Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of agricultural automation and informatization, and in particular to a rice high-throughput phenotyping group platform device based on dual-mode fusion and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The acquisition and analysis of rice plant growth information is an important part of my country's modern rice breeding system and functional genomics research, and is also the key technology for rice breeding and functional gene research. The measurement and quantitative analysis of various phenotypic growth information of rice plants throughout their growth period is a direct manifestation of rice growth and development, physiological research, genetic variation and other life processes, and is also a direct manifestation of digital agriculture.

[0003] In recent years, the contradiction between traditional crop phenotyping methods and accelerated breeding has become increasingly prominent, and with the rapid development and application of computers and phenomics, the research on automated plant phenotyping technology has also developed rapidly at home and abroad. The image acquisition system TraitMill was first designed and developed by CropDesign in Belgium, applying optical measurement technology to the measurement of plant phenotypes; Lemna Tec in Germany used three-dimensional imaging technology to design and build a "fully automatic high-throughput plant 3D imaging system" that can perform high-efficiency, high-throughput, and automated fine phenotypic analysis of plants. In recent years, there has been some development in the domestic automated analysis and measurement system of plant phenotypes. In 2013, my country introduced Lemna Tec's plant phenotyping detection platform for the first time and settled it in Langfang. In 2015, the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences developed Crop 3D, a high-throughput crop phenotyping platform based on lidar technology, to provide data support for phenomics research. In 2017, the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences built a plant phenomics analysis platform (PPAP), which integrates multiple imaging units and can be applied to crop breeding and stress research.

[0004] The above existing technologies are limited to the research directions of each research institution, with a single detection mode, supporting only one mode of in-situ canopy scanning of plants or side view image scanning of single pots. The design architecture is not compatible with complete field plots and high-throughput automated acquisition in darkrooms, and it is not possible to achieve multi-scale image acquisition of plants, which is not conducive to the comprehensive and accurate phenotypic trait acquisition of plants. When the above existing technologies are used for regular detection, only phenotypic parameters at fixed time points can be obtained, resulting in the loss of key phenotypic trait parameters in the key growth period of some plants.

The rice high-throughput phenotyping platform device based on dual-mode fusion according to claim 4, characterized in that: The bracket adopts an internal hollow design, and two inward-facing, parallel side protrusions are provided on the inner side of the bracket, so that it can just accommodate the iron bracket used to carry a whole row of potted plants; the interval width between the two side protrusions is slightly larger than the width of the chain conveyor line, so that when the lifting and transfer module transfers the bracket from the planting area to the top of the chain conveyor line and then lowers it, the bracket can be put on the chain conveyor line, so that the iron bracket and the potted plants are lifted up by the chain conveyor line, thereby completing the transfer of the plants from the planting area to the chain conveyor line; when the lifting mechanism drives the bracket to perform a lifting operation at the chain conveyor line position, the side protrusions on the inner side of the bracket lift the iron bracket and the potted plants, completing the removal and transfer of the plants from the chain conveyor line.

6. A method for using a rice high-throughput phenotyping platform based on dual-mode fusion, which uses the rice high-throughput phenotyping platform device based on dual-mode fusion as described in any one of claims 1 to 5 for data collection, characterized in that: The use method includes a track-type acquisition mode, an assembly line acquisition mode and a fully automatic acquisition mode; Among them, the specific steps of the orbital acquisition mode are as follows: Step 1A, the user sets the coordinates of the target cell to be measured; Step 1B, the mobile car starts the automatic positioning function, first automatically moves on the Y-axis track to retrieve the Y-direction coordinate, and then automatically moves on the X-axis track to retrieve the X-direction coordinate, and adjusts the camera position and field of view by adjusting the z-axis lifting structure to determine the coverage of the target cell; Step 1C, turning on the sensor module to collect an in-situ top view image of the plant; Step 1D, data storage, processing, display and upload of the collected images.

7. The method for using the rice high-throughput phenotyping platform based on dual-mode fusion according to claim 6, characterized in that: The specific steps of pipeline acquisition mode are as follows: Step 2A, the user sets the coordinates of the target row to be measured; Step 2B, the mobile car starts the automatic positioning function, automatically moves on the X-axis track to retrieve the coordinates, determines the target row, and completes the positioning; Step 2C, start the lifting and transporting module through the wireless control terminal, transport the bracket to the chain conveyor line, and the whole row of plants enters the assembly line circulation; Step 2D, controlling the chain conveyor line and the roller conveyor line through the computer system to send the potted plants into the collection darkroom, and remotely controlling the image collection; Step 2E, after the collection is completed, the potted plants are transported back to the chain conveyor line through the roller conveyor line, and the entire row of plants is reset to the original position in the planting area through the lifting and transfer module; Step 2F, store, process, display and upload the collected images.
