Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of remote sensing technology, specifically relating to a precision pest and weed control system and method based on UAV remote sensing and laser synergy. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural production, weeds and pests are among the core issues affecting crop yield and quality. Traditional pest and weed control methods mainly rely on chemical spraying, which, while effective in the short term, has the following significant drawbacks: Severe environmental pollution: Chemicals can seep into the soil and groundwater, leading to soil compaction and water pollution. They also remain in crops, harming human health and failing to meet the needs of green agriculture development; Extremely low precision: Spraying is a "full coverage" method, unable to distinguish between crops, weeds, and pests, easily killing beneficial organisms (such as pollinating insects) and disrupting the ecological balance of farmland; Low operational efficiency: Manual operation of sprayers or large machinery is required, making operations difficult and costly in complex terrains (such as mountains and hills) or for tall crops (such as corn and sugarcane).
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies have developed drone-based pest and weed control solutions, which can be broadly categorized into two types: drone-based pesticide spraying, which optimizes operational efficiency but still relies on chemical pesticides, and the environmental pollution and residue problems remain unresolved.
[0004] Drone-based mechanical / laser weeding: Some solutions use drones equipped with mechanical cutting components or single laser devices, but they lack precise identification capabilities—they can only make a preliminary judgment of "foreign objects" through visual sensors, and cannot distinguish between weeds and crops, or pests and beneficial insects, which can easily cause accidental damage to crops. At the same time, these solutions do not combine the large-scale data collection capabilities of remote sensing technology, and can only achieve "point-to-point" local operations, which cannot meet the needs of efficient operations in large areas of farmland.
[0005] In addition, existing laser pest and weed control solutions have the problem of fixed laser parameters: different weeds (such as broadleaf weeds and grass weeds) have different leaf thicknesses and pests (such as aphids and cabbage caterpillars) have different body wall strengths. A laser with fixed power either cannot completely remove the target or damages the surrounding crops due to excessive power, resulting in extremely poor adaptability.
[0006] In summary, existing technologies lack a pest and weed control solution that can achieve coordinated "wide-range identification, precise positioning, and differentiated treatment," and cannot simultaneously meet the needs of green environmental protection, precision and efficiency, and wide adaptability.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning module is used to obtain the real-time location coordinates of the UAV platform and convert the location coordinates of weeds or pests output by the data processing and target recognition module into absolute geographic coordinates.
[0013] This invention also discloses a precise pest and weed control method based on UAV remote sensing and laser collaboration, including the following steps: Step 1, Information collection: Input farmland boundary coordinates and crop type information to the central control module through the ground terminal, the central control module plans the flight path of the UAV, and the data processing and target recognition module loads the matching crop-weed-pest feature database.
[0014] Step 2, Data Transmission and Identification: The central control module controls the UAV platform to fly along the planned route, while the remote sensing data acquisition module simultaneously collects multispectral data and infrared thermal imaging data of farmland and transmits them to the data processing and target identification module.
[0015] Step 3, Algorithm Recognition: The data processing and target recognition module uses AI recognition algorithms to distinguish between crops and weeds, identify pests, and determine the type of weeds and pests; the positioning module converts the relative position of weeds or pests into absolute geographic coordinates and sends them to the central control module.
[0016] Step 4, Weeding Operation: The central control module controls the drone platform to fly to a preset height above the weeds or pests, sends parameter commands to the laser execution module, the laser focus adjustment component adjusts the laser focus to the target surface, the laser power adjustment component adjusts the laser power, and the laser generator emits laser to complete the pest and weed removal operation.
[0017] Step 5, Cyclic Weeding: The laser execution module sends a signal that the job is completed, the remote sensing data acquisition module collects data of the work area again, and the data processing and target recognition module verifies whether the target has been cleared; if not cleared, the laser power is adjusted and step 4 is repeated; if cleared, the UAV platform moves to the next area for operation.
[0018] Preferably, in step 1, the spacing of the UAV flight path is not greater than the effective detection width of the remote sensing data acquisition module.
[0019] Preferably, in step 4, the preset height range is 1.5m-3m, and the laser power adjustment range of the laser power adjustment component in step 4 is: 1W-3W for weeds and 5W-15W for pests.
[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: The present invention achieves four core breakthroughs through an integrated architecture of "data integration - feature mining - model construction - quality monitoring": The present invention improves the efficiency of data integration: it constructs a unified paradigm and standard dataset for multi-heterogeneous power source data, is compatible with protocols such as DL / T645 and IEC61850, breaks through the "format barrier", and improves the data integration efficiency to more than 85%, supporting the global analysis of "source-grid-load".

[0022] The present invention provides intelligent anomaly identification: it constructs an anomaly identification model based on robust extraction of spatiotemporal features and multi-scale temporal semantic modeling. Through robust extraction, harmonic noise and data missing interference are filtered out, reducing the false detection rate to below 15%. Through multi-scale semantic modeling, it adapts to data with different sampling frequencies, captures small sample / distribution drift anomalies, and reduces the missed detection rate to below 10%.

It has been verified in the production environments of ≥5 provincial companies, promoting the application of the technology to scenarios of "precise scheduling, equipment operation and maintenance, and demand response", and improving the efficiency of data quality governance by 60%.
