[0086] Embodiment:

[0087] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a technical solution:

[0088] A sweet potato appearance quality evaluation method based on growth environment, the specific steps comprising:

[0089] Step 1: Select multiple monitoring areas in the sweet potato planting area, take each monitoring area as a node, number each node, and construct an undirected graph, add edges in the undirected graph according to the spatial information between nodes, and form an undirected graph network;

[0090] Step 2: Place each node in an independent community. For each node in the network in the undirected graph, move it to the community where all its neighbor nodes are located one by one, calculate the corresponding modularity increment of each movement, move the node to the neighbor community that maximizes the modularity increment, repeat the movement of the node until the community attribution of all nodes no longer changes;

[0091] In this embodiment, in the sweet potato planting area, a regular grid method is used to select the monitoring area, the area of each monitoring area is controlled within 10m x 10m, and the spatial distribution is uniform and covers different terrains and soil types. The center point of each monitoring area is taken as a node, and each node is numbered in order. When constructing an undirected graph, the edges are added according to the following rules: if the Euclidean distance between two nodes is ≤50m, then connect the edge in the undirected graph, and the edge weight is set as the inverse of the absolute difference of the soil moisture between the two nodes, to reflect the spatial correlation;

[0092] At initialization, each node is an independent community. Each node is traversed, and the modularity increment after moving to the adjacent community is calculated , The calculation formula is as follows:

[0093] ;

[0094] In the formula, is the modularity increment, is the weight sum of the edges in the target community (excluding the connection edges of node i before moving), is the weight sum of all edges in the target community (including the connection edges of node i and external nodes before moving), is the edge weight sum of node i, is the index of the node, is the total edge weight sum of the network;

[0095] According to the above calculation method of modularity increment, each node is moved to the neighbor community with the maximum modularity increment. Repeat the movement of the node until the community attribution of all nodes no longer changes. The community division method can automatically aggregate monitoring nodes with similar environmental characteristics into the same community through the modularity maximization algorithm. Specifically, the edge weight defined based on the inverse of the soil moisture difference makes the nodes with similar humidity have stronger connection strength. In the modularity increment In the calculation process, the algorithm will preferentially divide nodes with similar soil moisture into the same community while ensuring that the environmental characteristics between different communities are significantly different. This division results in high homogeneity within the community, manifested as consistency in key growth environment indicators such as soil moisture and nutrient content, while there is obvious environmental heterogeneity between different communities. The beneficial effects of this technical solution are: on the one hand, it ensures that the collected sweet potato growth data within the same community is comparable and representative, improving the accuracy of quality assessment; on the other hand, it provides a scientific basis for differentiated agricultural management, allowing precise irrigation, fertilization, and other agricultural operations based on the environmental characteristics of different communities, thereby optimizing resource allocation and improving sweet potato quality and yield. In addition, this community division method based on environmental similarity lays a scientific foundation for subsequent quality assessment index correction, enabling the final comprehensive quality index to truly reflect the actual quality level of sweet potatoes in each region.

[0096] The advantages of steps 1 and 2 are that by constructing an undirected graph network and classifying nodes into communities, the environmental data within the sweet potato planting area can be systematically integrated and analyzed. This structure not only effectively reflects the spatial relationship between nodes but also reveals the mutual influence of each node under different environmental conditions, thereby promoting precision agriculture management. Compared with existing technologies, this method overcomes the limitations of traditional single-index evaluation, providing a more comprehensive analysis of the growth environment through a comprehensive and dynamic data structure.

[0097] In this solution, this step can play an important role in promoting the overall solution. Through the construction of an undirected graph network, the influence of different environmental variables on sweet potato quality can be more accurately identified, and community affiliation can be dynamically optimized between nodes, thereby improving the accuracy of quality assessment. This systematic environmental analysis provides a solid foundation for subsequent quality assessment, making the final quality evaluation more scientific and reliable, thereby improving the overall efficiency of sweet potato cultivation and market competitiveness.

[0098] Step 3: According to the node conditions within each community, a community node set is formed, the spectral image of the sweet potato sample at the node location is obtained, and the reflectivity data of the key waveband is extracted from the spectral image.

