In agriculture, image data is widely used for the diagnosis of cultivation management, cultivation record, and growth level and diagnoses of pests, etc. In this research, we developed a BIX Image Broker System that used P2P. The purpose of this system is an efficient exchange of agricultural products images. This system was developed for Hybrid type P2P system and this system distributes and manages the meta data and the image data. By having developed as hybrid type P2P system, the search speed of the image improves and images are efficiently exchanged. In addition, we can use the function of the certification of joining in the group.
By this function, we can exchange data safely in a specific group. Users can easily search or get images by using a user-interface on a P2P node.
In this research, we developed a prototype system and then we experimented on the Internet. From the experiment result, we showed the feasibility of the P2P system that exchanges agricultural products image.
