A Survey: Silkworm Egg Counting and Monitoring Based on Image Processing and Internet of Things (IoT)

Sericulture or Silk Farming is the cultivation of Silkworms to produce silk. India is the second largest producer of silk in the world after China. Directly or indirectly sericulture provides employability to more than 10 lakh people in India. Karnataka state contributes more production of silk in India. Silkworm seed production is important in increasing the quantity of silk production. Grainage are used for the production of large quantity of the Silkworm eggs. Counting of silkworm eggs is necessary to avoid loss to silkworm egg producers and farmers . Present methods of counting of Silkworm eggs such as manual counting is waste of time and it requires lot of man power , other method such as calculator causes harm to the eggs because of its needle. Silkworm production is adversely effected by the humidity and temperature of the environment. Silkworm undergoes various changes in its lifecycle so it requires some automation to continuously monitor the growth of silkworm to increase the quality and quantity of the silkworm. Hence automatic methods such as digital image processing techniques are used to count the number of eggs to avoid loss to the sericulturists and farmers. This paper presents the various image processing and IOT techniques used to monitor and obtain the silkworm egg count.
