[0010] Preferably, the specific process for determining the processing model selection result includes: When the memory usage of the preprocessed image information is less than or equal to a first threshold, a dynamic selection model is constructed. The preprocessed image information is then input into the dynamic selection model for further processing. Based on the processing results of the dynamic selection model, a corresponding processing model is selected, and the processing model is used for simulation processing. Determine whether the time of the simulation processing result matches the target of the smart orchard image processing; if they match, select the processing model.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention can reduce the space occupied by image information and improve processing efficiency by calling edge computing nodes for preprocessing through the above steps, thus making full use of the geographical location advantages and real-time processing capabilities of edge computing.
[0025] In one specific embodiment, the process of sending the data to the cloud server for processing includes: The cloud server is pre-configured with various types of processing models, which may include various types of neural network models, semantic segmentation models, convolutional neural network models and other data processing models. The processing model selection result is determined based on the memory size of the preprocessed image information, the image processing target of the smart orchard, and the cloud space size of the cloud server.
[0026] In one specific embodiment, the process of determining the specific steps for processing the model selection result includes: When the memory occupied by the preprocessed image information is less than or equal to the first threshold, a dynamic selection model is constructed, and the preprocessed image information is input into the dynamic selection model for processing. The dynamic selection model can construct a resource selection algorithm based on data models such as cluster node matrix, CPU load matrix, disk I / O load matrix, and network load matrix.

The processing model that ranks before the target image processing in the smart orchard is selected for processing. At this time, the dynamic selection model is the same as the dynamic selection model mentioned above. The preprocessed image information is segmented based on the matching results and then sequentially input into the corresponding processing models for further processing.
[0028] Specifically, when the two do not match, a decision model is constructed to determine the segmentation method of image information and the specific type of the corresponding processing model.

Simultaneously, the processing models of interest are used to simulate image processing, and the image processing time is sorted. Using the image processing target of the smart orchard as the threshold, the processing models less than or equal to the image processing target of the smart orchard are selected to complete the image processing, thereby further improving the efficiency of data processing.
