ABSTRACT
Heavy metal concentrations that must be maintained in aquaponic environments for plant growth have been a source of concern for many decades, as they cannot be completely eliminated in a commercial set-up. Our goal was to create a low-cost real-time smart sensing and actuation system for controlling heavy metal concentrations in aquaponic solutions. Our solution entails sensing the nutrient concentrations in the hydroponic solution, specifically calcium, sulfate, and phosphate, and sending them to a Machine Learning (ML) model hosted on an Android application. The ML algorithm used in this case was a Linear Support Vector Machine (Linear-SVM) trained on top three nutrient predictors chosen after applying a pipeline of Feature Selection methods namely a pairwise correlation matrix, ExtraTreesClassifier and Xgboost classifier on a dataset recorded from three aquaponic farms from South-East Texas. The ML algorithm was then hosted on a cloud platform which would then output the maximum tolerable levels of iron, copper and zinc in real time using the concentration of phosphorus, calcium and sulfur as inputs and would be controlled using an array of dispensing and detecting equipments in a closed loop system.
