An AI-powered system that predicts pest spread in agricultural areas using satellite imagery, weather data, and machine learning to provide 24-72 hour forecasts for targeted preventive action.
This project combines:
- Satellite Data: Sentinel-2 imagery for NDVI calculation
- Weather Data: Open-Meteo API for environmental conditions
- Deep Learning: ResNet CNN for pest detection + ConvLSTM for temporal forecasting
- Web Dashboard: React + Leaflet for interactive visualization
