Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bean sprout growth monitoring technology, specifically to a method and device for monitoring bean sprout growth based on multi-parameter sensing. Background Technology

[0002] With "healthy eating" and "sustainable development" becoming the dominant themes of our time, food safety and nutrition management are gradually becoming core issues of social concern. Bean sprouts, a common vegetable in Chinese and East Asian households, are considered an ideal health food due to their high protein, low fat, and rich vitamin and dietary fiber content.

[0003] With social development and technological advancements, modern consumers' dietary concepts are undergoing significant changes. A healthy, natural, and sustainable lifestyle is gradually replacing the simple demands of "eating enough" and "convenience," with people desiring a greater sense of control and participation in the eating process. The home kitchen has thus become a new scenario for technology-enabled healthy living. More and more consumers are choosing to make their own bean sprouts at home, which is both a proactive response to food safety concerns and reflects a lifestyle of "returning to nature and embracing science."

[0004] Against this backdrop, how to leverage technology to achieve safe, controllable, nutritionally optimized, and intelligent management of family food ingredients has become an important issue for the future of healthy eating.

[0005] A patent document with publication number CN118171219A discloses a method for monitoring the growth status of mung bean sprouts, applied to a nutrient substrate incubator. The method includes: acquiring growth status characteristic parameters of mung bean sprouts, wherein the growth status characteristic parameters include color information, gas parameter information, and body surface information; acquiring color information and gloss information of mung bean sprouts based on color information, acquiring the appearance color of mung bean sprouts based on color information and gloss information, and extracting numerical values ​​of the appearance color of mung bean sprouts based on the LAB color space to obtain the appearance color growth coefficient. The VOC and ammonia content of the air in the growth area of ​​mung bean sprouts are obtained based on gas parameters. This is achieved using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and abnormal air quality molecular information is acquired based on the VOC and ammonia content. The content coefficients of these molecules are used as gas molecular coefficients. The surface temperature and humidity of the mung bean sprouts are obtained based on their surface information, and a comprehensive body temperature growth coefficient is derived. The appearance color growth coefficient, gas growth coefficient, and comprehensive body temperature growth coefficient are input into a mung bean sprout growth state model for training, resulting in a growth state coefficient. It is then determined whether this growth state coefficient falls within a preset range. If the growth state coefficient is outside this range, a corresponding correction command is generated. The growth state of the mung bean sprouts is then controlled based on the correction command.

[0006] However, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0007] 1. The “growth morphology coefficient” in this method is essentially a simple weighted sum (or product) of appearance color growth coefficient, gas growth coefficient, and comprehensive body temperature growth coefficient. It belongs to a linear combination model and lacks the ability to model nonlinear relationships, which makes it impossible to accurately determine the optimal harvesting period and predict the nutritional components of bean sprouts (vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids, etc.).

[0008] 2. This method relies on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to detect VOCs and ammonia, but the equipment is expensive (hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan), complex to operate, and requires professional maintenance, making it completely unsuitable for home use.

[0036] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] In the description of this application: unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., in this application are intended to distinguish the objects referred to and do not have any special meaning in terms of technical connotation (e.g., they should not be construed as an emphasis on importance or order). Expressions such as "including," "comprising," and "having" also mean "not limited to" (certain units, components, materials, steps, etc.).

[0038] The terms used in this application, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle," are generally used to indicate the general relative positional relationship for the purpose of intuitive understanding by referring to the accompanying drawings, and are not absolute limitations on the positional relationship in the actual product.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for monitoring bean sprout growth based on multi-parameter sensing, including:

[0041] S1: Acquire environmental parameters and growth images during the bean sprout growth process through multiple sensors and image acquisition devices; the multiple sensors include: temperature and humidity sensor, pH sensor, water quality sensor, soil moisture sensor, and photosensor.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment uses an SHT31 temperature and humidity sensor, an ADS1115 water quality probe (i.e., a water quality sensor), and a pH sensor to collect environmental parameters in real time, including temperature, humidity, pH value, and conductivity. Data is collected every 5 minutes, stored in a local buffer, and then uploaded to the cloud via WiFi+MQTT.

