[0036] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0037] The application provides an automatic intelligent cultivation system for high-value crops, which comprises an environment monitoring module, a crop detection module, a central controller, a regulation and decision module, an execution module, and a system feedback and optimization module.
[0038] The environment monitoring module uses sensors to monitor environmental data in real time, including but not limited to light intensity, temperature and humidity, soil moisture, and carbon dioxide concentration.
[0039] The data processing module performs data preprocessing on the collected environmental data.
[0040] The system feedback and optimization module adjusts the control parameters based on the difference between real-time environmental data and preset target values.

The controller has powerful data processing capabilities and high-speed communication interfaces, can receive data from the environment monitoring module in real time, and coordinate the actions of the execution module according to the instructions of the regulation and decision module. The central controller mainly solves the problem of information integration and coordination between the modules in the system, ensuring that the system can respond quickly to real-time data. It is also responsible for the stability and reliability of the system, through fault detection and self-diagnosis functions, to timely detect and handle abnormal situations in the system.
[0043] The regulation and decision module is based on artificial intelligence algorithms, especially machine learning and data mining techniques, to analyze and process the data collected by the environment monitoring module. The module uses prediction models and whale optimization algorithms to predict the growth needs of crops and environmental trends, and accordingly formulates regulation strategies. The regulation and decision module mainly solves the problem of how to intelligently adjust environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light according to real-time environmental data and the growth state of crops, to optimize the growth environment of crops. It analyzes historical data and current environmental conditions to predict future environmental changes, thereby making regulation decisions in advance and improving the adaptability and efficiency of the system.
[0044] The execution module includes various actuators controlled directly by the central controller.

By calculating the deviations between different environmental variables, the system can promptly fine-tune control parameters to ensure the optimal crop growth environment. Furthermore, the system continuously accumulates historical data and optimizes control strategies through a data feedback mechanism, gradually improving control precision and enhancing the system's adaptability to changing environmental conditions.

Humidity H(t) is adjusted to the optimum humidity H opt Based on the plant growth state F(t) and the target growth state F target If F(t) is higher than F target , then increase the humidity; if F(t) is lower than F target , then reduce the humidity.

[0057] (1) Initialize the whale population, generate multiple random solutions and evaluate the fitness value of each solution as the starting point of the optimization process. These solutions are randomly initialized in the search space, and the fitness of each solution is evaluated by the objective function.

[0060] (2) Using chain foraging behavior, the global optimal solution is used to guide all whales to move towards the solution in each iteration step. In each iteration, each member of the whale group will move according to the current optimal solution. Update your own position. The optimal solution is the optimal target growth state. The position update formula is adjusted according to the behavior patterns simulated by whales, including chain foraging behavior, spiral foraging behavior, and rolling foraging behavior. The general formula for position update is chain foraging position update formula is:
[0061]
[0062] Where a is the convergence factor, which decreases gradually as the iteration proceeds. The chain foraging behavior enables each whale to search near the global optimal solution, gradually approaching the optimal solution.
[0063] (3) When the optimal solution is found, a spiral approach is used to simulate the way whales approach food through rotational motion, further optimizing the quality of the solution. If the optimal solution is not found, a rolling foraging method is used to enhance the diversity of the search and avoid being trapped in a local optimal solution.

[0067]
[0068] where w is the inertia weight, which determines the movement inertia of the whale, and is usually set between [0, 1]; is the speed of the i-th whale in the t-th generation, c1 and c2 are acceleration constants, respectively controlling the influence weight of the individual optimal solution and the global optimal solution, r1 and r2 are random numbers, respectively randomly generated in the interval [0, 1], and are used to introduce randomness, is the individual optimal solution of the i-th whale in the t-th generation, and is the current global optimal solution.
[0069] (5) taking plant height, stem diameter and leaf area as input, and crop temperature and humidity growth environment as output, the optimal sugar content and protein of the plant, i.e. the optimal plant, is obtained, and it is judged whether the stopping condition is met or not, the stopping condition is whether the output three times proportion is the same value or not, if yes, the loop is exited, otherwise, steps (1) to (4) are repeatedly executed until the loop is exited, and finally the optimal plant state is output.
