基于图像检测的茶叶含水率检测烘干系统
The image-based tea moisture content detection and drying system utilizes a dual-model architecture of YOLOv5 and an interpretable surrogate model to achieve real-time and accurate detection and temperature control of tea moisture content. This solves the problems of unstable tea drying quality and high equipment costs in small and medium-sized tea gardens, and reduces equipment investment and maintenance difficulty.

AI Technical Summary
Existing tea drying technology relies on manual experience and lacks real-time and objectivity, resulting in inaccurate detection of tea moisture content. Furthermore, fixed temperature modes cannot adapt to the differentiated drying needs at different moisture content stages, leading to unstable tea quality. This is especially problematic in small and medium-sized tea gardens where equipment costs are high or maintenance is complex.
A tea moisture content detection and drying system based on image detection is adopted, including a visual acquisition module, a depth recognition module, a data platform module, and a drying intelligent control module. The system uses a YOLOv5 object detection-classification joint model and an interpretable surrogate model to detect the moisture content of tea. Images are acquired in real time through industrial cameras, and a dual-model architecture of basic classification network and interpretable surrogate model is constructed to achieve accurate detection of tea moisture content and temperature control.
It enables real-time and accurate detection of tea moisture content and temperature control, reduces equipment costs, adapts to the actual budget and operation and maintenance capabilities of small and medium-sized tea garden production lines, provides interpretable prediction results, facilitates process optimization and quality traceability, and avoids over-drying or under-drying.
