A team of CSE senior students have participated in the 11th Agricultural Technologies Conference and Exhibition. The team includes Amro Moursi , Mohamed Tahar, Malek Hamad, and Hamad Alansi, who are working under the supervision of Dr. Uvais Qidwai on their senior project titled “NABATEQ: Plant Health Monitoring System Deep Learning Classification Approach”. The students project is featured at the exhibition until 27/2/2024 as part of Qatar Expo. The event cumulates a number of innovations, products, and companies that have brought a variety of technologies to assist in making the agricultural growth more sustainable, profitable, and viable for food security initiative from Qatar Vision 2030.
The student project focusses on the use of IoT technologies for sensory measurements and utilizes custom-cloud solutions for the implementation of the whole system. Artificial Intelligence has been deployed in providing meaningful feedback to the process controllers related to the plants’ health using optical and IR images.
The group was invited as a special exhibitor by the conference organizers due to its merit and importance in the overall food security efforts.
