A ZigBee-Based Acquisition System for Agricultural Environment Information with Low Power and High Reliability

In order to guarantee the safety of products at modern agriculture, the whole factors of the environment of agricultural production process need to be monitored. That needs to collect a variety of environmental information. In this paper, based on ZigBee technology, a system for crop growth environment information and image information acquisition is implemented. System network scheme can reduce the interchannel interference and enhance ZigBee communication quality. In the process of transmission, the transmission of the image data uses a coding scheme based on historical data comparison. For the image transmission, an intelligent transmission scheme based on generating Feedback Report is proposed, which takes both the quality and efficiency into consideration. Based on these schemes, the system designed in this paper can realize efficient and reliable transmission of agricultural environmental information.
