Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of image processing, and in particular to a method and system for diagnosing nutrient stress of fruit trees. Background Art

[0002] Traditional diagnostic methods for nutrient stress in plants rely primarily on visual observation and sampling and testing. Observation is primarily based on specific visible symptoms of nutrient stress in plants. This method requires extensive experience, is relatively slow to successfully determine, and can lead to significant errors when multiple stresses occur simultaneously. Sampling and testing involves laboratory testing of nutrient content and concentration in samples from various organs of fruit trees within an orchard. While this method is accurate, it is cumbersome and laborious, making it difficult to achieve accurate diagnosis on a large scale.

[0003] In recent years, the availability of instruments and equipment to assist in measuring nutrient stress in vegetation has increased significantly. For orchards, soil nutrient sensor equipment is the most widely used, while methods for measuring nutrients in aboveground parts such as leaves and canopies primarily rely on spectral-based nutrient stress diagnosis. Nutrient stress in vegetation can cause changes in leaf color, thickness, and even morphology, which in turn influence changes in corresponding spectral characteristics. Therefore, collecting spectral data from leaves or canopies can effectively assess nutrient stress. However, current research is mostly conducted at a time point, often considering nutrients in leaves, roots, and soil separately. However, fruit trees are perennial plants, and nutrient transfer and accumulation is a long-term process. To achieve efficient nutrient stress diagnosis and thus accurately guide variable-rate fertilization, we need to comprehensively consider changes in various organs throughout the fruit tree's life cycle to make the most accurate assessment.

[0004] Currently, modern information technologies such as remote sensing networks, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence have been deeply applied to all aspects of agricultural production. However, the informatization of fruit production still lacks a multi-scale, coordinated observation system for fruit trees and the orchard growth environment. This results in a lack of three-dimensional information support for fruit tree nutrient stress and even production management. Orchard stress diagnosis and decision-making are mainly based on experience, resulting in insufficient timeliness of orchard nutrient stress diagnosis and unstable decision-making reliability. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a three-dimensional dynamic observation system for fruit tree phenotypic information and, based on this, to construct a spatiotemporal dynamic diagnosis method system for orchard nutrient stress. This system can achieve comprehensive multi-factor analysis while providing timely and effective information on orchard stress, improve China's orchard management level, and ultimately enhance the quality and yield of Chinese fruits. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for diagnosing nutrient stress of fruit trees, which can realize reverse diagnosis of nutrient stress of fruit trees.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0007] A method for diagnosing nutrient stress in fruit trees, comprising:

[0008] Acquire images of individual fruit trees and orchard canopy during the key fertilization period of the orchard's annual growth period, and obtain a time-series RGB image set and a hyperspectral image set;

[0009] Using a ground platform, RGB images of individual fruit trees during the budding and flowering stages are acquired. A target detection network, integrating a convolutional neural network with an attention mechanism module, is used to determine the number of flower buds and leaf buds on a single fruit tree during the budding stage, as well as the number of flowers during the flowering stage.

[0010] The leaf-to-fruit ratio and flower-to-fruit ratio are obtained based on the number of flower buds and leaf buds of a single fruit tree. The fruit yield of a single fruit tree is estimated based on the leaf-to-fruit ratio and flower-to-fruit ratio. At the same time, the single-element fertilizer requirement of a single fruit tree under the expected yield is determined, and then the standard single-element fertilizer dosage for each fruit tree at each stage is determined.

[0011] Using drone RGB and drone hyperspectral images of budding, flowering, the early and late stages of fruit expansion, and post-harvest throughout the orchard's annual growth period, a neural network is used to determine fruit tree phenotypic information based on multi-feature fusion.

[0018] Based on the expected yield of single-element fertilizer requirements for a single fruit tree, the six fertilization periods (budding period, flowering period, fruit expansion period, before harvest, after harvest, and before freezing) were divided according to the proportion of each single fertilizer, and the division results were obtained.

[0019] The division results will be used as the standard amount of single-element fertilizer for each period.

The system uses stereoscopic images with time series features to diagnose nutrient stress in fruit trees. Compared with relying solely on time point data for diagnosis, it can integrate reliable information about the annual growth cycle of fruit trees, and can provide a scientific basis for timely regulation and precise variable fertilization in actual production.
