Abstract - Snakebites have been a major problem among

the farmers, especially in rural areas. According to a recent survey, 58,000 Indians die from snake bites annually, which is more than 50% of the world's total snake bite deaths. Almost 1.2 million Indians have lost their lives since 2000 in this manner. "Time" is the most valuable asset in these types of cases. We can save the people if they can get quick medical help. If there is a delay in this, the snake bite may cause serious damage to the organs, or in the worst cases, the person may die. Today, the IoT technology using different sensors in the field and deep learning techniques using convolutional neural networks allow us to detect these snakes, particularly in the agricultural fields, so that the farmers can be alerted using a buzzer and take precautionary measures against these dangerous reptiles. Identification of the species of the snake can also be accomplished with this system, ensuring the anti-venom is found as quickly as possible. This system also indirectly helps to conserve snakes in the area.
Sometimes, farmers do not actually recognize the snake species, and if they are lucky enough, they will kill them right away so that they do not get hurt. The fact that snakes are a crucial component of the food chain and that their widespread extinction might upset the balance makes this a potential issue as well. If snakes are killed in large numbers, this could disrupt the food chain. Therefore, we must reduce the harm humans do to them to protect them as well. For this reason, there must be a system where the sensors placed on the borders of the field can detect the snake movements and capture an image, which is then analysed and processed by various deep learning techniques to find out if it’s a venomous snake or not. If it’s venomous, the farmers are alerted immediately with the help of an alarm so that he will take some precautionary measures to quickly get out of trouble. The alerts will also be sent to members near the farm.

1. INTRODUCTION
2. RELATED WORK
India is a very diverse country and home to many snake species. Of all those species, some are very poisonous and deadly. India is a land that depends a lot on agriculture for economic growth. Farmers are always in grave danger because they spend most of their time in the field, where the snake may be present. Thus, snake bites become a major problem that must be solved as human lives are in danger.
In this section we discuss the work done previously by other authors/people all over the world. As per the paper [1], to accomplish the stated goal, the authors suggested a system that makes use of image analysis, CNN-based networks, and deep learning strategies. The automated image categorization system heavily utilizes CNN. Typically, characteristics are extracted and used for categorization. The researchers employed a database of 3050 RGB photos, divided into 28 species and of varied sizes. Images are subjected to the GrabCut method for pre-processing data, and data augmentation is carried out and trained using DenseNet 161.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), although the precise count of snake bites is unclear, it is believed that 5.4 million individuals are bitten every year, with close to 2.7 million of those bites resulting in poison. Every year, between 81,000 and 138,000 individuals pass away due to snake bites. In India, it is estimated that 58,000 people are dying due to snake bites annually, which is higher than any other country in the world. Venomous snake bites can result in a variety of medical conditions, including breathing difficulties, bleeding abnormalities that can result in tissue injury and deadly haemorrhage, and irreparable kidney failure that can
