Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop monitoring equipment technology, specifically to an in-situ monitoring device for crop canopy phenotypic characteristics based on an image sensor. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of global agricultural technology, precision agriculture and smart agriculture have become development trends. In-situ monitoring of crop canopy phenotyping, as an innovative technology in modern agriculture, is changing the way people observe and manage crops. Through real-time monitoring and data analysis, precise crop management can be achieved, improving agricultural production efficiency and sustainability.

[0003] A crop canopy in-situ growth phenotypic monitoring device, with application number "CN201920698212.X", can acquire morphological and structural data of the top, interior, and bottom of the crop canopy by setting up a data acquisition and collection module at the top of the canopy, an image acquisition module inside the canopy, and a fisheye lens at the bottom of the canopy. The height and angle of the image acquisition module inside the canopy are adjustable, which makes the morphological and structural data inside the canopy richer. In the end, the monitoring of the growth phenotypic of the crop canopy is more accurate, more comprehensive, and has good universality.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned devices still have the following obvious drawbacks when in use: When monitoring, the devices rely on external power sources for power supply. In remote areas or places lacking power infrastructure, the usage time and stability of the devices will be limited, affecting the effectiveness of long-term monitoring. Utility Model Content
