Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of facility agriculture biological information detection, and more particularly to a crop growth drought stress detection system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern agriculture and the intensification of global climate change, plant drought stress has become an important factor affecting crop yield and quality. In order to timely detect and effectively respond to plant drought stress, the agricultural field continues to explore and innovate detection methods to provide more accurate water management solutions. In the detection of drought stress in plants, the main methods currently used include physiological and biochemical indicator detection methods, soil moisture detection methods, remote sensing technology, spectroscopy and visual observation, etc., but these methods have certain limitations:

[0003] The physiological and biochemical index detection method evaluates the moisture status of crops by detecting chlorophyll content, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, relative water content, etc. However, the cost of professional equipment and technicians is high and the detection process is complicated. The soil moisture detection method uses soil moisture sensors, soil water potential meters and other equipment to detect the moisture content in the soil in real time. However, due to the difference between the soil moisture status and the actual moisture absorbed and utilized by crops, it cannot directly reflect the moisture demand of crops. Remote sensing technology and spectral visual observation methods are the main methods for crop drought stress in recent years. However, due to the relatively high spatial resolution requirements of remote sensing data, it is impossible to detect plants in a small area. The spectral point source method and the visual reliance on plant color texture and other methods cannot fully characterize the characteristic information of plant drought stress, thus limiting the further development and application of plant drought stress detection.

[0004] Multispectral imaging technology overcomes the limitations of point source detection of spectral technology and provides richer plant information. At the same time, polarization imaging technology uses the polarization characteristics of light to obtain microstructural information that traditional imaging methods cannot provide. Multispectral polarization imaging technology provides a new solution for crop drought stress detection, which can achieve non-destructive detection of crops and improve the accuracy and timeliness of detection, providing strong support for precision agricultural production.

[0005] At present, there are some relevant applications in non-destructive testing of plants based on multispectral and polarization image technology in China. When acquiring polarization spectrum information, the polarization optical system of the Chinese patent "CN 103018179A" is fixedly connected to the near-infrared detection system and fixed at a specific angle. Therefore, the information collected by the device only contains a specific angle of polarization, and the information provided by the polarization optical system is not fully utilized. The Chinese patent "CN 103048266A" is relatively more complete in function and data processing, and uses more information. However, the biggest disadvantage of this system is that it cannot realize outdoor real-time detection, because the system involves laboratory instruments such as scanning electron microscopes and microscopes, which need to be used in conjunction with laboratory operations. And the system does not have the function of drought stress detection. The investigation found that although spectral and polarization technologies have played an important role in plant stress, the methods and settings of polarization and spectral fusion detection are not common in the application of plant drought or water stress. In summary, these technologies still have certain limitations, such as incomplete information acquisition, high cost, high technical requirements, and inability to realize outdoor real-time detection. The detection technology of plant drought stress is constantly developing, and multispectral and polarization imaging technologies provide new possibilities for plant drought stress.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a crop growth drought stress detection system and method that can solve the above problems is an issue that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0121] The corn canopy is at a fixed height from the multispectral camera, which is adjusted as the corn grows. The width is adjusted as the width of the planting plot, so that the multispectral polarization camera is always on the geometric center axis of the rectangular plot.

[0122] The information of collecting different drought stress samples includes: collecting multispectral polarization images at four polarization angles of 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° at the same point; collecting any fixed point of a corn field with different drought stress gradients, which is within the imaging range of the camera and is a corn plant treated with the same stress gradient.

[0123] The processing of the captured multi-spectral polarization images refers to using the image processing system to perform channel registration on the spectral polarization multi-images, extract the reflectance, polarization angle, polarization degree, and intensity images of corn, fuse and analyze these images, and select the characteristic image that can reflect the greatest stress change of corn caused by drought stress. Multi-information fusion analysis is performed on the characteristic image, and a multi-information fusion model of multi-spectral polarization-image is constructed to establish a detection model for the drought stress state of corn.

[0124] The corn drought stress gradient refers to the national farmland moisture content standard. The evaluation of corn drought stress status is guided by the modeling results and the performance of the detection model is evaluated with reference to the set stress gradient.

[0125] The multispectral polarization detection model for corn drought stress is a support vector machine (SVM) model. The dataset used is the multispectral polarization image and its reflectivity after being screened and processed by the image processing system. The multispectral image and reflectivity are associated with the degree of drought stress, and an independent validation dataset is used to evaluate the prediction ability of the model. The parameters of the model are adjusted according to the validation results to improve the accuracy and generalization ability of the model.
