Embodiment Construction

[0028] The present invention is specifically described below by means of drawings and examples.

[0029] like figure 1 Shown, a kind of crop row detection algorithm based on minimum tangent circle and morphological principle among the present invention, comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step S1, using the MV-VD030SC model industrial camera and the AFT-0814MP lens to collect cornfield images, the height of the camera is about 1.8 meters above the ground, and the obtained 8-bit RGB color image is decolorized, as shown in Figure 2 (a) Show. Save the RGB color image in a computer program in BMP format with an image size of 640*480. Through the MFC-based image processing vision program, the picture is directly displayed on the program running interface.

[0031] Step S2, performing grayscale processing on the acquired RGB color image using an improved overgreen grayscale method. Improve the traditional overgreen feature algorithm Gray=2G-R-B, and get an improved gray algo...

Abstract

The invention discloses a crop row detection method based on the minimum tangent circle principle and morphology. The steps are as follows: collecting corn crop row images in an outdoor field environment; using an improved overgreen grayscale method to gray the corn crop row images The median filter basically eliminates the noise interference and the target area is clearly separated; then the binary image of the corn crop row is obtained by using the maximum inter-class variance method; according to the linear characteristics of the crop row, 5 *1 The method of combining linear structural elements and 3*3 square structural elements is used to perform erosion and expansion operations; the method of combining the minimum tangent circle and morphology is used to extract the skeleton of the central corn crop row and to simulate the central crop row straight line combine. The invention can provide accurate position information for the navigation line, has strong anti-interference ability to the edge noise of the crop row, provides a reference basis for further research on precise pesticide application, and can meet the needs of agricultural machinery for walking in opposite directions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of crop row detection, in particular to a crop row detection method based on the minimum tangent circle and morphological principles, which is mainly used in the detection of the centerline of crop rows for automatic walking of agricultural machinery or automatic alignment of precise pesticide application machinery . Background technique [0002] In the research of modern precision agriculture system, the identification of crop row centerline information plays an important role. Digital image processing algorithm has great advantages in automatic identification, which is the foundation and key technology of modern precision agriculture. Previous studies have shown that crop row extraction methods have the disadvantages of singleness and poor adaptability, and different periods of crop growth, illumination, and crop types will affect the realization of the algorithm. Designing a crop row recognition method ...
