Abstract

Agriculture is the backbone of any developing or developed country that makes any living to survive. To make food available throughout the year, it is necessary to know about agriculture and the work and strategies involved. Hence, agricultural courses have to be introduced to higher education students. Additionally, agriculture-related methods are available in many higher education institutions for longer. However, students and teachers will face difficulties in real-time practical classes during certain challenging circumstances. These situations require the teacher to utilize trending technologies to improve the teaching and learning process and to make it more manageable. In this study, for this process, a novel neural network-based recognition algorithm (NN-RA) is implemented that works similarly to a backpropagation neural network (BP-NN) to provide a practical agriculture course. The proposed BP-NN is compared with the existing NN-RA, I-SC, and I-VDT algorithms based on the data transfer and signal-to-noise ratio. From the results, it can be observed that the proposed BP-NN attains a higher accuracy in data transfer of 99%.
