CropVox AI, the offline crop scanner
A proposed handheld device uses on-device computer vision to assess crop disease, pest damage, nutrient deficiency, and visible stress without a network connection.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with a guided camera view of a leaf, stem, or fruit and produces a likely problem category, confidence level, and structured next-step guidance. The initial crop library covers ten Nigerian crops, including maize, cassava, rice, yam, and sesame. The proposed hardware combines camera, touchscreen, physical scan control, audio, battery, and embedded compute, while retaining scan history locally for use beyond mobile coverage.
