TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of soil detection, in particular to a soil sampling device and method for soil organic carbon detection. BACKGROUND
[0002] The soil sampling device for soil organic carbon detection is a tool or equipment specially designed for collecting soil samples for organic carbon content detection. The main function of the device is to collect soil samples with representativeness and accuracy for subsequent accurate detection of organic carbon content. Through the collected soil samples, the organic carbon content in the soil can be analyzed, and the quality and fertility of the soil can be evaluated, thereby providing important data support for agricultural management, environmental monitoring and soil scientific research.
[0003] The document with the prior art publication number CN119334690A provides a soil sampling device for soil organic carbon detection, which comprises a protective shell. A hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the middle end inside the protective shell. The cooperation of the foot pedal mechanism and the linkage enables the linkage to link the foot pedal mechanism and the moving mechanism, thereby ensuring the portable movement and stable fixation of the device. An operator steps on the foot pedal, and the sliding plate connected by the spring slides on the protective shell. The sliding block at the bottom surface of the sliding plate slides in the sliding groove on the outer surface of the protective shell, ensuring stable movement of the sliding plate. The U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the top surface of the sliding plate drives the connecting rod to move, and the connecting rod drives the rotating rod to rotate around the rotating shaft. Since the two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to one side of the guide rail through the support, the lifting rod movably connected to one end of the rotating rod slides upward in the guide rail, and the connecting column at the bottom surface of the lifting rod drives the base and the universal wheel fixedly connected to the bottom surface to rise.
[0004] Although the prior art solution in the above can achieve the beneficial effects related to the prior art, it still has the following defects: 1. The prior art lacks effective sealing design during soil organic carbon sampling, and the sample is easy to contact with the outside world, which leads to easy volatilization or contamination of organic carbon, and it is difficult to guarantee the original state of the sample before detection. 2. The replacement and sealing of the sampling cylinder in the prior art require manual intervention, which leads to a long sampling period for a single group of samples, and cannot meet the batch sampling demand of a large area. 3. The prior art lacks the functions of pre-detection of underground foreign objects and dynamic adjustment of the path, and the equipment is easy to collide with underground foreign objects and be damaged during sampling, resulting in high equipment failure rate and a lot of invalid work.
[0005] In view of this, we propose a soil sampling device and method for soil organic carbon detection. SUMMARY

[0114] Further, the image analysis module analyzes and identifies the collected images, and identifies abnormal conditions in the soil sampling process in time; including the following steps:
[0115] 1. Image preprocessing: the original images collected by different cameras are uniformly preprocessed to eliminate interference factors: including format standardization, noise filtering and region of interest (ROI) cropping.
[0116] Format standardization: convert all images to RGB format, unify frame rate, keep key frames for static images, and take five key frames per second for dynamic video.
[0117] Noise filtering: for uneven brightness caused by outdoor strong light / shadow, use adaptive histogram equalization algorithm to enhance contrast; for blurring caused by camera shaking, use non-local mean denoising algorithm to repair; for macro images of sample camera, use Gaussian filter to remove sensor noise and highlight soil texture details.
[0118] Region of interest (ROI) cropping: automatically crop the sampling cylinder blade (ROI area is the lower 1 / 3 part of the sampling cylinder), rubber plug and other parts;
[0119] 2. Multi-dimensional feature extraction: for different monitoring targets, extract exclusive feature parameters to provide data support for subsequent identification:
[0120] 2.1. Device state feature extraction:
[0121] 2.1.1. Sampling cylinder integrity: use Canny operator to extract the sampling cylinder blade contour, calculate the contour continuity, and if there is a break, mark it as "blade damage feature";
[0122] Deformation analysis, through Hough transform to detect the central axis of the sampling cylinder, and compare with the standard template, if the bending degree is > 3°, mark it as "cylinder deformation feature".
