App helps Android users detect pests

The app works by isolating the color(s) of pests in real-time. The app detects the color of the pest when they enter the trap and an audio signal indicates their presence ensuring early detection, helping pest management professionals pinpoint the presence of pests as soon as they enter the trap.

 

The app works by simply tapping the screen to select the pest color from images of the target pest and placing the phone in position.

 

The shape of the pest is filled in red making them clearly visible when the pest is moving inside the trap, when the phone is placed on the outside of the trap. Attachable phone lenses such as macro, microscope and zoom lenses will increase the detection range possibilities.

 

Future versions of the app will have networking capabilities for wireless devices such as ip cameras and wireless bore scopes for remote surveillance and inspection work. The app will also have a text alert system for remote GPS notifications.