[0122] The pH value and soil humidity of the planting soil are obtained using a pH sensor and a humidity sensor, respectively denoted as and .

[0123] The advantage of step 3 is that by obtaining the spectral images and environmental data of the nodes within the community, the influence of the sweet potato growing environment on its quality can be accurately analyzed. This process combines various environmental variables such as soil pH, humidity, and sweet potato dry matter ratio, which helps to comprehensively evaluate the growth conditions of sweet potatoes. Compared with the prior art, traditional methods often rely on only a small number of soil or plant samples for analysis, lacking dynamic monitoring of the entire planting environment, while this step can provide more details and higher accuracy.

[0124] In this approach, this step enhances the overall program by providing crucial foundational data and multi-dimensional information for subsequent quality assessments. This comprehensive environmental analysis not only improves the reliability of quality assessments but also helps farmers and agricultural managers monitor the dynamics of sweet potato growth in real time, enabling timely adjustments to management practices to optimize production and quality.

If the soil pH value exceeds the threshold range, the absolute difference between the soil pH value and the optimal pH value is calculated and denoted as . If the content is within the threshold range, it will not be included in the subsequent calculation of the environmental adaptability index. Similarly, if the soluble sugar content or starch content in sweet potatoes exceeds the threshold range, the absolute differences between the soluble sugar content and starch content and the corresponding optimal values ​​will be calculated and recorded as follows: and If the value does not exceed the threshold range, it will not be included in the subsequent calculation of the growth health index;

Potassium content, This is the ideal value for potassium content. , and This is a preset proportional coefficient. , , ; this is because the dry matter ratio directly reflects the nutrient accumulation and energy storage of sweet potatoes, which is an important indicator of plant growth and health, so it is reasonable to give the highest weight to the dry matter ratio, indicating that its influence on the growth and health index is the greatest; the influence of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients is relatively complex, although they are essential for plant growth, but they usually do not directly affect the overall growth of plants like dry matter ratio, soluble sugar content and starch content, so they are given a lower weight.

[0130] is a comprehensive index for evaluating the growth and health of sweet potatoes, reflecting the growth potential of sweet potatoes. It takes into account the dry matter ratio, soluble sugar and starch content, as well as the suitability of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients. When increases, it means that the plant's growth condition is good, is also larger; when increases, it means that the deviation of the organic matter content in the current soil from the preset threshold value increases, which may have a negative impact on the healthy growth of sweet potatoes, so will decrease; when , , , or increases, it means that the deviation of the nutrient content in the soil from the ideal value increases, and too high or too low nutrient content will have a negative effect on the growth of sweet potatoes, so will decrease accordingly; that is, it indicates that and are positively correlated, , , , , and are negatively correlated.

[0131] The formula for calculating the microbial activity index is as follows:

[0132] ;

[0133] wherein is the microbial activity index, is the microbial biomass, is the ideal state of the microbial biomass, is the soil moisture, is the ideal state of the soil moisture, is the environmental temperature, is the ideal state of the environmental temperature, is a proportionality coefficient, and ;

[0134] is a comprehensive index for evaluating the activity status of microorganisms in the soil. It reflects the degree of influence of microbial biomass, soil humidity, and environmental temperature on microbial activity. When increases, it means that the microbial biomass in the planting soil deviates from the ideal value, and excessive microbial biomass can affect the diversity of soil microbial communities, leading to overpopulation of certain microbial species, thereby affecting the ecological balance, while insufficient microbial biomass can lead to soil fertility decline, reducing the productivity of the soil, so when increases, will increase accordingly; when increases, it means that the humidity of the planting soil deviates from the ideal value, and microorganisms are very sensitive to water demand, and excessive soil humidity can lead to anoxic environment, inhibiting the activity of certain microorganisms; while low humidity can cause dehydration of microorganisms, affecting their survival and reproduction, will increase accordingly;

[0135] When increases, it means that the temperature of the planting soil deviates from the ideal value, and the metabolic activity of microorganisms is closely related to temperature, and excessive or low temperature can inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, leading to reduced activity, so increases; that is, it indicates that , , is positively correlated with .

