Smart Fish Aquaculture Monitoring System with Water Color Identification Using Mobile Camera

Internet of Things (IoT) is a very fast growing technology and the field of IoT is extending its wings in every one of the areas today. With the progression in computers like Raspberry pi, the innovation is achieving the ground level with its application in farming and aquaculture. In this work, we have outlined and actualized monitoring of pH quality of aquaculture utilizing Raspberry Pi, various Sensors, Smartphone Camera and Android application. Water quality parameters used in this work are pH, Turbidity and Temperature. Water Level of fish tank is measured continuously. Sensor acquisition is conducted by Raspberry Pi which is used as data processing device as well as server. Photo acquisition is also performed by Raspberry Pi with the help of the smartphone camera to detect the color of the water and sent to mail. All these water quality parameters will be uploaded to Thingspeak server. Android phone is used as the terminal device. Some analysis is performed with the four parameters value to determine the overall approximate condition of the water and required action. Every feature in this checking gadget can work legitimately and easily.
