Insect Pests Detection in Stored Grains

The proposed project is to develop a market viable insect pests detection in stored grains system based on the interns novel active microwave sensing technique. This proposal seeks to build upon optimizing the sensing capabilities of the prototype and to coherently develop a functional array of sensors. Building upon these fundamentals the project will extend to large scale testing in grain silos for real-world scenarios. Throughout the project, live-demonstrations will be put in place to focus the development towards end-user functionality designed through feedback and to later compare with any competitors. The benefits to the partner organization would be helping to foster a Canadian-based startup company through their guidance and the future possibility of the work to significantly impact the grain-managing sector in Canada.
