AgroPlus Weed Detection System

Overview

Objective: To conceptualize a precision agriculture system for identifying and managing weeds in paddy fields, focusing on interface design and system lifecycle planning.

Scope: The project was theoretical, emphasizing system design, documentation, and user interface prototyping rather than building a working system.

Methodology

Software Development Life Cycle (Waterfall Approach)

1. Requirement Gathering

   • Conducted stakeholder interviews and surveys to identify system needs and challenges.

   • Focused on designing features like weed detection mapping, user-friendly reporting, and data integration.

2. System Design

   • Created use case diagrams, context diagrams, Level 0 and Level 1 data flow diagrams, and conceptual architecture using Lucidchart.

   • Developed functional decomposition for each module, ensuring clarity and modularity.

3. Interface Prototyping

   • Designed user registration, dashboards, report generation, and tutorial interfaces using Figma, focusing on usability and ease of navigation.

4. Phased Implementation Strategy

   • Outlined a step-by-step deployment plan from data collection to full system functionality.

5. Documentation

   • Prepared detailed system requirement specifications, decision tables, event-response tables, and structured English for process clarity.

Key Deliverables

Figma Mockups:

• Landing Page: A simple gateway for user login and registration.

• User Registration: Multi-step registration with email verification.

• Dashboard: Centralized interface for accessing reports and tutorials.

• Reports Page: Conceptualized data visualizations for weed detection insights.

• Feedback & Tutorial Pages: Designed for user support and engagement.

Focus Areas

1. Usability: Designed for farmers with varying technical expertise, prioritizing clear navigation and user-friendly processes.

2. Sustainability: Conceptualized features to reduce herbicide usage and promote environmentally friendly practices.

3. Stakeholder-Centric Design: Integrated insights from farmers, researchers, and environmental experts to address real-world needs.

Outcome

1. Delivered a well-documented, user-focused conceptual system with high-quality prototypes and diagrams.

2. Demonstrated a structured approach to system development and highlighted its potential impact on sustainable agriculture.
