Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of smart agriculture, and in particular to a strawberry fruit weight monitoring system based on machine learning. Background Art

[0002] Global strawberry cultivation is expanding, but a lack of accurate weight monitoring and yield estimation methods leads to significant losses during harvesting, storage, and transportation. Frequent disease outbreaks have led to increased pesticide use, raising costs and creating food safety concerns. While machine learning and IoT technologies have demonstrated significant success in other industries with the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence, they are underappreciated in strawberry fruit weight monitoring.

[0003] Traditional strawberry fruit weight monitoring relies heavily on manual picking and weighing, which is inefficient, has high lags, and makes it difficult to obtain real-time data. Contact sensors can easily damage the fruit, are susceptible to significant environmental interference, and produce unstable data, making them unable to meet the precision management needs of modern agriculture. Precision agriculture and artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly being applied in agriculture. Precision agriculture enables precise monitoring of plant growth and timely identification of problems. A machine learning-based strawberry fruit weight monitoring system can accurately determine strawberry weight without damaging the fruit, reducing labor costs and subjective judgment errors, and contributing to the scientific and intelligent development of strawberry cultivation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that traditional strawberry fruit weight monitoring cannot accurately measure the weight of strawberries in real time and calculate the growth curve of strawberry fruits. A strawberry fruit weight monitoring system based on machine learning is proposed. The image sensing module cooperates with the LED module to obtain the strawberry fruit image and real scale, and the wireless communication module 1 transmits the image to the cloud. Then, the image segmentation and volume calculation module, the mass calculation and intelligent judgment module in the cloud are used to analyze the growth trend of the strawberry fruit. Finally, the results are summarized in the user terminal module to realize visual monitoring.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of the present invention is as follows: the machine learning-based strawberry fruit weight monitoring system includes an image sensing module, an LED module, a wireless communication module, a cloud management module and a user terminal module; the cloud management module includes the processes of data reception, image segmentation, volume and mass calculation, analysis and result output.

[0006] Furthermore, the LED module forms optical reference points with a fixed spacing in the strawberry image through two LED light sources at a fixed distance, providing an accurate real-world scale benchmark for subsequent image analysis.

[0007] Furthermore, the image sensing module uses a high-resolution camera to shoot strawberry fruits from multiple angles at fixed time intervals, obtains strawberry image data including LED scale in real time, and quickly transmits it to the cloud management module via wireless communication 1.

[0008] Furthermore, the cloud management module first receives data, obtains multiple frames of strawberry images and LED scale reference information from the image sensing module, and establishes a dynamic image data set.

[0009] Furthermore, the cloud management module performs image segmentation, uses a deep learning semantic segmentation algorithm, and combines it with the real-world size benchmark of the LED scale to accurately extract the outline of the strawberry fruit from the image and calibrate it to the actual physical size.

[0010] Furthermore, the cloud management module performs feature extraction and generates a multidimensional feature vector by calculating geometric features such as the area, perimeter, and compactness of the strawberry fruit contour.

[0011] Furthermore, the cloud management module performs volume calculation, adopts a multi-level three-dimensional modeling algorithm, converts the strawberry fruit contour data into a three-dimensional model and calculates volume parameters.

[0012] Furthermore, the cloud management module trains a regression model based on historical volume and quality data, inputs the real-time volume calculation results into the trained model, outputs the strawberry quality prediction value, and dynamically optimizes the model parameters according to actual conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, the cloud management module performs intelligent judgment, inputs data such as volume change rate and mass growth curve into a pre-trained machine learning model, judges the growth stage and health status of the strawberry fruit by comparing historical data with health standards, and sends the analysis results to the user terminal module.

[0014] Furthermore, the user terminal module can be any digital device with data processing capabilities, such as a mobile phone, a host or a tablet computer, etc. The user terminal module receives and visualizes the analysis results of the cloud management module and displays them to the user in the form of growth curves, health scores, etc.

[0015] Furthermore, the user interaction module receives analysis results sent by the cloud management module and displays the strawberry fruit growth curve, quality change trend, and health status through a graphical interface. It supports user-defined growth parameter thresholds and accepts cultivation measure records manually entered by the user.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The machine learning-based strawberry fruit weight monitoring system in the present invention provides a precise real-world scale benchmark through the LED module, avoiding data deviation caused by manual calibration errors in traditional measurements and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of strawberry morphological data collection. 2.

Compared with a single algorithm, it significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of measurement. 3. The present invention provides a machine learning-based strawberry fruit weight monitoring system. The user interaction module presents strawberry growth trends and quality changes in visual charts and curves, supports user-defined thresholds, and greatly facilitates real-time monitoring of strawberry growth conditions. 4.

Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments made by those skilled in the art without making creative work should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. At present, the global strawberry planting area continues to expand. The traditional manual monitoring method has problems such as low efficiency, large error, and delayed response, and excessive use of water and fertilizer is prone to soil degradation and environmental pollution. To this end, we have designed a strawberry fruit weight monitoring system based on machine learning to achieve high-precision real-time monitoring of strawberry fruit weight, effectively improve the intelligent management level of strawberry planting, reduce resource waste and reduce disease prevention and control costs.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the cloud management module performs volume calculation, divides the strawberry fruit into multiple layers along the vertical central axis, calculates the microelement volume through the area of each layer and the distance between layers, and accumulates the total volume of the fruit.
