Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the agricultural field, specifically to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and processor for dividing agricultural area management zones. Background Technology
[0002] The yield of food crops is closely related to national food security and individual living standards. Therefore, it is particularly important to implement precise zoning management of farmland in order to maximize production benefits with minimal production input.
[0003] Existing technical solutions typically use soil nutrient data and remote sensing data to manage and zone farmland. However, this management and zoning method fails to take into account the actual situation, such as the current crop varieties, rice types, planting methods, and previous crops. As a result, it often fails to truly guide farmers in actual agricultural operations, such as the quantitative input of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, and the unified arrangement of sowing, transplanting, and harvesting operations for each management zone, thereby improving the overall coordination and efficiency of farm operations. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, storage medium, and processor for dividing agricultural area management zones.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application provides a method for dividing agricultural regional management zones, comprising:
[0006] The process involves: acquiring information on currently planted crops within the agricultural area, including crop varieties, planting methods, and rice cultivation types; dividing the agricultural area into multiple primary management zones based on this information; determining the soil and ground elevation information for each primary management zone; identifying the previous crop variety for each primary management zone; establishing multiple grids corresponding to each primary management zone and extracting grid data for each grid, including the previous crop variety, soil information, and ground elevation information; and clustering and classifying the grid data for each primary management zone using a pre-defined clustering algorithm to obtain secondary management zones for the agricultural area, thereby enabling the development of corresponding agricultural operations based on these secondary management zones.
[0007] In the embodiments of this application, determining the previous crop variety for each primary management zone includes: determining the target historical time period for each primary management zone based on the crop variety currently planted in each primary management zone; acquiring historical remote sensing images of each primary management zone during the corresponding target historical time period; determining the remote sensing vegetation index for each primary management zone based on the historical remote sensing images; and determining the previous crop variety for each primary management zone based on the remote sensing vegetation index.
[0008] In the embodiments of this application, the target value range of the remote sensing vegetation index corresponding to the same crop type in different target historical time periods is different. Determining the previous crop variety of each first-level management zone based on the remote sensing vegetation index includes: for each target historical time period, determining the actual vegetation index of each first-level management zone in the target historical time period; for each first-level management zone, determining the crop type corresponding to the target value range of the actual vegetation index of the first-level management zone as the previous crop variety of the first-level management zone.
[0009] In the embodiments of this application, determining the soil information and ground elevation information of each primary management zone includes: establishing a boundary file for each primary management zone using a geographic information system; and determining the soil information and ground elevation information of each primary management zone based on the boundary file.
[0010] In the embodiments of this application, determining the soil information of each primary management zone includes: obtaining soil samples from each primary management zone; measuring the nutrient parameters and physical parameters of the soil samples to determine the soil information of each primary management zone. The nutrient parameters include organic matter, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, and soil pH value, and the physical parameters include bulk density and particle composition.
[0011] In embodiments of this application, the method further includes: acquiring three-dimensional point cloud data of agricultural areas collected by drones; determining field elevation information of agricultural areas based on the three-dimensional point cloud data; and determining ground elevation information of each primary management zone based on the field elevation information.
[0012] In the embodiments of this application, clustering and classifying the grid data of each primary management partition based on a preset clustering algorithm to obtain the secondary management partitions of the agricultural area includes: clustering and classifying the grid data of each primary management partition based on the k-means algorithm to obtain the secondary management partitions of the agricultural area, wherein the value of k in the k-means algorithm is determined using the elbow rule.
[0013] A second aspect of this application provides a processor configured to perform the method described above for dividing agricultural area management zones.
[0014] A third aspect of this application provides an apparatus for dividing agricultural area management zones, including a processor configured to perform the above-described method for dividing agricultural area management zones.
[0015] A fourth aspect of this application provides a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to perform the aforementioned method for dividing agricultural area management zones.
[0016] The above technical solution enables precise zoning of agricultural areas, allowing farmers to perform quantitative operations within each zone, thereby improving the accuracy of agricultural operations and the overall coordination and efficiency of agricultural operations. Furthermore, by first dividing the area into primary management zones based on current crop information, and then further subdividing each primary zone into secondary management zones, the solution takes into account information such as the current crop variety, rice type, planting method, and previous crop variety. This zoning method, combined with current practical factors, makes the zoning more precise and provides greater guidance.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] Figure 1 The illustration schematically depicts a flowchart of a method for dividing agricultural area management zones according to an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown in one embodiment of this application, a method for dividing agricultural area management zones is provided, comprising the following steps:
[0024] Step 101: Obtain information on the crops currently planted within the agricultural area. The crop information includes crop varieties, planting methods, and rice cultivation types.
[0025] Step 102: Based on crop information, divide the agricultural area into multiple primary management zones.
