| description | The use of technology in agriculture has been gaining significant attention recently. By employing advanced tools and automation and leveraging the latest advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), the agricultural sector is witnessing improvements in its crop yields and overall efficiency. This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a machine learning (ML) model for agricultural applications involving acoustic sensing. This model is integrated into an efficient Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) platform tailored for agriculture. The model is then used in the design of a communication network architecture and for determining the distribution of the computing load between edge devices and the cloud. The study focuses on the design, analysis, and optimization of AI deployment for reliable classification models in agricultural applications. Both the architectural level and hardware implementation are taken into consideration when designing the radio module and computing unit. Additionally, the study encompasses the design and performance analysis of the hardware used to implement the sensor node specifically developed for sound classification in agricultural applications. The novelty of this work lies in the optimization of the integrated sensor node, which combines the proposed ML model and wireless network, resulting in an agricultural-specific AIoT platform. This co-design enables significant improvements in the performance and efficiency for acoustic and ambient sensing applications. |
