thus minimizing the probable loss to the farmer. To detect intrusion around the field.
To capture the image of the intruder and classifying them using image processing.
Taking suitable action based on the type of the intruder. To send notification to farm
owner and forest officials .

Rationale for taking up the proposed project and its interdisciplinary relevance:

5
Human Wildlife Conflicts have caused a stream of major changes in the agricultural
patterns and practices nationwide. To protect their crops from getting damaged because of
animal intrusions, farmers have been using electric fences around their fields and areas
where the fencing don’t prove efficient, farmers prefer to stay up all night and guard their
fields from animal intrusions. Practices like these have done more harm than good for us
and in extreme cases, it has even costed lives of both man and animals.
Considering the inefficiencies and shortcoming of these existing practices, an enthusiastic
team decided to come up with a solution that protected the crops from animal intrusions
without causing any harm to the wildlife.

Interdisciplinary Relevance:
This work can be applied to agriculture sector which is a need of an hour in our country
and has very high prominence to agriculture based industries. The system will make use
of sensors and software technologies for improving results prominently.

6
Review of Research and Development in the field:
The main aim of our project is to provide protection from the attacks of the wild animals
and thus minimizing the probable loss to the farmer. To detect intrusion around the field.
To capture the image of the intruder and classifying them using image processing.

Nirit Datta and Souvik Sarkar [1] explains the methodology to overcome the problem of
human and animal injury and mortality due to the straying of wild animals out of the
national parks and wildlife sanctuaries by the use of automatic tracking and alert system.
Automatic tracking and alert system has been implemented by incorporating GSM and
GPS technology in the form of a device that would be attached to the body of an animal
and would be continuously monitoring the position of the animal with respect to the GPS
defined boundaries set up inside a wildlife sanctuary or national park. In case an animal
strays out of the GPS defined zone, an alarm system that will be installed in a human
populated zone will go off, informing people about the approaching danger. This system is
flexible, cost effective and easy to implement and can be beneficial for monitoring wildlife
related complexities like poaching, railway and roadway accidents, train delays,
destruction of vegetation and threat to human life on the occasion of straying of wild
animals out of their habitation zone.

Sachin umesh sharma and dharmesh j. Shah [2] explains a simple and a low-cost approach
for automatic animal detection on highways for preventing animal-vehicle collision using
computer vision techniques are proposed. A method for finding the distance of the animal
in real- world units from the camera mounted vehicle is also proposed. The proposed
system is trained on more than 2200 images consisting of positive and negatives images
and tested on various video clips of animals on highways with varying vehicle speed. As
per the two-second rule, our proposed method can alert the driver when the vehicle

speed is up to 35 km/h. beyond this speed, though the animal gets detected correctly; the
driver does not get enough time to prevent a collision. An overall accuracy of almost
82.5% is achieved regarding detection using our proposed method.

R.Shanmugasundaram and S.Pavithra [3] proposed a system to track the location of

Animal in the zoo or national parks. This system would include a temperature sensor and
PIR sensor. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of each animal and PIR sensor
senses the human presence inside the animal boundaries or restricted areas. Generally
every animal having particular range of body temperature. If the animal having any
wounds or fever the body temperature will be automatically increased. To monitor this, we
are using temperature sensor. It continuously monitors the animal’s temperature if any
variation in the temperature, it will be displayed on the LCD. The PIR sensor is used to
monitor the human presence in restricted areas or nearby the animal boundaries. When the
human presence is detected, the voice processor will give alert to the people through the
pre-recorded voice. The GPS receiver send the location, animal temperature to the
controller and it is interfaced with the IOT, It will give the complete information to the
website on PC or laptop.

Relevance to social benefit by this R&D in the proposed area

It will provide a prototype for other researchers to explore the related area further.

 Future plans:

In the future, there will be very large scope, this project can be made based on wireless
networks. Wireless sensor network and sensors of different types are used to collect
the information of crop conditions and environmental changes and these information is
transmitted through network to the farmer that initiates corrective actions. Farmers are
connected and aware of the conditions of the agricultural field at anytime and
anywhere in the world.
