[0018] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0019] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0020] Example 1, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for rapid and non-destructive detection of seed quality based on near infrared spectroscopy technology, comprising the following steps: S1, using the deep learning model to perform image recognition on the seeds to be tested, determine the seed type and automatically adjust the spectrometer parameters, including the following steps, A high-resolution digital camera is used to capture images of seed samples in a sample tray; the captured images are grayscaled, denoised, and edge detected; an image segmentation algorithm is used to separate the processed seed images from the background; a convolutional neural network is used to identify the segmented seed images and determine the seed type; and the light source intensity and wavelength range parameters of the spectrometer are automatically adjusted according to the identified seed type.
[0021] Specifically, the specific method of image segmentation is to use the Otsu algorithm to automatically determine the optimal threshold to separate the seed area from the background area. The core idea of the Otsu algorithm is to maximize the inter-class variance, that is, to maximize the variance between the foreground (seed) and the background. The specific steps are as follows: Count the number of pixels at each gray level in the image to form a histogram; Calculate the cumulative probability and between-class variance for each gray level; The expression of the cumulative probability of gray level is: , ;in, Indicates grayscale level and the following cumulative probabilities, i.e., the cumulative probabilities of the foreground (seeds), Indicates grayscale level The number of pixels, Represents the total number of pixels in the image, which is used to normalize the cumulative probability. represents the gray level index, represents the gray level currently considered, Indicates grayscale level The cumulative probability above is the cumulative probability of the background.

The quality of the segmentation results was evaluated using quantitative metrics such as precision, recall, and F1 score.
[0023] Specifically, the parameter adjustment method is to use a pre-established mapping table between seed types and spectral parameters to find the corresponding light source intensity and wavelength range. The reason for choosing this method is that it can dynamically adjust parameters according to the seed type and improve the quality of spectral data.
[0024] S2, spectral data include moisture content, starch content, fat content and amino acid content of seeds; preprocessing includes moving average, baseline correction, normalization, standard normal variable transformation and detrending processing.
[0025] Specifically, moving average refers to selecting a window length and performing moving average processing on each spectral data point to smooth the spectral data and reduce noise; baseline correction refers to eliminating baseline drift in spectral data by minimizing the original spectral data; normalization refers to using the minimum-maximum normalization method to normalize the spectral data to the same scale to eliminate the influence of dimension; standard normal variable transformation refers to performing a standard normal variable transformation on each spectral data point, which can eliminate the multiple scattering effect in the spectral data and improve the consistency and stability of the spectral data; detrending refers to fitting a linear trend through the least squares method and then subtracting the trend from the spectral data, which can eliminate the linear trend in the spectral data and improve the stability of the spectral data.
[0026] S3, obtaining the internal structure image and density information of the seeds and combining them with the spectral data to form a multimodal data set includes the following steps: Use standard samples to calibrate the X-ray imaging equipment and ultrasonic detection equipment; start the calibrated X-ray imaging equipment to collect the internal structure image of the seeds; start the ultrasonic detection equipment to collect the internal density of the seeds; number the preprocessed spectral data, internal structure image data and internal density data respectively, and match them according to the sample number; create a data table containing the sample number, near-infrared spectral data, X-ray imaging data and ultrasonic detection data; use the sample number as the key to merge the three types of data into the same row to form a multimodal data set and insert it into the data table.
[0027] S4, constructing a seed vitality prediction model, predicting the seed germination rate includes the following steps: Select representative seed samples, use high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence the genome of the seeds and obtain the whole genome sequence; use bioinformatics tools to annotate the sequencing data and identify genes related to germination; extract RNA from seeds at different germination stages; use high-throughput sequencing technology to determine the expression of genes during the germination process and obtain transcriptome data; use bioinformatics tools to process the high-throughput sequencing data and quantitatively analyze the changes in gene expression at different time points; apply statistical methods to identify genes that are significantly upregulated and downregulated during the germination process; select biomarkers that are strongly correlated with germination rate from the differentially expressed genes; fuse the selected biomarkers with near-infrared spectroscopy data, X-ray imaging data, and ultrasonic detection data to form a comprehensive data set, and assign a unique number to each sample; use feature selection algorithms to further screen out the features that have the greatest impact on germination rate and predict the germination rate of seeds, the expression is: ;in, represents the predicted germination rate of seeds, Indicates The comprehensive characteristic value, represents the average value of the comprehensive eigenvector, represents the standard deviation of the comprehensive eigenvector, represents the weight parameter, represents the bias term, Represents the index variable used to identify each comprehensive feature in the comprehensive feature vector.
[0028] Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing technology is used to analyze RNA molecules in cells, which can provide information about gene expression, transcript structure and RNA variation.

[0031] Furthermore, the relative difference between each content and the standard seed is expressed as: ;in, Indicates The relative difference of the content index is Indicates the test seed Content index, Indicates the standard seed A content indicator.
[0032] The expressions for multiple quality levels of the seed are: ;in, Indicates the quality level of the seed. Indicates the largest relative difference among all indicators. Indicates The weight of each content indicator, Indicates the number of content indicators, represents the value of the growth trend classification, represents the weight of the growth trend classification; Quality Level The value range is 1 to 5, representing different quality levels.

