Precision agriculture (PA) is meant to automate the complete agricultural processes with the sole target of enhanced crop yield with reduced cost of operation. However, deployment of PA in internet of things (IoT) based architecture demands solutions towards addressing various challenges where most are related to proper and precise predictive management of agricultural data. In this perspective, it is noted that learning-based approaches have made some contributory success towards addressing different variants of issues in PA; however, such methods suffer from certain loopholes, primarily related to the non-inclusion of practical constraints of IoT infrastructure in PA and lack of emphasis towards bridging the trade-off between higher accuracy and computational burden that is eventually associated with this. This paper contributes towards highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of recent learning approaches and contributes towards novel findings.

The primary safety hazard at unsignalized intersections, particularly in urban areas, is pedestrian-vehicle collisions. Due to its complexity and inattention, pedestrian crossing behaviour has a significant impact on their safety. This study introduces a novel framework to enhance pedestrian safety at unsignalized intersections by developing a predictive model of pedestrian crossing behaviour using machine learning algorithms. While accounting for crossing behaviour as the dependent variable and other independent variables, the analysis prioritises accuracy and internal validity. Important feature scores for the different algorithms were assessed. The model results revealed that the arrival first of a pedestrian or vehicle, pedestrian delay, vehicle speed, pedestrian speed, age, gender, traffic hour, and vehicle category are highly influencing variables for analysing pedestrian behaviour while crossing at unsignalized intersections. This study found that the prediction of pedestrian behaviour based on random forest, extreme gradient boosting and binary logit model achieved 81.72%, 77.19% and 74.95%, respectively. Algorithms, including k-nearest neighbours, artificial neural networks, and support vector machines, have varying classification performance at every step. The findings of this study may be used to support infrastructure-to-vehicle interactions, enabling vehicles to successfully negotiate rolling pedestrian behaviour and improving pedestrian safety.

In an agricultural system, finding suitable watering, pesticides, and soil content to provide the right nutrients for the right plant remains challenging. Plants cannot speak and cannot ask for the food they require. These problems can be addressed by applying intelligent (fuzzy logic) controllers to IoT devices in order to enhance communication between crops, ground mobile robots, aerial robots, and the entire farm system. The application of fuzzy logic in agriculture is a promising technology that can be used to optimize crop yields and reduce water usage. It was developed based on language and the air properties in agricultural fields. The entire system was simulated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment with Cisco Packet Tracer integration. The inputs for the system were soil moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors, and the outputs were pump flow, valve opening, water level, and moisture in the sounding. The obtained results were the output of the valve opening, moisture in the sounding, pump flow rate, outflow, water level, and ADH values, which are 10.00000013 rad/s, 34.72%, 4.494%, 0.025 m 3 /s, 73.31 cm 3 , and 750 values, respectively. The outflow rate increase indicates that water is being released from the tanks, and the control signal fluctuates, indicating that the valve is opening.

Background. Smart irrigation is a research field which grows very fast. It facilitates the contribution of technologies on smart agriculture. Smart irrigation is a broad topic with overwhelming literature published and available semantic ambiguity, so covering such a vast topic is not easy without scoping reviews. To enable researchers to gain a deep knowledge of structure of the field, a scientometric-based scoping review was conducted. Methods. The bibliometric data focused on smart irrigation from databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were downloaded, thoroughly merged, and cleaned to meet the inclusion criteria. These data were analyzed and clustered using K-means from VOSviewer. VOSviewer is used to create coauthor and coword occurrence network graphs from keywords, titles, and abstracts. Results. The findings highlight the broad scope of the research field, the ambiguity of the terminology, the lack of collaboration, and the absence of research into the impact of smart irrigation on agriculture. The leading institutions and researchers in the field and geographical distribution are from China, Israel, Australia, and Egypt. The leading main topics addressed in the field are IOT, smart irrigation, irrigation, water stress, energy, deep learning, soil moisture, and relations in the network. Conclusion. Smart irrigation (drip irrigation + IoT) in agriculture increases crop yield, increases water use efficiency, and decreases costs. In future work, large studies need to be conducted to establish and investigate the scope of smart irrigation research to reveal the knowledge structure, current state of practice, and key actors in the field.

Conference Paper
This research aims to develop a Machine Learning model for predicting soil moisture levels, which may be used to construct smart irrigation systems. The model was evaluated and trained using data from the "Smart Irrigation System Dataset" made publicly available by the University of California, Irvine. A transfer-learned ResNet50 model is evaluated using various classification measures like accuracy, recall, precision, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). The proposed model has an AUC of 0.95, meaning it correctly identifies positive and negative samples 95% of the time. Moreover, the model's performance is measured against that of other famous machine learning models like logistic regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), random forests, decision trees, and naive Bayes, with the majority of these conventional models being outperformed. These findings have ramifications for researchers and engineers creating intelligent irrigation systems for precision agriculture.

Nowadays, securing the sensed data in the cloud server is one of the significant concerns in blockchain technology. Although different Machine Learning (ML) based security frameworks are developed, they face specific issues in confidentiality, time consumption, if the dataset is large, processing the data in an existing security system isn't easy, etc. Thus, a novel hybrid Recurrent Neural Elliptical Curve Blockchain (RNECB) was designed to securely store the sensed agricultural data in the cloud server. The dataset was gathered from a standard website. This model filters the input dataset in the pre-processing phase and enters it into the field monitoring module. The monitoring mechanism in the presented approach provides continuous monitoring and extracts meaningful features. In addition, crypto analysis was carried out to hide the extracted features from third parties. These encrypted data were then stored in the cloud server. Furthermore, security analysis was performed by launching attacks on the cloud server, and the results are estimated in two cases before and after the attack. The presented model was implemented in python software, and the accuracy attained about 97.7%, the confidential rate about 97.98%, encryption, decryption, and execution time taken were about 2.7 ms, 2.6 ms, and 11 ms, respectively. And also, the proposed model attained a lower error rate of about 0.0227%. The calculated results were compared with the existing security approaches. The comparative assessment verifies that the designed model earned better results than others.
