[0053] To make the technical problems, solutions, and beneficial effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 A smart water-saving irrigation method for wheat, comprising:

[0055] Step 1: Acquire visible light and hyperspectral images of wheat at various growth stages;

[0056] Step 2: Select any band from the hyperspectral images as the enhanced image;

[0057] Step 3: Fuse the enhanced image and the visible light image to form a fused image;

[0058] Furthermore, step 3 includes:

[0059] Step 3.1: Use non-subsampled contourlet transform to decompose the enhanced image and the visible light image respectively to obtain the enhanced image transform coefficients and the visible light image transform coefficients;

[0060] Step 3.2: Extract the feature map of the enhanced image;

[0061] Step 3.2 includes:

[0062] Step 3.2.1: Construct a window with a point on the enhanced image as the center point;

[0063] Step 3.2.2: Process the pixels within the window using a nonlinear filter, and continuously slide the window to form a feature map of the enhanced image; wherein, the expression formula for the nonlinear filter is:

[0064]

[0065] Where g(i,j) represents the pixel value of the feature map at point (i,j), S(i,j) is the set of pixels within a window centered at point (i,j), f(k,l) represents the pixel value of the enhanced image at point (i,j), w(i,j,k,l) ​​represents the filter weights, and σ d σ represents the standard deviation of the distance. r This represents the standard deviation of pixels.

[0066] The nonlinear filter of this invention takes into account the spatial location and pixel value of pixels when processing images. Based on this, the enhanced image processing can remove noise or background interference, and enhance the biological characteristics of wheat, such as plant texture, shape, and color variations. This has a positive effect on analyzing the health status and maturity of plants.

[0067] Step 3.3: Normalize the feature map of the enhanced image to obtain a normalized feature map;

[0068] In step 3.3, the present invention can complete the normalization process based on the max-min normalization algorithm, and the specific process is as follows:

[0069] Step 3.3.1: Obtain the maximum and minimum values ​​of all pixels in the enhanced image feature map;

[0070] Step 3.3.2: Normalize the feature map based on the maximum and minimum values ​​of the pixels to obtain a normalized feature map; the normalization formula is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] In the formula, S norm (x,y) represents the normalized feature map, SBF (x,y) represents the original feature map, S max S represents the maximum value among all pixels in the feature map. min This represents the minimum value among all pixels in the feature map.

[0073] Step 3.4: Calculate the weight coefficients based on the normalized feature map;

[0074] Furthermore, step 3.4 includes:

[0075] Step 3.4.1: Calculate the information content of each block based on the normalized feature map and the pixel distribution on the visible light image; the formula for calculating the information content is:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, E IR (x,y) represents the amount of information in the visible light image of the block centered at (x,y), E ID (x,y) represents the amount of information in the normalized feature map of the block centered at (x,y), ID(x+i,y+j) represents the pixel value at point (x+i,y+j) in the normalized feature map, IR(x+i,y+j) represents the pixel value at point (x+i,y+j) in the visible light image, and w(i,j) represents the weight matrix.

[0078] Step 3.4.2: Calculate the information weight based on the amount of information in each block;

[0079] In step 3.4.2, the present invention calculates the information weight based on the proportion of information in each block; wherein, the formula for calculating the information weight is:

[0080]

[0081] Where α1(x,y) represents the first information weight and α2(x,y) represents the second information weight.

[0082] Step 3.4.3: Introduce normalized feature maps and obtain weight coefficients based on information content weights. The formula for calculating the weight coefficients is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] Among them, w IR (x,y) represents the first weighting coefficient, w ID (x,y) represents the second weighting coefficient, α1′(x,y)=S norm (x,y)+α1(x,y), α1′(x,y) minLet α1′(x,y) represent the minimum value in α1′(x,y). max Let α1′(x,y) represent the maximum value in α2′(x,y), and α2′(x,y) = 1 - S norm (x,y)+α2(x,y), α2′(x,y) min Let α2′(x,y) represent the minimum value in α2′(x,y). max This represents the maximum value in α2′(x,y).

[0085] Step 3.5: Use the weighting coefficients to weight the enhanced image transformation coefficients and the visible light image transformation coefficients to form a fusion coefficient;

[0086] In step 3.5, the visible light image transformation coefficient and the enhanced image transformation coefficient are weighted and summed based on the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient, respectively, to form a fusion coefficient; wherein the weighted summation formula is:

[0087] IF coef (x,y)=w IR (x,y)IR coef (x,y)+w ID (x,y)ID coef (x,y)

[0088] Among them, IR coef (x,y) represents the transform coefficient corresponding to the point (x,y) in the visible light image, ID coef (x,y) represents the transform coefficient corresponding to the point (x,y) on the enhanced image, IF coef (x,y) represents the fusion coefficient.

[0089] Step 3.6: Perform non-subsampled contour wave inverse transform on the fusion coefficients to obtain the fused image.

[0090] Since each block in the image contains different amounts of information, this invention needs to minimize the influence of background information as much as possible, and use areas with high information content as the areas where the hyperspectral image needs to be fused. This can improve the feature representation ability of the subsequent fused image in the neural network.

[0091] Step 4: Label the water requirement of wheat based on the fused images of wheat at various growth stages to form training samples;

[0092] In practical applications, the humidity values ​​required for each stage of wheat growth can be labeled.

[0093] Step 5: Input the training samples into the neural network for training to obtain the wheat water requirement prediction model;

[0094] In step 5, the training samples need to be divided into training set, validation set and test set. A common ratio is 70% for training, 15% for validation and 15% for testing. Then, they are input into the CNN model for training, and the training effect is evaluated in real time using a loss function. When the value of the loss function falls within the preset range, the training is complete and the wheat water requirement prediction model is obtained.

[0095] Step 6: Evaluate the accuracy of the wheat water requirement prediction model. If the accuracy is not within the preset range, select another band of image from the hyperspectral image as the enhancement image and return to step 3.

[0096] Step 7: When the accuracy is within the preset range, use the wheat water requirement prediction model to calculate the water requirement of wheat in the target wheat field, and irrigate the target wheat field according to the water requirement.

[0097] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the correlation between wheat leaf water content and the hyperspectral acquisition band is parabolic. Therefore, by fusing the hyperspectral image as an enhanced image into the visible light image, the water supply required by wheat at each growth stage can be reflected.

[0098] Visible light images and hyperspectral images provide different types of information. Visible light images can reflect the growth status and health of wheat, while hyperspectral images can provide detailed information about the water content of wheat leaves. Fusing these two types of images can yield more comprehensive features, allowing neural networks to learn features at different levels and scales. This enables them to better capture the subtle differences in the water status changes of wheat at various growth stages. Real-time analysis of this type of fused data can provide timely information support for agricultural management, helping farmers make scientific and rational irrigation decisions and optimize water resource utilization.

[0099] The present invention also provides an electronic device, including a bus, a transceiver, a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. The transceiver, the memory, and the processor are connected via the bus. When the computer program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps in the above-described intelligent water-saving irrigation method for wheat and achieves the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0100] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, characterized in that, when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps in the above-mentioned intelligent water-saving irrigation method for wheat and achieves the same technical effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.

[0101] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
