Detailed Implementation
[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0018] Example: Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution, an in-situ monitoring device for nitrogen content in wheat canopy based on multispectral technology, which realizes real-time, accurate and low-power monitoring of nitrogen content in wheat, including a multispectral acquisition module, an intelligent power management module, a data processing and communication module, a cloud service platform and a mobile terminal APP; The multispectral acquisition module is used to collect raw three-band spectral data of the wheat canopy. The intelligent power management module adopts intelligent power gating management technology to monitor the battery charging and discharging and power in real time. The data processing and communication module preprocesses and analyzes the collected raw data and uploads the data to the cloud server through remote wireless communication. The cloud service platform receives and stores monitoring data, runs nitrogen content prediction models, provides data support for mobile terminals, and the mobile terminal APP displays wheat canopy vegetation index and leaf nitrogen content prediction values in real time, providing monitoring suggestions to users. Monitoring devices are installed in the field at different growth stages of wheat. The collection angle and height are adjusted. After the device is started, the multispectral acquisition module collects canopy spectral data at regular intervals, the intelligent power management module dynamically manages the power supply, and the data processing module performs noise reduction preprocessing on the raw data, calculates the vegetation indices NDVI and RVI, and uploads the data to the cloud service platform. The cloud service platform calls the optimized prediction model to calculate the predicted value of nitrogen content and feeds it back to the mobile terminal APP. Users can view real-time data and management suggestions through the APP.
[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the above technical solution, the multispectral acquisition module uses three specific wavelength bands of light source and sensor. The light source intensity is adjustable. When selecting the light source wavelength, customized high-energy light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with center wavelengths of 680nm, 720nm, and 760nm are used as the light source to achieve all-weather detection. The wavelength is further screened and detected by integrating sphere to ensure that the center wavelength of the LEDs of the same wavelength arranged in a ring is consistent, thereby improving the accuracy of the characteristic signal of the emitted light source from the source. When the light source signal is modulated at high frequency, the wheat canopy monitoring scenario is in the field, which is greatly affected by factors such as sunlight and wind speed. Pulse width modulation (PWM) technology is used, along with a high-sensitivity, high-resolution photomultiplier tube as a detector to capture the canopy reflection signal. By designing a high-frequency electronic switch, the circuit can start and stop the LED at high frequency to generate a pulsed light signal, which causes the photovoltaic cell to generate a square wave response signal with the same modulation frequency, thereby increasing the data acquisition frequency. By optimizing the integration time, the amount of data acquired within a certain period of time can be adjusted, reducing the influence of external interference factors. When selecting a condenser lens, the current crop canopy diagnostic photosensitive lens uses a fisheye lens. A fisheye lens is an extreme lens with a short focal length, a wide angle of view, and thick lenses. The light passing through it is easily distorted and has a large light loss. The integrated recessed three-band six-source sensor photoelectric system uses Fresnel lenses to collimate and focus the light path, which improves the light intensity and uniformity, while reducing the loss caused by light scattering. The outer layer of the reflected signal acquisition layer is equipped with a lower cutoff extinction filter to eliminate interference from sunlight with wavelengths of 670nm and below. Design an efficient and stable light source driving circuit to ensure the stability and consistency of the light source output intensity.

In addition, it supports historical data query and trend analysis to assist agricultural production management, and to conduct application and demonstration of monitoring devices in wheat planting bases to verify the performance and practicality of the devices.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for in-situ monitoring of nitrogen content in wheat canopy based on multispectral technology includes the following steps: Step 1: Data Acquisition and Preprocessing; Step 2, vegetation index calculation; Step 3: Model building and optimization; Step 4: Device parameter adjustment; Step 5: Real-time monitoring and data presentation.

The processing includes fractional-order differentiation of the original spectrum to suppress high-frequency noise, and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to eliminate baseline drift and background interference, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
[0025] Based on the above technical solution, in step two, the normalized vegetation index (NDVI) and ratio vegetation index (RVI) are calculated based on the preprocessed spectral data to reflect the canopy chlorophyll content and coverage. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI1): NDVI1 = (ρ760 - ρ680) / (ρ760 + ρ680) ; NDVI2 = (ρ720 - ρ680) / (ρ720 + ρ680) ; Ratio vegetation indices: RVI1 = ρ760 / ρ680; RVI2 = ρ720 / ρ680; In addition, a comprehensive feature vector is constructed by combining other auxiliary parameters to enhance the amount of information in the model input. Other auxiliary parameters include canopy temperature and soil moisture. Step 3: Establish a mathematical model of vegetation index and laboratory nitrogen content analysis, optimize the model by combining deep learning algorithm, and perform cross-validation through multi-view image data. When establishing the initial model, a large number of raw three-band data of wheat samples were collected. The raw spectra were first processed by fractional derivative, followed by noise reduction and preprocessing algorithms using continuous wavelet transform. The normalized vegetation index (NDVI) and ratio vegetation index (RVI) of the three-band reflectance combination were calculated. The nitrogen content of wheat leaves was determined by laboratory chemical analysis. A mathematical model of vegetation index and nitrogen content was established. The mathematical model was a linear regression model. The quantitative relationship between wheat canopy reflectance spectrum and leaf nitrogen content was fitted to the experimental data. Finally, a suitable vegetation index was selected to construct the prediction model. Furthermore, at different growth stages of wheat, drones equipped with hyperspectral cameras were used to capture images of the canopy of different wheat varieties at different heights and angles, obtaining multi-view image data.

Specifically, field trials were conducted under different weather conditions, including sunny, cloudy, and post-rain, to record the effects of light source intensity, luminous efficiency, beam detection angle, integration time, and temperature and humidity changes on the data. At the same time, technical parameters were adjusted to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range. Furthermore, during the optimization of device stability, the device stability was evaluated through repeated measurements, with the number of repeated measurements being ≥30. The Kalman filter algorithm was used to suppress random errors, and calibration was performed for different wheat varieties to establish a variety-specific compensation model. The wheat varieties included winter wheat and spring wheat.
