AI for Agriculture & Edge Vision

Sanjivani

Instant crop diagnosis for the 2G world. Edge-first AI powered by INT8 MobileNetV2, built for real farms—not fast internet.

Classification Benchmark

98.2%

Validated across 15 crop disease classes (Tomato Early Blight, Potato Late Scab, Pepper Spot) using fine-tuned MobileNetV2 trained on 54,000+ PlantVillage images.

The Problem

Most farmers rely on delayed agronomy consultations or guesswork, losing critical harvest days. Existing AI solutions demand high-end smartphones and 5G connections—luxuries absent in rural agriculture.

The Solution

Sanjivani embeds expert CNN vision into offline progressive web apps. Farmers snap a photo of infected leaves and receive instant diagnosis and remedy instructions—even without internet.

Zero Latency Pipeline

Offline Vision Architecture

How Sanjivani diagnoses crop diseases locally on budget Android phones without server roundtrips.

01 // STAGE

Camera Capture & Preprocess

HTML5 Camera API captures leaf image, applies CLAHE contrast normalization, and resizes to 224x224 RGB array.

02 // STAGE

ONNX WASM Inference

Runs INT8 quantized MobileNetV2 directly inside WebAssembly, completing forward pass in under 150ms.

03 // STAGE

IndexedDB Local Cache

Prediction result, leaf image, and GPS tag are cached into IndexedDB for offline history and review.

04 // STAGE

Low-Bandwidth Sync

When 2G/3G connectivity is restored, Service Worker quietly syncs diagnostic telemetry to Flask cloud DB.

System Capabilities

Edge AI Detection

Fine-tuned MobileNetV2 covering 15+ disease classes across Tomato, Potato, and Pepper crops.

Sub-150ms WASM Speed

Instant local classification replaces multi-day consultation delays for critical farm decisions.

Offline-First PWA Engine

Fully functional without cellular service. Service Workers handle model caching and assets.

Budget Device Optimized

Minimal RAM and memory footprint (< 50MB runtime RAM) tailored for low-cost Android hardware.

IndexedDB Persistence

Store-and-Forward architecture guarantees zero data loss during power or network outages.

Actionable Remedies

Pairs disease classification with precise organic and chemical spray dosage instructions.

Engineered for the Edge.

The core engineering challenge wasn't just accuracy—it was accessibility under extreme bandwidth constraints. Rural farmers cannot wait for 15MB cloud model payloads.

By quantizing PyTorch MobileNetV2 parameters into INT8 precision, we shrank the binary from 14.2MB to 3.4MB, enabling ONNX WebAssembly to run predictions on-device at 60 FPS.

Model Quantization

MobileNetV2 INT8 Quantized PyTorch model (3.4 MB).

Inference Runtime

ONNX Runtime WebAssembly + OpenCV CLAHE normalization.

Client Application

React PWA + Service Workers + IndexedDB Store-and-Forward.