[0043] S2: Perform data preprocessing on environmental parameters and growth images, and extract environmental features and image recognition features; environmental features include at least one of the following: temperature-humidity product, average temperature, average humidity, standard deviation of temperature, standard deviation of humidity, average light intensity, and average total dissolved solids (i.e., average TDS);

[0044] Specifically, the preprocessing of environmental parameters includes: correcting and equalizing the collected temperature, humidity, water quality, and pH data, and removing constant values ​​(such as temperatures exceeding the 0-50°C range or pH values ​​exceeding the 0-14 range). Then, noise reduction is performed using wavelet filtering and Kalman filtering algorithms to eliminate bursty data caused by physical measurement market price and network interference, thereby removing interference signals caused by network interference and physical measurement interference to the greatest extent possible, and obtaining more stable and continuously updated temperature, humidity, and pH data.

[0045] Based on the preprocessed environmental parameters, the temperature-humidity product, average temperature, average humidity, standard deviation of temperature, and standard deviation of humidity are calculated as relevant feature vectors to more comprehensively describe the environmental state. Among them, the temperature-humidity product (T×H) represents the degree of complexity of the operating environment, which has a significant impact on the germination rate of mung beans; the average temperature and humidity reflect the basic state of the environment; and the standard deviation of temperature and humidity represents the stability of the environment, recording the fluctuations of the environment during the growth of mung beans.

[0046] When performing data preprocessing on growth images and extracting image recognition features, the process includes grayscale conversion, noise reduction, contour extraction, and extraction of image recognition features such as bud length, thickness, plant height, uniformity, color, and morphological density.

[0047] S3: Input environmental features and image recognition features into a pre-trained growth stage prediction model to predict the current growth stage and nutritional indicators of bean sprouts; growth stages include: initial stage, rapid growth stage, nutrient accumulation stage and harvest stage; nutritional indicators include the relative content of vitamin C and / or the enrichment level of polyphenols.

[0048] Specifically, the growth stage prediction model was trained using a random forest model (which effectively handles nonlinear relationships and has strong anti-overfitting ability). To obtain the core dataset required for model training, this embodiment conducted multiple sets of experiments to explore the influence of environmental variables on the bean sprout germination process, including the effects of key factors such as different temperatures (20, 25, 30°C), humidity (70%, 80%, 90%), and pH values ​​(6.0, 6.5, 7.0) on the germination rate and growth rate of mung bean sprouts.

[0049] To transform experimental data and theory into practically applicable prediction and control algorithms, this embodiment cleans, denoises, and extracts features (such as temperature and humidity fluctuation ranges) from the collected time-series data. Then, a random forest algorithm is used, with environmental data as input and growth status and nutrient tags as output, to train the prediction model. Finally, the model is evaluated and optimized to achieve intelligent decision-making.

[0050] In other words, the growth stage prediction model in this embodiment is trained based on an "environment-nutrient" dataset obtained through literature and experimental research methods. This dataset contains actual nutrient measurements of bean sprouts at various growth stages under different environmental conditions. By inputting the real-time collected environmental data into the trained random forest model, the model can output a prediction of the nutritional quality of bean sprouts in the next 12-24 hours, thereby determining whether the current stage is within the optimal harvest window.

[0051] In this embodiment, the growth stage prediction model predicts the growth stage and nutritional indicators based on the mapping relationship between environment and nutrition learned from the compressed dictionary. Specifically, the mapping relationship between environment and nutrition is as follows: when the ambient temperature is maintained at 25-30℃, the humidity is maintained at 70%~90%, and the pH value is maintained at 6.0-7.0, the bean sprouts reach their optimal growth capacity, and the nutritional components (such as vitamin C, polyphenols, etc.) reach more than 90% of the optimal control value.

[0052] In this embodiment, the growth stage prediction model uses environmental features and image recognition features as dual inputs. By combining environmental conditions with the actual appearance of the bean sprouts, it can achieve more accurate prediction of growth stage and nutritional indicators.

[0053] S4: Based on the predicted growth stage and nutritional indicators, determine whether it is the optimal harvest period and generate harvesting recommendations;

[0054] Specifically, at the optimal harvest time, bean sprouts are 4-5cm long, and their polyphenol and antioxidant activities reach their peak.

[0055] S5: When the predicted growth stage is the nutrient enrichment period and the nutrient indicators reach the preset threshold, the optimal harvest period is determined, and a harvest reminder is pushed to the user.