[0123] 2.1.2. Connection and sealing components:
[0124] Square slot-square column fit: extract the image of square column inserted into square slot, calculate the gap uniformity, normal gap difference ≤0.1mm, if local gap >0.3mm, mark it as connection loose feature;
[0125] Rubber plug position: Threshold segmentation of the plug area by color, calculate the deviation of its center from the sampling cylinder axis, normal ≤1mm, deviation >2mm is marked as "plug misalignment feature".
[0126] 2.1.3, caster and walking parts: Optical flow analysis is performed on consecutive frame images to calculate the caster rotation speed. If the speed is 0 and the machine body has displacement, it is marked as a caster jam feature.
[0127] 2.2, sample state feature extraction:
[0128] 2.2.1, soil filling integrity:
[0129] Volume calculation: Through the sample camera image, use binocular vision algorithm to reconstruct the three-dimensional model of the soil in the sampling cylinder, calculate the filling rate, normal should be ≥85%, <60% is marked as insufficient sample amount feature;
[0130] Impurity identification: Use color clustering and shape analysis, impurities are mostly irregular polygons, count the impurity ratio, normal ≤5%, >10% is marked as impurity exceeding standard feature.
[0131] 2.2.2, soil layering integrity: Extract the internal layering lines of the soil, calculate the number of line breaks, too many are marked as layering damage features caused by sampling cylinder jam or foreign matter interference.
[0132] 2.3, environmental interference feature extraction:
[0133] External obstacles: Use YOLOv8 model to identify pedestrians, animals, large stones in macro images, marked as "external interference feature";
[0134] Vegetation interference: Use U-Net model to segment the vegetation area in the image, if the vegetation covers the sampling point center 30cm range and the height >10cm, mark it as a vegetation obstruction feature.
[0135] 3, accurate identification of abnormal types: Based on the trained deep learning model, classify and identify the extracted features, output the abnormal type and confidence:
[0136] The model architecture uses a dual-branch fusion model; one branch processes static features (such as shape, color) using a CNN network (ResNet50); the other branch processes dynamic features using an LSTM network; finally, the results are fused through an attention mechanism to improve recognition accuracy.
[0137] Abnormal type identification:
[0138] Device abnormalities (such as blade cracking, plug misalignment, caster jam): The model outputs the specific components and the degree of abnormality.
[0139] Sample abnormalities (e.g. excessive impurities, layer damage): output abnormal indicators;
[0140] Environmental abnormalities (e.g. pedestrians approaching, vegetation blocking): output interference sources and distances.
[0141] 4. Time series dynamic comparison: predict potential abnormal trends; through the analysis of feature changes in consecutive multiple images, predict potential abnormalities that have not yet occurred but may occur:
[0142] Trend calculation:
[0143] Blade wear: continuously calculate the missing area of the blade profile, if it increases from 5% to 20% (speed > 5% / 10 seconds), predict "possible serious collapse within one minute";
[0144] Soil adhesion: count the pixel ratio of soil adhesion on the outer wall of the sampling cylinder, if it increases from 10% to 30% (speed > 10% / 10 seconds), predict "risk of sampling cylinder blockage increases";
[0145] Wheel slip: calculate the ratio of wheel rotation angle to body displacement, if the ratio of three consecutive frames is <0.5, predict "wheel is about to sink into soft soil".
[0146] Threshold triggering: when the trend value exceeds the preset threshold, generate a potential abnormality warning.
[0147] 5. Abnormal classification and decision output: according to the severity of the abnormality, the results are divided into three levels, and the corresponding processing instructions are output:
[0148] First-level abnormality: does not affect core sampling; sends "prompt information" to the control center, does not interrupt the sampling process.
[0149] Second-level abnormality: affects sample quality or light damage to equipment; send warning information, control center suspends current sampling, starts correction program.
[0150] Third-level abnormality: may cause equipment damage or sample completely invalid; send "emergency alert", control center triggers alarm module, and starts emergency program.
