For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] As Figure 1 shown in one kind of smart agricultural application monitoring system based on Internet of Things, including: ZigBee coordinator 22 and with ZigBee coordinator 22 Connection meteorological data acquisition terminal 3, soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4, insect data acquisition terminal 5.

[0020] Meteorological data acquisition terminal 3 is mainly responsible for providing atmospheric temperature, humidity, illuminance, barometric information; Soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4 collects soil moisture, soil temperature, soil conductivity, soil PH value and other information; Insect data acquisition terminal 5 collects the picture data captured under the insect lamp. Meteorological data and soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4 adopt ZigBee ad hoc network technology to network, and then gathered by data gateway to client. Insect data acquisition terminal 5 collects data as picture data, and the data volume is large, and the wireless terminal is used alone to gather data gateway.

[0021] Zigbee is a short-range, low-power wireless communication protocol, which is suitable for scenarios that need to transmit data within a relatively short distance. Meteorological data and soil moisture data usually need to be collected and transmitted in real time, and usually do not need long transmission distance, so it is suitable to use Zigbee connection. LoRa is a long-range, low-power wireless communication technology, which is suitable for scenarios that need to transmit data over long distances. Insect data usually needs to be collected in a large area, and the collection terminal may be distributed in a remote place, so using LoRa connection can realize long-distance transmission of data.

[0022] Meteorological data acquisition terminal 3 and soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4 use CC2530 supporting ZigBee as MCU to complete data collection and complete ZigBee network building work; Image data acquisition needs higher computing performance, so STM32 is adopted, and then transmitted to data gateway through Lora. After receiving the data, NearLink transmits to user client 6 to complete data presentation.

[0023] Among them, the sensor data is directly used to guide agricultural production; Image data needs to be uploaded to the identification platform 7, and after completing the insect identification through AI, the data is fed back to the user. Using existing platform to identify insect, can save resources, save the cost and time of local model training, improve the correct rate of insect identification, and guide the actual production.

[0024] Meteorological data acquisition terminal 3, soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4 and data acquisition device 1 are connected. As Figure 2As shown, the data acquisition device 1 includes a controller 10 and a battery 11 connected with the controller 10, an atmospheric acquisition device, a soil acquisition device, a communication module 18. The battery 11 is connected with a solar panel 13 through a charging controller 12, the solar panel 13 converts solar energy into direct current through photoelectric effect, then charges the battery 11 through the charging controller 12, and the battery 11 supplies power for the controller 10 to meet the outdoor acquisition requirement. The atmospheric acquisition device includes an atmospheric temperature sensor 14, an atmospheric humidity sensor 15, an illumination sensor 16 and a barometer 17, and the soil acquisition device includes a soil moisture sensor 19, a soil temperature sensor 20, a soil PH value sensor 21 and a soil conductivity sensor 22. The communication module 18 is a DTU module, and the DTU module is connected with the weather data acquisition terminal 3 and the soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4 through a mobile network.

[0025] After the weather data acquisition terminal 3 and the soil moisture data acquisition terminal 4 acquire the basic data collected by the data acquisition device 1, the data are sent to the ZigBee coordinator 2 through a ZigBee self-organizing network. After various data are gathered to the data gateway, the data are processed by the specifically designed host computer. The weather data and the soil moisture data are presented on the host computer, the insect data are uploaded to the identification platform 7 through the host computer to complete the identification of the insect data, and the ZigBee coordinator 2 is sent to the user client 6 through wireless communication technology.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relationships such as first and second, and the like, are merely used to distinguish one entity or action from another, and do not require or imply that these entities or actions are in any way mutually exclusive or mutually correlated. Moreover, the terms including, including, or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article or device.