[0136] The formula for calculating the environmental adaptability index is as follows:

[0137] ;

[0138] wherein, is the environmental adaptability index, is the soil humidity, is the ideal soil humidity, is the environmental temperature, is the ideal environmental temperature, , is a preset proportionality coefficient, , This is because changes in humidity and temperature directly affect the growth of plants and the activity of microorganisms, so in the environmental adaptability assessment, the influence of temperature and humidity is considered to be more common and critical. Therefore, a larger The value can enhance the influence of humidity and temperature on the adaptability index, ensuring that the environmental adaptability index can provide corresponding feedback when the two parameters change significantly.

[0139] is a comprehensive index used to evaluate the adaptability of sweet potato to its environmental conditions. It takes into account factors such as soil pH, humidity, and temperature, reflecting the impact of environmental conditions on sweet potato. Deviation in pH can result in greater impact on soil health and plant growth, so when increases, decreases; when increases, it means that the humidity of the planting soil deviates from the ideal value, and the plant's root system may not be able to effectively absorb the required water. Low humidity can cause plants to exhibit drought symptoms, affecting their growth; high humidity can lead to root hypoxia, inhibiting the normal growth of plants, will decrease accordingly; when increases, it means that the temperature of the planting soil deviates from the ideal value, and extreme deviations in temperature can cause physiological processes to be hindered, high temperatures can cause cell damage to plants, and even cause physiological drought; low temperatures can cause growth to stop, and even cause frost damage, will be smaller; that is, , , and are negatively correlated.

[0140] The advantage of step 4 is that it can comprehensively and accurately evaluate the key nutrient components of soil and sweet potato samples and their growth and health status through the analysis of reflected wave data. This step combines various biochemical indicators such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium content, and microbial biomass, providing a more comprehensive growth and health index, microbial activity index, and environmental adaptability index. Compared with existing technologies, this method effectively overcomes the limitations of relying on a single indicator or traditional soil testing, and can more comprehensively reflect the growth environment and quality status of sweet potato.

[0141] In this scheme, the use of this step can play an important role in promoting the overall scheme, as it provides scientific basis and rich data support for the evaluation of sweet potato quality. This comprehensive analysis makes subsequent quality evaluation more reliable, helping farmers and managers to make more accurate agricultural management decisions based on empirical data. At the same time, by monitoring the health status of soil and plants in real time, management measures can be adjusted in a timely manner to optimize the growth conditions of sweet potato, improve the final product quality and yield.

[0142] Step 5: Determine the quality evaluation index for reflecting the quality of sweet potato at each node according to the growth health index, microbial activity index and environmental adaptability index, and take the average value of the quality evaluation index of all nodes in the community as the quality evaluation index of the community;

[0143] In this embodiment, the quality evaluation index for reflecting the quality of sweet potato at each node is determined according to the growth health index, microbial activity index and environmental adaptability index, and the formula is as follows:

[0144] ;

[0145] Wherein, is the quality evaluation index, is the growth health index, is the microbial activity index, is the environmental adaptability index, , , is the weight, which is determined according to the analytic hierarchy process;

[0146] represents the overall quality evaluation result, and the higher the value, the better the quality of the plant or ecosystem, and vice versa; reflects the growth condition of the plant, and the higher the value, the better the growth condition of the sweet potato, so that when increases, also increases; is used to measure the adaptability of environmental conditions to plant growth, and reflects the suitability of soil and climate conditions to plant growth. The higher the value, the more suitable the growth environment of sweet potato, the greater the value; represents the activity and diversity of microorganisms in the soil, and the higher the value, the greater the impact on nutrient supply and soil ecological balance, which has a negative impact on the quality of sweet potato, therefore , and are positively correlated, and are negatively correlated.

[0147] The formula amplifies the synergistic effect of key parameters through the exponential function, which is more in line with the non-linear accumulation law of biological quality formation, and can sensitively reflect the marginal influence of small changes in the index on sweet potato quality. The cubic root compresses the index, avoiding the dominance of a single indicator in the evaluation results. At the same time, the denominator introduces the adjustment effect of the microbial activity index, reflecting the potential inhibitory effect of the microbial activity index on sweet potato quality. The weight coefficient is determined by the analytic hierarchy process, ensuring that the formula can adjust the priority of parameters for different varieties or planting modes, enhancing the model's generalization ability. The exponential function always outputs positive, and the cubic root smooths the fluctuations of input parameters, making the evaluation results remain within a reasonable range even under extreme values, avoiding distorted scores caused by soil or climate abnormalities.

