Utilizing IoT-Enhanced Multilayer Perceptron and Run Length Encoding for Classifying Plant Suitability Based on pH and Soil Humidity Parameters

This research proposes an IoT-based system for classifying plant suitability using pH data and soil humidity parameters. The system utilizes Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to compress sensor data, which is transmitted to a database server via the Esp8266 module. A Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorithm is employed to classify the data, achieving an accuracy of 0.82 with only two parameters. The classification results are displayed on a website, providing real-time recommendations for farmers. The system's performance is evaluated using a dataset from Kaggle. The Kaggle dataset contains 2200 instances for 22 different plants and the results show that the proposed system can effectively classify plant suitability based on environmental factors. This research contributes to the development of IoT-based recommendation systems for precision agriculture, and future studies can build upon this work to improve accuracy and quality.
