TRINERA is a production-ready agricultural assistant that helps farmers identify pests and receive intelligent treatment advice. The system features:
- 3-Stage Intelligent Detection: Optimized for mobile devices with smart filtering
- Real-time Communication: WebSocket-based live mode with camera and voice
- Bilingual Support: English and Hindi interfaces
- Voice Integration: Speech-to-text input and text-to-speech output
- Conversational AI: Context-aware farming advice powered by Groq LLM
Farmers face challenges identifying pests quickly, especially in remote areas with limited internet. Traditional pest detection requires:
- Uploading images to slow services
- Waiting for expert consultation
- Understanding technical pest names
- Finding treatment information
TRINERA provides:
- Instant Analysis: 3-stage system filters unnecessary API calls (saves 90% bandwidth)
- Voice-First: Speak in local language, get audio responses
- Smart Detection: Only calls heavy models when needed
- Offline-First Design: Prepared for low-connectivity environments
3-Stage Architecture:
- Stage 1 - Quick Vision (100ms): Lightweight frame analysis every 3 seconds
- Stage 2 - Intent Matching (50ms): Smart keyword detection before heavy processing
- Stage 3 - Heavy Detection (3-5s): IP102 model for accurate pest identification
Benefits:
- β‘ 90% reduction in API calls
- π± Mobile-optimized (low bandwidth usage)
- π― Accurate detection only when needed
- π° Cost-effective for farmers
- Real-time Camera: Continuous frame capture and analysis
- Voice Input: Speak naturally in English or Hindi
- Voice Output: Audio responses via Edge TTS (free, no API key)
- Visual Feedback: Analysis status overlay with progress indicators
- Session Management: Context-aware conversations
Note: Mobile TTS playback feature will be available soon. Currently optimized for desktop browsers.
- Image Upload: Upload pest photos for analysis
- Conversational AI: Ask questions about farming, crops, and pests
- Markdown Support: Rich text responses with formatting
- Bilingual: Full English and Hindi support
- WebSocket Communication: Real-time bidirectional data flow
- Session Persistence: Maintains conversation context
- Error Handling: Graceful degradation when services unavailable
- Responsive Design: Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile

}Symptoms: "WebSocket failed to connect" in console
Solutions:
- Check backend is running:
curl http://localhost:8000/health - Verify CORS settings include your frontend URL
- Use
wss://for HTTPS sites,ws://for HTTP - Check firewall/proxy settings
Symptoms: Permission denied or device not found
Solutions:
- Grant browser permissions (check address bar icon)
- Use HTTPS (required for getUserMedia in production)
- Check browser compatibility (Chrome/Edge recommended)
- Ensure no other app is using the devices
Symptoms: Access-Control-Allow-Origin error
Solutions:
# Backend .env
CORS_ORIGINS=http://localhost:3000,https://your-frontend.vercel.appSymptoms: pest_name: "Configuration Error"
Root Cause: IP102 model not deployed to Gradio Space
Solutions:
- Deploy IP102 model to HuggingFace Gradio Space
- Update
HF_MODEL_IDin backend.env - Or use fallback: System will provide general advice
Frontend:
- Must start with
NEXT_PUBLIC_ - Rebuild after adding variables
- Check Vercel dashboard for production
Backend:
- Check Railway/Render variables tab
- Redeploy after changes
- Use
os.getenv()to access
Enable Verbose Logging:
Backend:
# app/main.py
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)Frontend:
// Check browser console
console.log('API URL:', config.apiUrl);
console.log('WebSocket URL:', config.wsUrl);Check Logs:
Railway:
railway logsVercel:
vercel logsLocal:
- Backend: Check terminal output
- Frontend: Check browser console (F12)
3-Stage Detection Benefits:
- Stage 1: 100ms (fallback) vs 2s (API call)
- Stage 2: 50ms (keyword matching)
- Stage 3: Only called when needed (10% of queries)
- Overall: 90% reduction in heavy API calls
Bandwidth Usage:
- Frame sending: 100KB per 3 seconds
- Voice: Real-time (minimal)
- TTS Audio: 200KB per response
- Total: ~35KB/sec average
Mobile Optimization:
- Lazy loading components
- Optimized image compression
- Debounced frame sending
- Smart intent filtering
- β Environment variables for secrets
- β CORS configuration
- β Input validation and sanitization
- β Error handling (no sensitive data in errors)
- β HTTPS in production
- β Session expiration (1 hour TTL)
- β No API keys in frontend code
- Use strong API keys
- Rotate keys regularly
- Monitor API usage
- Set rate limits (if needed)
- Keep dependencies updated