[0148] The average of all node quality evaluation indexes in the community is taken as the quality evaluation index of the community, denoted as .

[0149] The specific logic for determining the weight by the analytic hierarchy process is as follows:

[0150] The growth health index, microbial activity index, and environmental adaptability index are marked, and the relative importance values between each other are determined by the nine-scale method to construct the judgment matrix. The growth health index is marked as 1, the microbial activity index is marked as 2, and the environmental adaptability index is marked as 3. The constructed judgment matrix is:

[0151] ;

[0152] wherein, , both represent the index of the index, and , , represent the importance of the index of relative to the index of . The importance uses the 1-9 scale method, and the larger the value, the greater the importance of the index of compared to the index of , and , ;

[0153] Each element value in the judgment matrix is divided by the sum of its column to obtain a normalized judgment matrix. The average value of each row element value in the normalized judgment matrix is calculated, and the average value of the first row element value is taken as the weight of the growth health index, the average value of the second row element value is taken as the weight of the microbial activity index, and the average value of the third row element value is taken as the weight of the environmental adaptability index. The three weights are scaled in equal proportions with the constraint that the sum of the scaled values is equal to 1, and the scaled weights are taken as the proportionality coefficients of the corresponding indexes.

[0154] The advantage of step 5 is that it establishes a systematic quality evaluation model by integrating the growth health index, microbial activity index, and environmental adaptability index, which can accurately evaluate the quality of sweet potatoes at each node. This method not only integrates multiple dimensions of data, but also considers the influence of different environments and growth conditions on sweet potato quality, providing a more comprehensive and scientific quality analysis compared to traditional single-index evaluation.

[0155] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of step 5 is that its multi-index comprehensive analysis method can effectively reduce the deviation and misjudgment risk that may be caused by a single index. By comprehensively considering multiple indexes, the reliability and accuracy of the evaluation results are ensured, making the judgment of sweet potato quality more scientific and objective. In this scheme, the use of this step can promote the overall scheme, as it provides quantitative basis for the evaluation of sweet potato appearance quality, making the evaluation results more practical. In practical application, farmers and agricultural managers can adjust planting management measures in a timely manner based on the quality evaluation index, thereby optimizing the production process of sweet potatoes, improving yield and quality, and ultimately achieving higher economic benefits.

[0156] Step 6: Obtain the average tuber weight, tuber neatness, and tuber length-width ratio in the community, correct the quality evaluation index based on the average tuber weight, tuber neatness, and tuber length-width ratio, obtain the comprehensive quality index, compare the comprehensive quality index with the preset threshold, and according to the comparison result, divide the quality of sweet potatoes in the community into three levels, namely: low quality, medium quality, and high quality.

[0157] In this embodiment, the specific logic for obtaining the average tuber weight, tuber neatness, and tuber length-width ratio in the community is as follows: a certain number of sweet potato plants are randomly dug in each community, all tubers are harvested, and soil and roots are removed. Each tuber is weighed using an electronic scale to 0.1 g, and damaged or diseased tubers are excluded. The average mass is taken as the average tuber weight of the community. The average tuber weight refers to the average weight of a single tuber, i.e. the total weight of all tubers harvested from the randomly dug sweet potato plants in each community divided by the total number of tubers, denoted as ; the tuber length-width ratio refers to the ratio of the length of the tuber to the diameter of the largest part of the tuber, denoted as . ;

[0158] Calculate the uniformity of potato chunks using the following formula:

[0159] ;

[0160] In the formula, The uniformity of potato tuber size is used to reflect the uniformity of tuber size within the same community. A value closer to 1 indicates more uniform tuber weight, and vice versa. A lower uniformity value indicates greater variation in the weight of the sweet potatoes and poorer uniformity. A higher uniformity value indicates that the sweet potatoes from that community are of better quality and can gain greater recognition in the market. The standard deviation of potato tuber weight in this community;