[0036] In summary, the present invention: uses a deep learning model to perform image recognition on the seeds to be tested, determines the seed type and automatically adjusts the spectrometer parameters, thereby ensuring that the collected spectral data is more accurate and reliable; collects near-infrared spectral data of seeds, and obtains the internal structure and density information of seeds through X-ray imaging equipment and ultrasonic detection equipment to form a multimodal data set, thereby improving the richness of data and the predictive ability of the model; constructs a seed vigor prediction model, uses machine learning algorithms such as random forests to predict the germination rate of seeds, and judges the growth trend of seeds based on the prediction results, thereby achieving a comprehensive evaluation of seed quality; and grades seeds according to their growth trends, thereby providing a scientific basis for seed screening and planting management.
[0037] Example 2, referring to Table 1, is the second example of the present invention. To further verify the technical solution of the present invention, experimental simulation data of a method for rapid and nondestructive detection of seed quality based on near-infrared spectroscopy technology are provided.
[0038] The experiment selected seeds of three common crops, corn, soybean and wheat, as research objects, aiming to demonstrate the superiority of the present invention by comparing the results of the experimental group with those of the control group. The experiment first prepared necessary instruments and software tools such as a high-resolution digital camera, a near-infrared spectrometer, an X-ray imaging device, an ultrasonic detection device and a random forest model. In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the experiment, all equipment was strictly calibrated before use.
[0039] At the beginning of the experiment, a high-resolution digital camera was used to capture images of the seeds to be tested placed in the sample tray. Subsequently, a series of preprocessing operations such as grayscale, denoising and edge detection were performed on the collected original images to improve the quality of the image. Next, an image segmentation algorithm was used to separate the processed seed image from the background in order to more accurately identify the seed type. The segmented image was deeply learned through a convolutional neural network, and the specific type of seed was successfully identified. Based on this, the light source intensity and wavelength range parameters of the near-infrared spectrometer were automatically adjusted to adapt to different types of seeds.
[0040] After adjusting the parameters, the spectral data of the seeds were collected using a near-infrared spectrometer, and a number of preprocessing measures including moving average, baseline correction, and normalization were performed to eliminate the influence of external factors on the data. At the same time, the internal structure images and density information of the seeds were obtained through X-ray imaging equipment and ultrasonic testing equipment, respectively, further enriching the information dimension of the seeds. After preprocessing, these data were accurately matched with the spectral data according to the sample number to form a multimodal data set containing multiple information.
[0041] In the process of building a seed vigor prediction model, the experimental team first calculated the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the spectral data, and selected the first few most important eigenvectors to form the principal component matrix. In addition, convolutional neural networks were used to extract structural features from X-ray images, and support vector machines were used to map the density data detected by ultrasound to a higher-dimensional space. The above three features were fused into a comprehensive feature vector through the feature splicing method. On this basis, a large number of seed samples with known germination rates were collected as training sets and trained using a random forest model. Finally, the comprehensive feature vector was input into the trained model to achieve accurate prediction of seed germination rates.
[0042] According to the predicted germination rate, the growth trend of seeds is divided into three levels: high, medium and low. In addition, the experiment also classifies seeds in detail based on their growth trend and the relative difference of various contents, thus providing scientific guidance for agricultural production.
[0043] The details are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Experimental data record table Sample No. Experimental corn Soybean Wheat Corn Control group soybean Wheat Germination rate (%) 89.2 78.5 91.4 75.3 62.4 79.8 Moisture content (%) 13.2 10.5 12.1 15.8 14.2 14.5 Starch content (%) 68.4 57.8 69.2 61.5 52.3 60.1 Fat content (%) 3.8 21.5 2.2 4.1 18.3 2.5 Amino acid content (%) 10.5 8.9 13.4 9.2 7.6 11.2 Internal density (g / cm³) 0.68 0.65 0.71 0.62 0.59 0.66 From the table above, we can see that there are significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in many key indicators such as seed germination rate, moisture content, starch content, fat content, amino acid content and internal density. The germination rates of corn, soybean and wheat in the experimental group were 89.2%, 78.5% and 91.4%, respectively, which were significantly higher than 75.3%, 62.4% and 79.8% in the control group. This result shows that the method of the present invention can more accurately predict the germination ability of seeds, which helps to screen high-quality seeds for planting and improve the efficiency and yield of agricultural production.
[0044] Moisture content: The moisture content of the experimental group is generally lower than that of the control group. For example, the moisture content of corn is 13.2%, while that of the control group is 15.8%. Lower moisture content means that the seeds are better stored and less susceptible to microorganisms such as mold, which prolongs the service life of the seeds.
[0045] Starch content: The starch content of the experimental group is generally higher, such as the starch content of wheat reaching 69.2%, much higher than the 60.1% of the control group. Starch is one of the important sources of energy for plant growth, and a higher starch content is beneficial to promoting seed germination and seedling growth.
[0046] Fat content: Although fat content is not as important as water and starch for seeds, the fat content of the experimental group also showed certain advantages. For example, the fat content of soybeans reached 21.5%, 3.2 percentage points higher than that of the control group. The increase in fat content not only helps to increase the energy density of seeds, but also enhances the cold resistance of seeds, making them more suitable for sowing in cold regions.
[0047] The amino acid content of the experimental group was also significantly higher than that of the control group. For example, the amino acid content of wheat was 13.4%, while that of the control group was only 11.2%. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of protein and are essential for seed development. A higher amino acid content can promote the normal development of seeds and improve the quality of crops.
[0048] Internal density: The internal density of the seeds in the experimental group is generally higher than that in the control group. For example, the internal density of corn is 0.68g / cm³, while that of the control group is 0.62g / cm³. A higher internal density means that the seed structure is more compact, which reduces the chance of invasion by pests and diseases, and is also conducive to the stable growth of seeds in the soil.
[0049] In summary, the method of rapid non-destructive detection of seed quality based on near-infrared spectroscopy technology can not only effectively predict the germination rate of seeds, but also comprehensively evaluate the intrinsic quality of seeds, providing important technical support for agricultural production. Compared with traditional methods, the present invention not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of detection, but also realizes non-destructive detection of seeds, avoiding the waste of resources caused by destructive detection.
[0050] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