[0151] 6: Data feedback: bind the abnormality recognition result with the corresponding sampling point ID and store it in the database for subsequent traceability analysis.
[0152] In this technical solution, through the dual mechanism of static feature recognition and dynamic trend prediction, this process not only can discover the abnormality that has occurred in real time, but also can early warning potential risks, shorten the response time of abnormality handling, effectively reduce the equipment failure rate and invalid sample rate, provide reliable guarantee for the continuity of soil sampling and sample quality.
[0153] Further, the radar data analysis module analyzes the radar data and timely identifies the underground foreign matter in the soil sampling area. The steps include:
[0154] 1. Raw radar data preprocessing: including data format conversion and noise filtering;
[0155] Data format conversion: convert the original electromagnetic signal collected by the ground penetrating radar (GPR) into a two-dimensional matrix format for analysis, retaining key parameters such as signal intensity and propagation time.
[0156] Noise filtering: including removing system noise, suppressing environmental interference and correcting signal attenuation;
[0157] Remove system noise: eliminate the electronic noise of the radar device itself through smoothing filtering (such as sliding window average), and highlight the effective signal;
[0158] Suppress environmental interference: use background subtraction method to subtract the average signal of the area without foreign matter, and weaken the surface clutter, electromagnetic interference, etc.
[0159] Correct signal attenuation: due to the absorption of electromagnetic waves by soil medium, deep layer signal will be attenuated, through gain compensation, to ensure that the signal intensity at different depths can be compared. The signal gain compensation model is:
[0160] G(d, w) = G0·exp[k0(1+0.02w)d]; In the formula, G(d, w) represents the signal gain coefficient at the detection depth d and the soil volume moisture content w, which is used to compensate for the signal attenuation caused by depth and humidity during the propagation of electromagnetic waves in soil, ensuring that the signal intensity under different conditions can be compared. G0 is the initial gain at the surface, the default value is 1.0, which is the initial amplification coefficient of electromagnetic waves at the surface, serving as the basis for gain calculation in the entire depth range. k0 is the basic attenuation coefficient, reflecting the basic rate of electromagnetic wave attenuation with depth in pure dry soil: k0 = 0.015 in clay soil (clay has strong absorption of electromagnetic waves, and the basic attenuation rate is higher); k0 = 0.008 in sandy soil (sandy soil has good permeability and weak absorption of electromagnetic waves, and the basic attenuation rate is lower). w is the soil volume moisture content, i.e. the percentage of water volume in soil total volume, which is collected by the soil moisture sensor (such as TDR sensor) carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle for real-time dynamic correction of attenuation coefficient; the higher the humidity, the stronger the absorption of electromagnetic waves by soil, and the attenuation coefficient needs to be increased accordingly. d is the detection depth, indicating the vertical depth position of the underground to be detected, the greater the depth, the more significant the attenuation of electromagnetic waves, and the signal needs to be amplified by gain coefficient.
[0161] 2. Radar profile image generation: including time-depth conversion, gray-scale color imaging and image enhancement;
[0162] Time-depth conversion: convert the travel time of electromagnetic signals (unit: nanoseconds) into the actual probing depth (unit: centimeters), calculated based on the electromagnetic wave propagation velocity in soil. The time-depth conversion model is:
[0163] D = [V0(1-0.01p)t] / [2(1+0.03w)]; where D is the underground depth (unit: cm), i.e. the actual vertical burial depth of the underground target detected by the electromagnetic wave. V0 is the propagation velocity of electromagnetic waves in pure dry soil (unit: cm / ns), which is a basic speed parameter and is set differently according to soil types: V0 = 12 in clay soil; V0 = 18 in sandy soil. p is the soil bulk density, i.e. the dry weight per unit volume of soil, reflecting the degree of soil compaction (calculated by inverse calculation of the resistance to entering the soil collected by the sampling cylinder pressure sensor). t is the round-trip travel time of electromagnetic wave signals, i.e. the total time from radar signal transmission to receiving reflected signals (recorded directly by the radar equipment). w is the volumetric water content of the soil, i.e. the proportion of water volume in the soil to the total volume of the soil (real-time collected by the soil moisture sensor carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle).