[0161] The quality evaluation indicators are adjusted based on average tuber weight, tuber uniformity, and tuber length-to-width ratio, using the following formula:

[0162] ;

[0163] In the formula, For the comprehensive quality index, This represents the average weight of the potato chunks. This is a reference weight for the potato chunks. To ensure the uniformity of the potato chunks, The aspect ratio of the potato tuber. This is a reference value for the aspect ratio. , and To preset weights, , , This is because in many markets, the weight of sweet potatoes is a significant factor influencing their selling price. Consumers and markets tend to buy sweet potatoes of moderate weight, as they generally represent higher yield and economic value. Therefore, average tuber weight has a greater impact on quality assessment and is given a higher weight.

[0164] is an evaluation of the overall quality of sweet potatoes, and also takes into account the average tuber weight, tuber uniformity, and tuber length-width ratio, which are three key factors. It reflects the overall quality level of sweet potatoes, combining the effects of yield, size, and uniformity, providing a more comprehensive evaluation of sweet potato quality, which better reflects market value and consumer acceptance. The relationship between the comprehensive quality index and tuber weight and uniformity reflects the optimal commercial characteristics. Specifically, when the tuber uniformity improves, the comprehensive quality index will increase accordingly, because high uniformity is beneficial to mechanized harvesting and processing, significantly reducing production costs; and when the tuber weight is within the optimal commercial size range of 150-400g (i.e. 3-8 two), the comprehensive quality index reaches a peak, which reflects the market's premium recognition of this size of sweet potatoes. It is worth noting that small or large tubers, although they may perform well in some intrinsic quality indicators, have relatively low economic value because they do not meet the needs of the mainstream market, so they are appropriately corrected in the calculation of the comprehensive quality index. This design ensures a high degree of consistency between the quality evaluation results and market value, taking into account the processing suitability and appearance of the tubers, as well as the intrinsic quality and market demand characteristics.

[0165] The comprehensive quality index is compared with a preset threshold, and the specific logic is as follows:

[0166] When , it is determined that the quality of sweet potatoes in the community is low, and such sweet potatoes usually have small or large tubers, poor uniformity, and low dry matter content;

[0167] When , it is determined that the quality of sweet potatoes in the community is medium, and such sweet potatoes have tuber weights concentrated in the optimal commercial size range and good uniformity, meeting market demand;

[0168] When , it is determined that the quality of sweet potatoes in the community is high, and such sweet potatoes not only meet all the requirements of medium quality, but also have more excellent intrinsic quality indicators such as dry matter content and nutrient element content;

[0169] wherein is the comprehensive quality index, is the preset evaluation threshold.

[0170] The advantage of step 6 is that it further improves the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation of the appearance quality of sweet potatoes by obtaining the average tuber weight and uniformity of sweet potatoes in the community. By actually measuring the physical characteristics of the tubers and combining the correction of the quality evaluation indicators, the quality of the sweet potatoes can be more comprehensively reflected, providing a more intuitive evaluation. This method increases the multidimensional consideration of the quality of sweet potatoes, ensuring that the evaluation results are true and reliable.

[0171] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of step 6 is that it not only relies on biochemical indicators, but also introduces physical characteristics as evaluation criteria, which is relatively rare in traditional methods. By integrating biochemical data and physical indicators, errors caused by a single indicator can be effectively reduced, ensuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of quality evaluation, thereby improving the scientificity of sweet potato appearance quality evaluation. In this scheme, the use of this step can play an important role in promoting the overall scheme, because it enables sweet potato appearance quality evaluation not only to be limited to laboratory analysis, but also to include on-site actual measurement, enhancing the practicality and guidance of the evaluation results. This process not only helps farmers better understand and grasp the growth status of sweet potatoes, but also provides practical basis for subsequent management decisions, thereby improving the overall production efficiency and market competitiveness of sweet potatoes.

Based on the average weight, uniformity, and aspect ratio, the quality evaluation indicators are corrected to obtain a comprehensive quality index. The comprehensive quality index is compared with a preset threshold. Based on the comparison results, the quality of sweet potatoes in the community is divided into three levels: low quality, medium quality, and high quality.