[0026] Step 103: Determine the soil information and ground elevation information for each primary management zone.
[0027] Step 104: Determine the preceding crop variety for each primary management zone.
[0028] Step 105: Establish multiple grids corresponding to each primary management zone, and extract grid data for each grid. The grid data includes the previous crop variety, soil information, and ground elevation information.
[0029] Step 106: Cluster and classify the grid data of each primary management zone based on a preset clustering algorithm to obtain secondary management zones of agricultural areas, and formulate corresponding agricultural operations based on the secondary management zones.
[0030] Crops refer to agricultural crops, such as rice and wheat. In this technical solution, the currently planted crop can refer to rice. Taking rice as an example, the crop variety in the crop information refers to the variety of rice. Transplanting method refers to the cultivation method; the transplanting method for crop varieties can refer to the transplanting method for rice. Generally, rice transplanting methods include direct seeding, transplanting, and broadcasting. Direct seeding refers to a cultivation method where seeds are sown directly in the field without seedling raising or transplanting. Direct seeding can be divided into direct seeding in paddy fields and direct seeding in dry fields. Based on the degree of mechanization, direct seeding can also be divided into manual sowing and mechanical sowing. Transplanting refers to planting seedlings into paddy fields, or transplanting seedlings from nursery beds to paddy fields; transplanting provides more growing space for the seedlings. Broadcasting refers to throwing seeds that have not yet fully grown into seedlings into the field by hand, or throwing seedlings into the paddy field before they have grown large enough. Rice cropping type refers to the rice cropping system, which is the system of classifying the same farmland according to the number of times it can be planted and harvested in a year. Rice cropping types can be divided into single-season mid-season rice, single-season late-season rice, double-season early-season rice, double-season late-season rice, ratooning rice, etc. After obtaining the information on the currently planted crop, the agricultural area is divided into multiple primary management zones based on the crop information. That is, after obtaining the variety, planting method, and rice cropping type of the currently planted rice, the agricultural area is divided into multiple primary management zones according to: Variety Type 1 * Planting Method * Rice Cropping Type + ... + Variety Type N * Planting Method * Rice Cropping Type. For example, an agricultural area is planted with three varieties of rice, including Meixiangzhan 2, Quanyou Huazhan, and Quanyou Simiao, all of which are single-season mid-season rice. Among them, Meixiangzhan 2 is planted by direct seeding, while Quanyou Huazhan and Quanyou Simiao are planted by transplanting. Therefore, the farm can be divided into first-level management zones according to the following sequence: Meixiangzhan No. 2 * transplanting * single-season medium-grain rice + Quanyou Huazhan * transplanting * single-season medium-grain rice + Quanyou Simiao * transplanting * single-season medium-grain rice. The number of first-level zones is 1*1*1 + 1*1*1 + 1*1*1 = 3, meaning a total of 3 first-level management zones. Management zoning, which utilizes multi-source data for scientific farmland management, is a crucial foundation for precision agriculture. Precise management zoning allows for the control of variable inputs into farmland. Scientific and rational zoning guides farmers in applying fertilizers according to the zoning units, effectively improving agricultural economic efficiency. It not only enhances the productive potential of arable land but also accelerates the efficient and sustainable use of arable land, which is of great significance for increasing farmers' income and ensuring food security.
[0031] After dividing the land into primary management zones, it is necessary to determine the soil information and ground elevation information for each zone. Ground elevation refers to the vertical height of a point on the ground relative to the Yellow Sea level; this information is equivalent to altitude. Next, the preceding crop variety for each primary management zone needs to be determined. In crop rotation, different types and varieties of crops are planted on the same plot of land to ensure a reasonable combination and connection. For example, if soybeans are planted after wheat, wheat is the preceding crop, and soybeans are the following crop.
[0032] After determining the soil information, ground elevation information, and previous crop variety for each primary management zone, a grid corresponding to each primary management zone is established, and grid data for each grid is extracted. This grid data includes the previous crop variety, soil information, and ground elevation information. The grid can be established using GIS software (Geographic Information System), and the grid size can be set according to requirements. In this technical solution, the grid size can be set to 5m*5m. Then, the grid data is clustered and classified based on a preset clustering algorithm to obtain the secondary management zones of the agricultural area. Smaller sub-zones can be merged into larger sub-zones after classification, rather than being treated as separate sub-zones, to avoid operational difficulties due to fragmented sub-zones. The definition of whether a sub-zone area is too small depends on the specific area of the agricultural region and the availability of agricultural machinery. For example, a sub-zone area less than 100 square meters can be considered too small. Finally, corresponding agricultural operations are formulated based on the secondary management zones, such as fertilization, irrigation, and pesticide application, including specific operation times, application rates, and application methods.
