Problems solved by technology

However, soybeans are densely planted in the field, and it is difficult for people to enter the field for height measurement
In production and life, people often encounter the problem that the measured object is too high or the distance is too far away. Although the mobile terminal can be used to take pictures, it is still impossible to know the height of the target plant
At present, the commonly used method is to use a telescopic ruler to take a reading after close-distance measurement. The advantage of this method is that it is very accurate, but its limitations are very large: first, the efficiency is low and the workload is large. The cost of accurate measurement of taller plants is very high; second, if the taller plants are measured, they cannot be measured directly with a ruler, and the measured objects are limited to the situation where people can approach the target object and can touch the top, resulting in extremely difficult operation. inconvenient

Embodiment 1

[0064] Embodiment 1: The mobile terminal 2 can take a picture of the plant from the bottom to the top.

[0065] Before taking a photo of the target plant, it is necessary to calibrate the magnification of the photo taken by the mobile terminal 2 to obtain the built-in scale of the mobile terminal 2, that is, at a known distance, the size of the plant in the photo taken by the mobile terminal 2 and its actual size The ratio of this method is called scale algorithm in the present invention. The specific calibration process is as follows:

[0066] The first step is to vertically insert an object whose height is known on the ground, for example, a straight rod marked with a scale can be inserted, and the inserted object is parallel to the measuring rod 11, and the distance between the inserted object and the measuring rod 11 is The distance is a fixed value, for example, it can be a known distance such as 1 meter or 2 meters;

[0067] The second step is to adjust the magnificati...

Embodiment 2

[0077] Embodiment 2: When the plant is in an upright state, the mobile terminal 2 can photograph the top of the plant, but cannot photograph the bottom of the plant.

[0078] The bottom of the plant in the densely planted field is invisible, so only the top of the target plant can be photographed when the mobile terminal 2 takes pictures. Since the number of pixels of the main stem height h of the plant is unknown, the actual height of the plant cannot be measured by the method in Example 1. In this embodiment, the actual height of the plant is calculated using the data measured by the measuring instrument. The specific steps are as follows:

[0079] Step21. Calculate the distance from the highest point of the plant to the ground, that is, the height h of the main stem of the plant.

[0080] During the measurement process, the measuring rod 11 is always perpendicular to the ground. When taking pictures, the mobile terminal 2 is used as a mass point to aim at the highest point ...

Embodiment 3

[0084] Embodiment 3: When the plant is in an inclined state, the mobile terminal 2 can photograph the top of the plant, but cannot photograph the bottom of the plant.

[0085] In this implementation, since the plant is in an inclined state, the measuring instrument cannot be adjusted to be parallel to the plant, so the actual height of the plant cannot be measured by the above method, but in this embodiment, the data measured by the measuring instrument can still be used to calculate the height of the plant. The actual height, the specific steps are as follows:

[0086] Step31. Turn the tilted direction of the plant towards the measuring instrument, fix the measuring instrument vertically on the ground, adjust the height of the measuring instrument so that the measuring instrument can just take a picture of the top of the plant, and connect the measuring part 13 to the height of the main stem of the plant h is set on the same straight line, then when taking a picture, the mobi...

Abstract

The present invention provides a portable long-distance plant size measuring instrument and the measuring method thereof which are used for acquiring phenotypic data of soybean plants in a field at any time and can also be used for acquiring phenotypic data of other outdoor plant images. The measuring instrument provided by the invention is a portable long-distance plant size measuring instrument,and comprises a measuring device and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is fixedly connected to the measuring device, and can be used for shooting plants. The mobile terminal receives measuring data sent by the measuring device, wherein the measuring data comprises parameters including the height from the mobile terminal to the ground during photographing of the mobile terminal, the distancebetween the mobile terminal and the highest point of the plants, an inclination angle during photographing of the mobile terminal and the like, various data and corresponding plant photos are bound, and the bound data is transmitted in a cloud server, the pictures are processed according to the data by adopting an artificial intelligence algorithm to obtain plant phenotypic data, namely the actualheight of a plant, and finally, the plant phenotypic data is stored into a plant phenotypic database.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of long-distance measurement, in particular to a portable long-distance plant size measuring instrument and a measuring method thereof. Background technique [0002] Soybean is an important grain and oil crop in the world, and it is also the main source of protein in human food. In order to breed high-quality soybean varieties, it is necessary to measure the phenotypic data of soybean crops, such as parameters such as height. However, the soybeans in the field are densely planted, and it is difficult for people to enter the field for height measurement. In production and life, people often encounter the problem that the measured object is too high or the distance is too far away. Although mobile terminals can be used to take pictures, it is still impossible to know the height of the target plant. At present, the commonly used method is to use a telescopic ruler to take a reading after close-distance measur...