[0164] Gray color imaging: map the signal intensity to image pixel values to form the underground profile image; areas with strong signals (such as foreign object reflections) are displayed as bright spots / warm colors, and areas with weak signals (such as uniform soil) are displayed as dark spots / cold colors.
[0165] Image enhancement: strengthen the boundary features of foreign objects and surrounding soil through contrast stretching, edge sharpening, etc., such as the circular edges of stones and the linear profiles of pipes.
[0166] 3. Abnormal area identification: including threshold segmentation, region growing and artifact removal;
[0167] Threshold segmentation: set a signal intensity threshold, mark areas in the image with signal intensity exceeding the threshold as "abnormal areas", which may contain foreign objects.
[0168] Region growing: morphologically process the initially marked abnormal areas, merge adjacent discrete abnormal points to form complete foreign object candidate areas.
[0169] Artifact removal: including exclusion of surface reflection interference and differentiation of soil layering reflections;
[0170] Exclusion of surface reflection interference: strong reflection will occur at the interface between the surface and the air, which is removed by depth range limitation;
[0171] Differentiation of soil layering reflections: normal soil layering reflections appear as continuous parallel stripes, if the abnormal areas appear as irregular blocks or lines, they are determined as potential foreign objects.
[0172] 4. Foreign object feature extraction: for each candidate abnormal area, extract morphological and signal features to establish classification criteria:
[0173] 4.1, Morphological characteristics:
[0174] Stone: Mostly irregular blocks, with round, square or polygonal outlines, horizontal dimensions usually five to thirty centimeters, and vertical depth ranges are relatively concentrated;
[0175] Root: Linear or branched, irregular outline, long horizontal extension, moderate signal strength;
[0176] Metal pipe: Continuous linear feature, extremely strong signal strength, long and straight horizontal extension, and uniform diameter.
[0177] 4.2, Signal characteristics:
[0178] Reflection intensity: Metal pipe > stone > root > soil;
[0179] Signal attenuation: Roots absorb electromagnetic waves strongly, and signal attenuation is fast; stone attenuation is slow, and deep layers can still be detected;
[0180] Waveform characteristics: Pipe reflection signals are periodic, stone reflections are single-peak strong signals, and root reflections are multi-peak weak signals.
[0181] 5, Foreign object type determination:
[0182] 5.1, Template matching: Establish a feature template library of known foreign objects (including typical morphologies and signal characteristics of stone, root, and pipe), compare the features of the candidate area with the template, and calculate the similarity.
[0183] 5.2, Application of classification rules:
[0184] If the candidate area is "strong reflection + block + no branch", it is determined to be "stone";
[0185] If it is "medium reflection + linear / branch + signal attenuation fast", it is determined to be "root";
[0186] If it is "extremely strong reflection + continuous linearity + uniform diameter", it is determined to be "metal pipe";
[0187] For areas that cannot be matched, mark them as "unknown foreign objects" and need to be manually reviewed.
[0188] 6, Three-dimensional positioning coordinate output:
[0189] 6.1, Spatial coordinate conversion: Combine the GPS positioning data of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the horizontal distance and depth detected by the radar to calculate the three-dimensional coordinates of the foreign object.
[0190] 6.2, Size estimation: Estimate the actual size of the foreign object based on the pixel size of the abnormal area in the image and the scale.
[0191] 6.3, Result arrangement: generate a foreign matter list containing the type, coordinates, size, and confidence of each foreign matter.
[0192] 7: Support sampling decision: send the foreign matter list to the route planning module to automatically avoid foreign matter dense areas and adjust the sampling point position; push high-risk foreign matter information to the control center to prompt enhanced device protection during sampling; store foreign matter data in the database for subsequent analysis.
