Image Controller: this module is used to capture images, i.e., to take a snapshot of the poultry farm for further density evaluation. In addition, for the purpose of data transmission cost reduction while maintaining the image quality. Especially over cellular network transmissions, an extra color transformation logic is optionally performed.
Environmental and Density Monitoring Controller: this module primarily functions as a mobile monitor interfacing with sensing devices, especially to interact with an additional controller board, Google ADK Arduino form GROVE systems [www.seedstudio.com]. Here, there extra sensors, namely temperature, humidity, and light (ZX-02F) [www.inex.co.th], were added including Bluetooth version 3 (ZX-BLUETOOTH) [www.inexglobal.com] interaction with a Windows Phone.
Environmental and Density Command Controller: this management system not only has sensing capability but also controls other mechanical devices to adjust the environmental behavior, especially with the propeller controller and optionally including light bulbs and electronic fans.
