Embodiment 1

[0015] See figure 1 , This Kinect-based automatic flower cultivation system includes Kinect equipment 1, flower pot with humidity sensor 2, nutrient solution storage tank 6, integrated controller 9, upper computer 10; the lower part of the nutrient solution storage tank 6 passes through the third solenoid valve 7 Connected to the shunt pipe 5, the water supply pipe 8 is connected to the shunt pipe 5 through the second solenoid valve 4, each branch of the shunt pipe 5 is equipped with the first solenoid valve 3, the integrated controller 9 is connected to the flowerpot 2 with the humidity sensor through the wire , The first solenoid valve 3, the second solenoid valve 4, and the third solenoid valve 7 are connected, and the Kinect device 1 and the integrated controller 9 communicate with the host computer 10 through a data transmission line.

Embodiment 2

[0017] This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, and the special features are as follows: the color and morphological characteristics of flowers can be collected through the RGB camera and 3D depth sensor of the Kinect device 1; the host computer 10 collects the color and morphological characteristics of the flowers by the Kinect device 1 Recognize, determine the growth status of flowers, and realize automatic watering of flowers through the integrated controller 9; flowerpot 2 with humidity sensor can detect the humidity change in the flowerpot in real time, and transmit the detected humidity information to the integrated control in real time 器9: The first solenoid valve 3, the second solenoid valve 4 and the third solenoid valve 7 can be controlled by the integrated controller 9.

[0018] The use method of the flower automatic cultivation system of the present invention:

[0019] Fix the nutrient solution storage tank 6 at a place higher than the flowers and f...

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic flower cultivation system based on Kinect. The automatic flower cultivation system comprises a Kinect device, flower pots with humidity sensors, a nutrient solution storage tank, an integrated controller and an upper computer. The bottom of the nutrient solution storage tank is connected with a diverting pipe through a third solenoid valve, a water supply pipe is connected with the diverting pipe through a second solenoid valve, and a first solenoid valve is mounted on each branch pipe of the diverting pipe. The integrated controller is connected with the flower pots with the humidity sensors, the first, second and third solenoid valves respectively through leads. The Kinect device and the integrated controller are in communication with the upper computer through data transmission lines. By the automatic flower cultivation system, flower growing states can be monitored in real time, and automatic flower cultivation can be realized. The automatic flower cultivation system is applicable to both small-scale flower cultivation in households and large-scale flower cultivation, and is easy to manufacture, high in reliability and strong in practicability, and mass capital investment is omitted.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a Kinect-based automatic flower cultivation system, which belongs to the field of human life. Background technique [0002] Morphological characteristics are the body language of flowers, and real-time monitoring of them is of great significance in the analysis of growth status of breeding work and judgment of diseases and insect pests. The traditional monitoring of the growth morphology of the value object is mainly obtained through tedious manual measurement or the use of expensive image acquisition equipment. These methods are too complicated to measure and may damage the growth of plants. In order to solve this problem, the present invention adopts the corresponding API application program interface in the Kinect and Kinect SDK system development kit, which is an image recognition device developed by Microsoft Corporation, and combines with the automatic flower cultivation system to realize the automatic and intelligent cultivat...
