🎯 Problem & Solution

The Crisis

Indian farmers lose 20-40% of crops annually to wildlife attacks — elephants trample fields, wild boars uproot vegetables, nilgai destroy wheat overnight. Traditional solutions like fencing (₹50,000/hectare) and night guards (₹8,000/month) are expensive and ineffective.

Our Solution

CropGuardAI deploys on a $35 Raspberry Pi with solar power to provide 24/7 automated wildlife detection. When animals approach, it sends SMS alerts to farmers and triggers deterrent lights — all without internet connectivity.

Before CropGuardAI	After CropGuardAI
🚫 40% crop loss	✅ 80% reduction
💰 ₹8,000/month guard	💰 ₹0/month operation
😴 Human fatigue	✅ AI never sleeps
📡 Internet required	✅ Completely offline

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

pip install tensorflow numpy pillow

Python Inference (5 Lines)

import tensorflow as tf, numpy as np
from PIL import Image

# Load model
interpreter = tf.lite.Interpreter(model_path="animal_classifier_fp16.tflite")
interpreter.allocate_tensors()

# Predict
img = np.expand_dims(np.array(Image.open("animal.jpg").resize((160,160))).astype(np.float32), 0)
interpreter.set_tensor(interpreter.get_input_details()[0]['index'], img)
interpreter.invoke()
pred = interpreter.get_tensor(interpreter.get_output_details()[0]['index'])[0]

classes = ["boar","cow","dog","elephant","human","monkey","nilgai"]
print(f"Detected: {classes[np.argmax(pred)]} ({np.max(pred)*100:.1f}%)")