[0033] In this application, based on the crop varieties, planting methods, and rice cultivation types currently planted in the agricultural area, the agricultural area is divided into primary management zones. Then, based on the primary management zones, the agricultural area is further divided into secondary management zones according to the soil information, ground elevation information, and previous crop varieties of each primary management zone. This two-stage management zoning method can combine more practical factors of the agricultural area, and divide areas with similar factors into one management zone as much as possible. This makes the management zoning of the agricultural area more precise, and farmers can carry out corresponding agricultural operations under this refined management zoning, which can effectively improve the overall production efficiency and benefits of the agricultural area.
[0034] In one embodiment, determining the previous crop variety for each primary management zone includes: determining the target historical time period for each primary management zone based on the currently planted crop variety; and acquiring historical remote sensing images of each primary management zone during the corresponding target historical time period. The target historical time period is selected according to requirements; for example, it could be mid-August to early September of the previous year. Remote sensing images refer to films or photographs that record the electromagnetic wave magnitudes of various ground features. They are mainly divided into aerial photographs and satellite photographs. Furthermore, remote sensing images that can be processed by computers must be digital images, and they can be acquired using remote sensing (RS) technology. Acquiring historical remote sensing images of a primary management zone during the corresponding target historical time period can mean acquiring historical remote sensing images of the primary management zone from mid-August to early September of the previous year using remote sensing technology.
[0035] Then, based on historical remote sensing images, the remote sensing vegetation index of each primary management zone is determined. The vegetation index is an important parameter for crop growth analysis. In the field of remote sensing, the vegetation index is a simple and effective measurement parameter used to characterize the surface vegetation cover and growth status. It is a parameter composed of reflectance factors of different band vegetation-soil systems in a certain form. Its functional relationship with vegetation characteristic parameters is more stable and reliable than that of a single band value. This combination of multi-band reflectance factors is collectively referred to as the vegetation index (or vegetation spectral parameter). Remote sensing vegetation indices include, but are not limited to, NDVI normalized difference vegetation index, NDRE normalized difference red edge vegetation index, and EVI enhanced vegetation index. Among them, the normalized difference vegetation index refers to the quantitative measurement of vegetation growth status by calculating the difference between the near-infrared band and the red band. This index can reflect the health status and growth of vegetation. Its calculation formula (1) is:
[0036] NDVI=(NIR–RED) / (NIR+RED)(1)
[0037] The Normalized Difference Red Edge Vegetation Index (NDRI) is commonly used to monitor crops that have reached maturity. Its calculation formula (2) is as follows:
[0038] NDRE=(NIR–REDEDGE) / (NIR+REDEDGE)(2)
[0039] The enhanced vegetation index is commonly used to analyze regions of Earth with abundant chlorophyll. Since the normalized difference vegetation index is easily affected by soil background and atmospheric interference, the enhanced vegetation index is used to adjust the results of the normalized difference vegetation index in order to reduce these interferences. This index is adapted to atmospheric and soil noise, especially in densely vegetated areas. Its calculation formula (3) is as follows:
[0040] EVI=2.5*((NIR–RED) / ((NIR)+(6*RED)–(7.5*BLUE)+1))(3)
[0041] Wherein, NIR represents the near-infrared reflectance, RED represents the red light reflectance, REDEDGE represents the red-edge reflectance, and BLUE represents the blue light reflectance; all parameter data can be obtained from remote sensing imagery. Based on historical remote sensing imagery of the target for a given period and the above calculation formula, the remote sensing vegetation index for that period can be determined.
[0042] After determining the remote sensing vegetation index, the preceding crop variety for each primary management zone can be identified based on the index. However, because the target range of the remote sensing vegetation index for the same crop type varies across different historical time periods, determining the preceding crop variety for each primary management zone requires: first, determining the actual vegetation index for each primary management zone during the target historical time period; and then, for each primary management zone, identifying the crop variety corresponding to the target range of the actual vegetation index as the preceding crop variety for that zone. Specifically, assuming the current crop is rice, the preceding crops for rice can be determined using the remote sensing vegetation index as winter wheat, rapeseed, and green manure. However, the vegetation index ranges for winter wheat, rapeseed, and green manure differ across different historical time periods throughout the year. Therefore, before calculating the remote sensing vegetation index, it is essential to first determine the target historical time period and the range of vegetation index values for each preceding crop within that period. Specifically, this includes the range of vegetation index values for winter wheat, rapeseed, and green manure within the target historical time period. For example, from November of the previous year to January of the following year, the NDVI value for green manure is approximately 0.3-0.35, for rapeseed it is approximately 0.20-0.25, and for bare land it is approximately 0.2. At this time, the NDVI... 冬小麦 >NDVI 绿肥 >NDVI 油菜 ≥NDVI 裸地 In late March to early April of that year, the NDVI value for winter wheat was approximately 0.65-0.8, for green manure it was approximately 0.65-0.8, for rapeseed it was 0.3-0.6, and for bare soil it was approximately 0.2. 冬小麦 ≈NDVI 绿肥 >NDVI 油菜 >NDVI 裸地Assuming the target historical period is from November of the previous year to January of the following year, the remote sensing vegetation index of each primary zone during this period is calculated. For example, if the NDVI of one primary zone is 0.33, then it can be determined that the previous crop variety for this primary zone was green manure.