[0193] In this technical solution, accurate identification of underground foreign matters is achieved, especially distinguishing between different types such as stones, tree roots, and pipelines, providing an obstacle avoidance guide for soil sampling, reducing equipment wear and tear and invalid sampling, and improving the safety and efficiency of automated sampling.
[0194] Further, the route planning module reasonably plans the data and position of the sampling points based on the geological data and sampling requirements of the soil sampling area, and plans the optimal flight and walking route of the unmanned aerial vehicle main body 1, including the following steps:
[0195] 1, Multi-source basic data integration:
[0196] 1.1, Core data collection: call the geological data (soil type, slope, soil thickness) provided by the data collection module, vegetation data (coverage, type), and historical sampling records; obtain the preset sampling requirement parameters (such as the number of sampling points, target depth, and regional range); access the real-time data of the soil moisture sensor carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle (record the soil volume moisture content w of the 0-5cm surface layer in the sampling area).
[0197] 1.2, Data preprocessing: superimpose the geological data and humidity data on the electronic map to generate a soil humidity zoning map (divided into dry area w≤15%, moderate humidity area 15%<w≤30%, and high humidity area w>30% according to w value);
[0198] Mark the known obstacle areas (such as foreign matter dense areas detected by radar and slopes >15) as "no sampling / no walking areas".
[0199] 2, Preliminary layout of sampling points:
[0200] 2.1, Selection of point layout method: for homogeneous areas (such as plain farmland), use grid point layout method: generate initial sampling points on the map at a preset interval;
[0201] For heterogeneous areas (such as mountainous areas and forest land), use hierarchical random point layout method: generate sampling points randomly in each sub-area according to soil type and vegetation zoning.
[0202] 2.2, Sampling point screening: remove the initial points located in the no-sampling area and replace them with the nearest feasible area; ensure that the distance between adjacent sampling points is not less than the preset minimum value;
[0203] Priority should be given to retaining sampling points within the suitable wet zone (15%<w≤30%), because the soil structure in this area is stable, which is convenient for walking with casters and can reduce soil adhesion or collapse during sampling.
[0204] 3. Feasibility verification of sampling points:
[0205] 3.1. Single-point suitability assessment: For each preliminary sampling point, evaluate the soil moisture and topography:
[0206] Dry area: If the slope is ≤10°, it is determined to be a feasible area for casters;
[0207] Suitable wet area: If the slope is ≤15°, it is determined to be a caster priority area;
[0208] High humidity area: It is determined to be a flight area. Casters are prone to slipping or getting stuck in mud, and drones must be flown to reach it.
[0209] 3.2. Abnormal point correction: If a sampling point is located in a high humidity area but sampling is required, it will be marked as a mandatory sampling point and the subsequent route planning will be based on flight arrival.
[0210] If three adjacent sampling points are all high-humidity areas, appropriately reduce the number of sampling points in this area to avoid ineffective operations, and record the reasons.
[0211] 4. Segment planning of the route:
[0212] 4.1. Grouping and sorting of sampling points: Adopt the principle of clustering close to each other: group sampling points with close distance (≤100m) into the same group to reduce long-distance round trips;
[0213] The order of visiting sampling points in each group is sorted according to the principle of shortest straight-line distance.
[0214] 4.2、Flying and walking mode division:
[0215] Flight mode triggering: When the distance between two groups of sampling points is greater than 50m, plan the drone's flight route (fly in a straight line and avoid obstacles); if the sampling points within a single group are located in a high-humidity area or a prohibited area (such as a steep slope), use the flight mode to fly back and forth; the flight route must stay away from areas with vegetation height greater than 0.5m (to avoid propeller entanglement).
