Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent agricultural technology, specifically relating to a method, system, equipment, and medium for identifying and harvesting golden lotus flowers. Background Technology

[0002] As a high-value flowering crop, the harvesting of nasturtiums has long relied on manual labor. Due to the delicate petals, easily damaged stems, and irregular growth pattern of nasturtiums, manual harvesting is not only inefficient and labor-intensive but also prone to damaging the flowers, affecting their commercial value. With rising agricultural labor costs and increasing demands for large-scale cultivation, traditional manual harvesting methods are no longer sufficient for modern agricultural production. Most existing automated harvesting equipment is designed for fruit-bearing crops, employing recognition methods based on single visual features such as color and shape. These methods perform poorly in complex environments like those for nasturtiums, where there is significant background interference, resulting in low accuracy, large positioning errors, and an inability to achieve precise harvesting.

[0003] Furthermore, existing harvesting machinery mostly employs pre-programmed trajectories or simple control strategies, lacking adaptability to complex, unstructured environments. This makes them prone to harvesting failures or flower damage due to factors such as changes in ambient light, shading, and overlapping flowers. Although some research has attempted to introduce machine learning methods for crop recognition, problems remain, including weak model generalization ability, poor real-time performance, and insufficient multi-objective collaborative optimization. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent harvesting method and device for golden lotus flowers that can integrate multi-source sensory information and possess strong generalization and adaptive capabilities, in order to achieve accurate identification, stable positioning, and gentle harvesting of golden lotus flowers.

[0036] A smart golden lotus harvesting system is provided to implement the aforementioned golden lotus identification and harvesting method, including a multimodal sensing module, a golden lotus identification and positioning module, a harvesting trajectory planning and control module, and an actuator module.

[0037] The multimodal perception module, including a high-resolution RGB camera and a depth camera, collects multimodal data of the canopy of the golden lotus. Through sensor calibration and data synchronization mechanisms, the multimodal data is aligned in time and space to construct a multimodal representation tensor, and the multimodal representation tensor is transmitted to the golden lotus recognition and localization module.

[0043] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, achieves the following technical advancements compared to existing technologies:

[0044] (1) The method of the present invention significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of the identification of golden lotus by using multimodal data fusion and deep learning technology. Traditional methods rely on single visual features and are easily affected by lighting and occlusion. However, the present method integrates RGB images and depth information, and combines attention-guided multi-scale feature extraction to effectively solve the problems of flower overlap and morphological variation in complex backgrounds, and the recognition accuracy is greatly improved. At the same time, the cross-modal attention module realizes the alignment and enhancement of heterogeneous features, so that the system has a stronger generalization ability for golden lotus with different growth postures and lighting conditions, laying the foundation for subsequent accurate positioning.

[0045] (2) The method of the present invention achieves high-precision modeling of the three-dimensional space of the golden lotus by using a multi-scale feature pyramid and a Gaussian mixture model. By integrating features at different levels and combining three-dimensional distribution fitting, it can not only output the precise coordinates of the flower, but also estimate its posture information, providing more comprehensive spatial positioning for harvesting machinery. This refined three-dimensional modeling effectively reduces positioning errors, avoids harvesting failures caused by environmental changes, and significantly improves harvesting efficiency.

[0046] (3) The method of the present invention uses a trajectory planning algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning, which enables the picking process to adapt to complex environments. Through the reinforcement learning model, the picking trajectory is optimized in real time, which can flexibly cope with challenges such as irregular flower distribution and limited growth space. The algorithm continuously adjusts its strategy through interactive learning with the environment to ensure that the robotic arm approaches the target with the optimal path, reducing unnecessary motion energy consumption and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding flowers.

[0047] (4) The method of the present invention uses a flexible grasping strategy with impedance control, which solves the problem that traditional mechanical grasping is prone to damaging petals. By adjusting the grasping force of the end effector in real time, the system can dynamically control the force according to the shape and texture of the flower, avoiding petal tearing or stem breakage due to excessive force. This compliant grasping mechanism not only improves the harvesting quality, but also extends the commercial value of the flower, providing a reliable technical guarantee for large-scale planting.

[0048] (5) The method of the present invention uses a multi-objective trade-off reward function and a near-end strategy optimization algorithm in the intelligent planning and optimization of the picking trajectory. By training the strategy network in a simulation environment, the robotic arm can weigh picking efficiency, path smoothness and obstacle avoidance requirements in real time to generate the optimal trajectory. This adaptive planning mechanism significantly reduces the energy consumption of the robotic arm and avoids the risk of collision caused by environmental occlusion or flower overlap. At the same time, by dynamically adjusting the joint angular velocity, it ensures that the end effector approaches the target in a compliant posture, providing a stable foundation for subsequent flexible grasping, thereby improving the overall accuracy and reliability of harvesting.

[0049] (6) The system of the present invention achieves intelligent processing of the entire process of golden lotus from accurate identification to gentle picking through the collaborative work of the multimodal perception module, the identification and positioning module, the trajectory planning and control module and the execution mechanism module: the multimodal perception module integrates RGB and depth data, and combines sensor calibration and synchronization mechanisms to construct a high-precision multimodal representation tensor, providing reliable input for subsequent identification; the identification and positioning module utilizes attention mechanism and multi-scale feature fusion network to effectively solve the problem of flower identification and three-dimensional positioning in complex backgrounds, significantly improving positioning accuracy; the trajectory planning and control module generates the optimal picking trajectory through optimization algorithm based on the dynamic constraints of the robotic arm and the morphological characteristics of golden lotus, ensuring efficient movement and obstacle avoidance; the execution mechanism module is equipped with a high-precision servo motor and a multi-sensor flexible end effector, which can adjust the grasping force and posture in real time to achieve gentle picking and avoid damage to the flowers. The system as a whole improves the harvesting efficiency and quality, reduces manual dependence, and provides reliable technical support for large-scale planting.

[0050] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent agriculture technology. It achieves efficient, accurate, and low-damage automated harvesting of golden lotus flowers by using multimodal sensor fusion, deep learning-driven golden lotus flower recognition and positioning algorithms, and deep reinforcement learning-based harvesting trajectory planning and control strategies.