[0043] In one embodiment, determining the soil information and ground elevation information of each primary management zone includes: establishing a boundary file for each primary management zone using a Geographic Information System (GIS), and determining the soil information and ground elevation information of each primary management zone based on the boundary file. GIS is a specific and crucial spatial information system that, with the support of computer hardware and software, can collect, store, manage, process, analyze, display, and describe geographic distribution data across the entire or part of the Earth's surface (including the atmosphere). Establishing a boundary file for each primary management zone using a GIS can refer to creating a shapefile boundary file for each primary management zone using GIS. The shapefile boundary file allows for the extraction of soil information and ground elevation information for each primary management zone. The shapefile can be used to describe geometric objects such as points, polylines, and polygons. For example, a shapefile can store the geometric location of spatial objects such as wells, rivers, and lakes. Besides geometric location, the shapefile can also store the attributes of these spatial objects, such as the name of a river or the temperature of a city. The soil information comes from the basic attribute dataset of the China High-Resolution National Soil Information Grid, including data such as organic matter content, cation exchange capacity, total nitrogen content, total phosphorus content, total potassium content, soil texture type, and soil thickness at a 90m resolution.
[0044] Furthermore, to determine the soil information for each primary management zone, soil samples can be manually collected. This involves obtaining soil samples from each zone and measuring their nutrient and physical parameters. The soil sample selection criteria can be determined based on actual needs. In this technical solution, soil parameters can be obtained by collecting soil samples at a density of 1 soil sample / 5 mu (approximately 0.33 hectares) to determine the soil information for each primary management zone. Nutrient parameters include organic matter, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, and soil pH. Physical parameters include bulk density and particle size distribution. After determining the soil parameters, GIS can be used to perform spatial interpolation on each primary management zone to obtain a soil nutrient map of the agricultural area. Simultaneously, drones can be used to determine the ground elevation information for each primary management zone. This involves acquiring 3D point cloud data of the agricultural area collected by the drone, determining the field elevation information based on the 3D point cloud data, and then determining the ground elevation information for each primary management zone based on the field elevation information. The 3D point cloud refers to a dataset of 3D coordinate points arranged in a regular grid. In the absence of drones, ground elevation information for agricultural areas can be constructed using some commercial satellites available online.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between k and the cost function according to an embodiment of this application is presented, including:
[0046] The algorithm uses a pre-defined clustering algorithm to cluster and classify grid data to obtain secondary management zones for agricultural areas. This includes using the k-means algorithm to cluster and classify the grid data to obtain secondary management zones for agricultural areas. The k-means algorithm is an indirect clustering method based on the similarity measure between samples, belonging to unsupervised learning. This algorithm uses k as a parameter to divide n objects into k clusters, ensuring high similarity within clusters and low similarity between clusters. The similarity is calculated based on the average value of objects in a cluster (considered the centroid of the cluster). The algorithm first randomly selects k objects, each representing the centroid of a cluster. For each remaining object, it is assigned to the cluster with the highest similarity based on its distance from the centroids of each cluster. Then, the new centroid of each cluster is calculated, and this process is repeated until the criterion function converges. In this technical solution, the value of k in the k-means algorithm is determined using the elbow rule. The elbow rule is calculated based on the cost function (SSE), which is the sum of the distortion levels of each class. The distortion level of each class is equal to the sum of the squared distances from each variable point to its class center; this function is also known as the squared error function. Regarding the selection of the number of classes, the elbow rule plots the cost function values for different values. As the value increases, the number of samples in each class decreases, thus the samples are closer to their centroid, and the average distortion level decreases. As the value continues to increase, the improvement in the average distortion level continues to decrease. The position corresponding to the largest decrease in the improvement in distortion level during the process of increasing the value is the elbow. Figure 2 As shown, the squared error function decreases rapidly at the beginning, until it begins to level off at the elbow (k=3). Therefore, the value at the elbow can be determined as k=3. The specific calculation formula (4) for the squared error function is as follows:
[0047]
[0048] Among them, C k It is the k-th category, where K is the maximum number of categories (usually around 8-10), and p is C. k The sample points in the data, μ k It is C k The center (C k (mean of all samples)