[0216] Walking mode triggering: The distance between sampling points in a single group is ≤50m and all are located in the caster feasible area / priority area (ω≤30%, slope ≤15°). The caster walking route is planned; the walking route gives priority to paths with lower humidity in dry areas or suitable humidity areas, avoiding the boundaries of high humidity areas to prevent casters from slipping suddenly when entering high humidity areas from suitable humidity areas.
[0217] 5. Dynamic route optimization:
[0218] 5.1, Real-time humidity feedback adjustment: During the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the soil humidity sensor updates the humidity data in the range of 5m in front of the vehicle in real time; if a local high-humidity area appears in the original planned route, the vehicle automatically switches to short-distance flight or detours to the adjacent dry area.
[0219] 5.2, Energy consumption balance optimization: calculate the energy consumption of different modes, the flight mode is estimated by distance x 0.1Wh / m, and the walking mode is estimated by distance x 0.03Wh / m+humidity coefficient;
[0220] For long-distance routes, if the flight energy consumption is less than the walking energy consumption, the flight mode is automatically selected; for short-distance routes, the walking mode is automatically selected.
[0221] 5.3, Emergency backup route generation: one or two backup routes are planned for each group of sampling points, and when the main route is not available due to sudden humidity changes or temporary obstacles, the backup route is immediately switched to.
[0222] 6, Route output: generate the final route scheme, output the detailed route map containing the sampling point coordinates, access order, and mode switching points; mark the key parameters such as the humidity range of each walking segment, the altitude of the flight segment, and the estimated total time. The route scheme is sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle control system for real-time synchronization of position information; when walking, the speed instruction is sent to the wheel assembly;
[0223] The application provides a soil sampling method for soil organic carbon detection, comprising the following steps:
[0224] S1, the data collection module of the monitoring mechanism collects geological data and vegetation data of the area where soil sampling is needed; historical data is collected and labeled.

[0229] S6, the image acquisition module collects high-definition images of the soil sampling process;
[0230] S61, initial state, the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to one of the sampling tubes 4. The drone body 1 flies to the location where sampling is required;
[0231] S62, start the driving mechanism 5 to drive the sampling tube 4 to move downward, and at the same time drive the sampling tube 4 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 6, so that the sampling tube 4 extends into the ground to perform soil sampling operations.
[0232] S62, the driving mechanism 5 drives the sampling tube 4 to move upward to a predetermined position;
[0233] S63, the shifting mechanism 8 drives the pushing mechanism 9 to rotate, so that one of the rubber plugs 95 is located below the sampling tube 4;
[0234] S64, the driving mechanism 5 drives the sampling tube 4 to move downward, so that the rubber plug 95 is stuck into the bottom of the sampling tube 4 to perform a sealing operation;
[0235] S65 , the driving mechanism 5 then drives the sampling cylinder 4 to move upward for a certain distance, and the connecting rod 7 cancels the connection with the sampling cylinder 4 .
[0236] S66, the shifting mechanism 8 drives the pushing mechanism 9 to rotate 180 degrees, and at the same time drives the holder 10 to rotate a certain angle, so that the sampling tube 4 containing the soil sample leaves the position under the connecting rod 7, and the next sampling tube 4 rotates to the bottom of the connecting rod 7 for standby.
[0237] S7, the image analysis module analyzes and identifies the collected images and promptly identifies abnormal conditions during the soil sampling process;
[0238] S8. When an abnormal situation is detected, the alarm module will issue an alarm in time.
[0239] In view of the fact that soil organic carbon is easily disturbed, the present invention adopts a design such as sealing the inert material sampling tube with a rubber plug during the sampling process to reduce the contact between the sample and the outside world, avoid volatilization or contamination of organic carbon, and ensure the original state of the sample before detection. The route planning module combines a hybrid mode of drone flight and caster walking, which can quickly reach long-distance flights and save energy for short-distance walking. Compared with traditional manual sampling or pure flight mode, the operation efficiency is improved and more sampling points can be completed in a single operation.

The whole process is automated and intelligent, reducing human errors.
