    (IEEE, 2022-12-09) Sumeera, S; Pesala, N; Thilani, M; Gamage, A; Bandara, P
    The fisheries industry is vital to the Sri Lankan economy because it provides a living for more than 2.5 million coastal communities and meets more than half of the country’s animal protein needs. Today, the fishery community in Sri Lanka is facing several grant problems. Among them, not getting a decent fish price for their harvesting, the inability to identify diseases in shrimp cages in the early stages, and the inability to identify fish species by observing their external appearance. This research developed a prototype mobile application “Malu Malu” to avoid the above-mentioned problems. It facilitates to the prediction of market fish prices, identifying shrimp diseases in their early stages, and identifying fish species by observing their external appearance. The proposed predictive models of the “Malu Malu” contains three main models developed using inseption V3 Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for image classification and Linear Regression is used for creating a model for predictions. The experimental results of these models showed above 85% of accuracy.

    tAssessee: Automatically Assessing Quality of Tea Leaves using Image Processing Techniques
    (IEEE, 2022-11-30) Sivalingam, J; Sivachandrabose, L.N; Loganathan, M; Sivakumaran, J; Panchendrarajan, R
    Sri Lanka is one of the well-known international’s pinnacle tea exporters with a high global demand attracting millions of foreign exchanges, which strengthens the economy of the country. Despite the fact that tea brings a good source of foreign exchange, the tea industry lacks efficiency and effectiveness during the assessment of plucked tea leaves which compromises the significant quality of tea. While studies have revealed various factors affecting the tea quality, key factors are identified as the presence of tea diseases, pest attacks, the mixture of fresh and mature tea leaves, and the mixture of tea grades present in the tea sack. In this paper, we focus on automatically assessing the quality of tea leaves for a single tea leaf and bulk tea leaves before initiating the tea manufacturing process. The proposed tAssessee system allows the user to upload the image of a single tea leaf or bulk tea leaves to automatically assess four different quality factors of tea leaves such as disease, pest attack, freshness, and grade using Convolutional Neural Network based models and using various image processing techniques. This will assist the tea supervisors in the tea factories to automatically assess the quality of tea leaves where the manufacturing process can be segregated according to the quality of tea leaves and determine the pricing accordingly. Extensive experiments performed using the tea leaves images gathered in tea factories reveal, that the proposed tAssessee system can assess the quality of single tea leaf and bulk tea leaves with the accuracy range of 87% - 98% and 91% - 100% respectively.

    Every person has their way of relaxing and having fun. The most well-liked approach to do it is to own a pet. When most individuals work from home and anxiety levels are high, people have certain restrictions on going outdoors and engaging in activities due to the existing COVID scenario. Consequently, we developed a product called AquaScanner. The problems that come with the aquarium environment can all be handled by our product. Our product primarily consists of an application that can regulate and monitor aquarium tanks by regulating feeding routines, fish disease detection, and water quality monitoring. The AquaScanner focuses on recognizing two significant illnesses, Fin Rot and Fungi bacteria, under the heading of disease identification. Additionally, the product will recommend treatments for the illness and provide two distinct methods for feeding the fish manually and automatically through the application. The AquaScanner can regulate feeding operations. Also, AquaScanner can independently monitor all key water parameters as part of the water quality measurement system. A user-friendly interface connects these three key elements. Owners of aquariums may manage and keep an eye on their beloved aquariums from anywhere in the world.

    System to Improve the Quality of Water Resources in Sri Lanka Using Machine Learning and Image Processing
    (IEEE, 2022-12-09) Liyanage, M. H. S; Gajanayake, G.M.B. S; Wijewickrama, O; Fernando A, S.D.S. A; Wijendra, D; Gamage, A. I
    Water covers approximately 71% of the earth’s surface, but only 1.2% of it can be used for drinking. However, due to the amount of waste water released into water resources, the presence of harmful microorganisms, and natural occurrences such as eutrophication, even that water cannot be used directly for drinking purposes without purification. One method of purifying water is chlorination. However, if the chlorine level exceeds the standard, it can cause both long-term and short-term illnesses. As a result, a system is imposed to solve four problems: predicting the pH value of chlorinated drinking water, determining the quantification value of active sludge in a wastewater plant, detecting microorganisms in drinking water, and predicting the percentage of eutrophication in a water resource.

    Coconut production is the most important and one of the main sources of income in the Sri Lankan economy. The recent time it has been observed that most of the coconut trees are affected by the diseases which gradually reduces the strength and production of coconut. Most of the tree leaves are affected by pest diseases and nutrient deficiency. Our main intensive is to enhance the livelihood of coconut leaves and identify the diseases at the early stage so that farmers get more benefits from coconut production. This paper proposes the detection of pest attack and nutrient deficiency in the coconut leaves and analysis of the diseases. Coconut leaves monitorization has been taken place after the use of pesticides and fertilizer with the help of the finest machine learning and image processing techniques. Rather than human experts, automatic recognition will be beneficial and the fastest approach to identify the diseases in the coconut leaves very efficiently. Thus, in this project, we developed an android mobile application to identify the pests by their food behaviors, pest diseases and the nutrition deficiencies in the coconut trees. As an initial step, all datasets for image processing technology met pre-processing steps such as converting RGB to greyscale, filtering, resizing, horizontal flip and vertical flip. After completing the above steps, the classification was performed by analyzing several algorithms in the literature review. SVM and CNN were chosen as the best and appropriate classifier with 93.54% and 93.72% of accuracy respectively. The outcome of this project will help the farmers to increase the coconut production and undoubtedly will make a revolution in the agriculture sector.
