Through unified management of plots and unified measurement of field indicators, the cost invested by agricultural entities in detection machinery is reduced, and the technical problem that the field track robots existing in the prior art are mostly integrated designs and have relatively single functions is solved.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, the front of the vehicle 1 includes a housing 11, a processor, a radar detection element, a driver, a transmission assembly and a roller assembly 12. The housing 11 can be a rocket-shaped structure and is hollow inside. The radar detection element is installed at the front end of the housing 11, and is used to measure the front obstacles in real time to avoid collisions during driving. The processor, the driver and the transmission assembly are all installed in the housing 11. The roller assembly 12 is located at the side end of the housing 11.

The camera 41 is connected to the pole 42 through a slide rail structure 43, and the slide rail structure 43 can push the camera 41 to do lifting and lowering movements. When low-angle agricultural monitoring is performed, the pole 42 is first installed on the vehicle body 2, and then the low-angle high-definition camera is connected to the pole 42 through the slide rail structure 43. The height of the low-angle high-definition camera on the pole 42 is adjusted by the remote control device, and then the image recognition range of the camera 41 is determined. Finally, the remote control device starts the driver, and the vehicle body 2 and the multi-dimensional monitoring camera device 4 are moved in the field through the vehicle head 1 to accurately identify and measure the growth indicators of rice such as plant height, leaf length, leaf width, and tiller number. At the same time, it can also monitor the growth status, pests and diseases, nutritional status, etc. of rice. The growth status of the plant is combined with the planting time to establish a rice growth model to reflect the growth status of rice in the field. It also provides growth information and operation suggestions for farmers. By continuously monitoring the changes in crop phenotypes, abnormal conditions in the crop growth process can be discovered in time, providing a basis for precision agricultural management.

The front of the vehicle 1 drives the canopy analysis equipment 5 to move in the field. The start and stop of the front of the vehicle 1 is controlled by a remote control device, and it stops at the target point for 2-3 seconds. The canopy analyzer 51 scans the image of the crop growth in the area. Through visible / near-infrared light reflectance spectroscopy technology and multi-channel spectral information scanning technology, it can automatically measure and analyze the surface parameters of plants such as wheat and rice, plant canopy information, plant nutrient information, soil nutrient information, environmental parameters, and the degree of plant diseases and insect pests.