[0056] Specifically, when the model predicts that the mung beans have reached the "nutrient enrichment period" and the indicators meet the harvesting conditions, a "best harvesting time has been reached" push notification is sent through the cloud-app to remind users to harvest immediately.

[0057] This embodiment provides a method for monitoring bean sprout growth based on multi-parameter sensing, which also includes an abnormal alarm step: when the humidity is >95% and the temperature is >28°C for more than 2 hours, a high mold risk alarm is triggered; when the pH value is continuously below 5.5, a root metabolism abnormality alarm is triggered.

[0058] Specifically, an abnormal alarm is triggered by a germination abnormality warning model, which can identify risks such as rot and mold in advance. The germination abnormality warning model is a rule-based expert system. The rules include: (1) when the humidity is >95% and the temperature is >28°C for 2 consecutive hours, a "high mold risk" alarm is triggered; (2) when the pH value continues to drop and exceeds the normal range (e.g., <5.5), a "root metabolism abnormality" alarm is triggered; (3) it runs in parallel with the prediction model to provide users with timely risk intervention guidance.

[0059] The following experimental data further validates the bean sprout growth monitoring method based on multi-parameter sensing provided in this embodiment.

[0060] 1. Experimental groups: (1) Experimental group: Bean sprouts germinating using the method provided in this embodiment for monitoring and guidance. (2) Control group: Bean sprouts germinating according to conventional home experience methods.

[0061] 2. Experimental conditions: Both groups used the same batch of mung bean seeds, the same water source and germination container, and conducted a germination experiment for 21 days in the same indoor environment, with each group repeated 3 times.

[0062] The key indicators for the experimental group and the control group are shown in Table 1:

[0063] Table 1

[0064]

[0065] Results analysis:

[0066] 1. Reliability: The germination success rate of the experimental group was high and stable, and the decay rate was extremely low, which proved the effectiveness of the method in maintaining the optimal germination environment and preventing diseases.

[0067] 2. Bean sprout quality: The length and thickness of the radicle of the bean sprouts in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. This directly verifies that the harvesting recommendations based on algorithm prediction can accurately capture the growth peak. At the same time, based on the optimal peak period of nutrition in literature research, it helps users maximize the nutritional value.

[0068] 3. User experience: The complex germination process is simplified into clear data and explicit instructions, which greatly reduces the user's operational difficulty and psychological anxiety, and achieves the design goal of "peace of mind and ease".

[0069] The bean sprout growth monitoring method based on multi-parameter sensing provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0070] 1. Accurate prediction of nutrient peak and optimal harvest period: This embodiment uses nonlinear machine learning algorithms such as random forest to effectively fit the complex nonlinear relationship between environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, pH, etc.) and the nutrient components of bean sprouts (vitamin C, polyphenols, etc.), accurately capture the peak change pattern of nutrient components that first rise and then fall, thereby achieving intelligent and accurate prediction of the optimal harvest period, solving the problem that existing linear models cannot predict nutrient dynamics.

[0071] 2. Low cost and suitable for home use: This embodiment uses only low-cost commercial components such as the SHT31 temperature and humidity sensor and the ADS1115 pH sensor, without relying on expensive equipment such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The overall hardware cost is controlled at the hundred-yuan level. It is simple to operate and easy to maintain, and truly realizes intelligent monitoring of bean sprouts in home settings.

[0072] 3. High model accuracy and robustness: The random forest algorithm has the advantages of strong anti-overfitting ability and the ability to handle high-dimensional features (such as temperature and humidity product, fluctuation variance, etc.). Compared with the existing linear weighted summation model, the prediction accuracy is significantly improved.

[0073] Example 2

[0075] The data acquisition module is used to acquire environmental parameters and growth images during the growth process of bean sprouts through multiple sensors and image acquisition devices; the multiple sensors include: temperature and humidity sensor, pH sensor, water quality sensor, soil moisture sensor and photosensor;

[0076] The data preprocessing module is used to preprocess the environmental parameters and growth images, and extract environmental features and image recognition features; the environmental features include at least one of the following: temperature-humidity product, average temperature, average humidity, standard deviation of temperature, standard deviation of humidity, average light intensity, and average total dissolved solids.
