Problems solved by technology

However, the existing image pattern recognition is based on two-dimensional image processing, and it is difficult to identify and locate when the leaves of crops and weeds overlap and block
Its recognition rate is low and its positioning is inaccurate
At the same time, at present, the observation and measurement of crop growth status, plant spacing and seedling number are mainly carried out manually, which consumes a lot of human resources and the measured data has large errors, which cannot meet the needs of modernization and automation of agricultural production.

Embodiment 1

[0040] The first embodiment of the present invention is a method for identifying and locating crops and weeds based on three-dimensional time-of-flight imaging. The method is suitable for identifying and locating crops and weeds with obvious stem characteristics. The steps as follows:

[0041] A. Three-dimensional image acquisition

[0042] Use a 3D time-of-flight camera to capture and obtain side-view 3D images of crops and weed seedlings from the side;

[0043] figure 1 That is, the side-view three-dimensional image obtained by taking pictures of cotton.

[0044] B. Segmentation of soil and background crop rows

[0045] For the side-view 3D image, according to the difference in the reflected light intensity of the soil, crops and weeds, the threshold segmentation method is used to segment and remove the soil; according to the depth difference between the nearest current crop row and other background crop rows, the threshold segmentation method is used to separate remove ...

Embodiment approach

[0055]The second embodiment of the present invention is a method for identifying and locating crops and weeds based on three-dimensional time-of-flight imaging. The method is suitable for identifying and locating crops and weeds with obvious leaf characteristics. The steps are as follows :

[0056] A. Three-dimensional image acquisition

[0057] The three-dimensional time-of-flight camera is used to capture the top-view three-dimensional images of crops and weed seedlings from above;

[0058] Figure 4 That is, the top-view three-dimensional image obtained by photographing corn seedlings.

[0059] B. Soil segmentation treatment

[0060] For the top-view three-dimensional image, the soil is separated and removed by the threshold segmentation method according to the height difference between the soil and the seedling body;

[0061] C. Leaf segmentation and feature extraction

[0062] For the image obtained in step B, use the three-dimensional image local area growth algorit...

Abstract

Provided is a crop-weed identification and positioning method based on three-dimensional flight time method imaging. When plant seedling stalk characteristics are obvious, a three-dimensional flight time camera is adopted to obtain side view three-dimensional images of plant seedlings; and when plant seedling leaf blade characteristics are obvious, the three-dimensional flight time camera is adopted to obtain overlook three-dimensional images of the plant seedlings. Then three-dimensional soil partition pretreatment is respectively performed on the side view three-dimensional images and the overlook three-dimensional images, a Hough conversion algorithm and a tube characteristic measuring algorithm are adopted to extract stalk characteristics for the plant seedlings with the obvious stalk characteristics; for the plant seedlings with the obvious leaves, a three-dimensional image local area increase algorithm or a continuous method for inspecting local surface normal direction changes is adopted to extract leaf blade proceeding characteristics; weeds are identified and positioned on the basis of characteristic extraction, and rapid and automatic weeding operation can be performed by matching with a weeding device; simultaneously plant stalk and seedling center positions undergo three-dimensional reconstruction and positioning, accurate positioning of the crop plant seedlings is performed, crop growth data such as planting distances and seeding numbers of crops are obtained automatically, and dynamic automatic accurate management of crop growth is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a crop-weed identification and positioning method based on three-dimensional time-of-flight imaging. technical background [0002] my country is a large agricultural country, and there are many kinds of weeds in the farmland with a wide distribution range. In traditional agriculture, the infestation of weeds is one of the main problems that plague the growth of crops. [0003] According to the statistics of the National Plant Protection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, the amount of labor spent on weeding in my country is as high as 2-3 billion labor days every year, and the labor for weeding in farmland accounts for 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the total field workload. The grain loss caused by weed disasters in my country still reaches an average of 13.4%, and the annual loss of grain production is about 17,500 thousand tons. In recent years, with the development of the country's economic production, the number of people engaged in agr...
