Description

Three-dimensional imaging device and method for linear laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of photoelectric detection and image processing, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional imaging device and method for linear laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. BACKGROUND

[0002] Chlorophyll fluorescence is a non-invasive detection method used to assess early indicators of photosynthesis in plants. Changes in chlorophyll fluorescence occur earlier than changes in chlorophyll content and plant structure. Therefore, it is widely used for photosynthesis detection and to study the growth conditions of plants under different stress conditions. Laser-induced chlorophyll fluorescence imaging methods do not require direct contact or harm to plants, and information is obtained by exciting the fluorescence signal emitted by chlorophyll. This non-invasive feature allows the method to monitor the physiological state of plants in real time and continuously without causing damage to the plants.

[0003] The existing three-dimensional chlorophyll fluorescence imaging device has the following disadvantages: devices using a single-point laser as an excitation light source require multiple point excitations for each leaf, which results in a measurement period of several hours, making it impossible for the device to monitor the chlorophyll fluorescence of the plant canopy in real time; devices using LED area light sources can cover a larger measurement area, but the large size of the lamp panel limits the portability and flexibility of the system. In addition, existing three-dimensional chlorophyll fluorescence detection methods use binocular camera principles to achieve registration between chlorophyll fluorescence images and point clouds, and the accuracy is affected by the relative position of the cameras and the accuracy of the calibration, so the practicability of the system is not strong.

[0046] After the measured leaf is placed on the measurement platform 10, the embedded computer 5 controls the step motor 3 to rotate, the linear laser light source device 7 to emit linear laser light, and the CMOS camera 1 to shoot in sequence. The rotation range of the step motor 3 is limited within 45° downward vertically, that is, taking the vertical line as the reference, the left side is negative and the right side is positive, the starting angle is set to -22.5°, and the terminal angle is set to 22.5°; starting from the starting angle, the step motor 3 is rotated at a step angle of 0.2°, and stops after each rotation; the linear laser light source device 7 emits linear laser light with a line width of 5mm according to the pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) measurement principle, irradiates the measured leaf, and the embedded computer 5 combines the measurement light, the saturation pulse light and the actinic light into a measurement period by using the PWM pulse width modulation technology. In the measurement period, the CMOS camera 1 completes multiple imaging and transmits to the embedded computer 5; after imaging, the step motor 3 continues to rotate at a step angle of 0.2°, continues to image, and stops until the rotation angle reaches 22.5°.

[0047] The principle of pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) measurement of linear laser, the PWM wave output by the embedded computer 5 controls the emission of linear laser light intensity and pulse frequency of the linear laser light source device 7. By changing the duty cycle of the PWM wave to drive the linear laser light source device 7 to realize the emission of measuring light, saturated pulse light and actinic light respectively. The PWM wave period is set to 800ms, and the duty cycles of measuring light, saturated pulse light and actinic light are set to 0.1%, 95% and 20% respectively, and the corresponding irradiation time is 0.8ms, 760ms and 160ms. The laser excitation sequence is set as follows: measuring light, saturated pulse light, measuring light, actinic light, measuring light, 9 times of continuous saturated pulse light, measuring light, and the CMOS camera 1 is triggered to shoot at the same time when the measuring light is emitted.

[0048] The embedded computer 5 performs multi-thread processing on the received images, extracts chlorophyll fluorescence lines in multiple images and splices them into a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf, calculates the fluorescence kinetic parameters, synthesizes a pseudo-color image according to the fluorescence kinetic parameters, extracts a three-dimensional point cloud according to the offset of the laser line pixel points, maps the pseudo-color image to the three-dimensional point cloud, and forms a three-dimensional point cloud data with fluorescence kinetic parameters.

[0049] The method of splicing into a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf is specifically: based on an image processing algorithm, threshold segmentation is performed on each image to extract chlorophyll fluorescence lines, all extracted chlorophyll fluorescence lines are placed on the canvas by traversing all images, and a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf is obtained.

[0050] The calculation of the fluorescence kinetic parameters is specifically: based on an image processing algorithm, a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf is subjected to multiplication operation to obtain a fluorescence region mask image; the pixel matrix of the mask image is accumulated to obtain the total number of leaf region pixel values num; the chlorophyll fluorescence image to be calculated is segmented with the fluorescence region mask image to obtain a segmented fluorescence image; the pixel matrix of the segmented fluorescence image is added to obtain the total sum of leaf region pixel values Data; and the total number of leaf region pixel values num and the total sum of leaf region pixel values Data are substituted into the formula to calculate the chlorophyll fluorescence parameter value corresponding to a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf, i.e. the fluorescence kinetic parameter. The specific process is shown in FIG. 4.

[0051] The chlorophyll fluorescence image to be calculated includes a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf under measuring light, a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf under saturated pulse light and a complete chlorophyll fluorescence image of a leaf under actinic light shot by the CMOS camera 1.

[0052] The fluorescence kinetic parameters include minimum fluorescence F0 under dark adaptation, maximum fluorescence Fm under dark adaptation, maximum fluorescence Fm under saturated pulse light, minimum fluorescence F0 under saturated pulse light, maximum fluorescence Fm under actinic light, minimum fluorescence F0 under actinic light, and the like.m Variable fluorescence F v PSII primary light energy conversion efficiency F v / F m Post-light adaptation steady-state fluorescence F, post-light adaptation maximum fluorescence F m PSII actual photosynthetic efficiency Y(II).

[0054] The following fluorescence kinetic parameters are parameters under light adaptation: when calculating F, select the chlorophyll fluorescence image of the complete leaf under the actinic light, and obtain the specific value according to the calculation steps of the fluorescence kinetic parameters; when calculating F m ', select the chlorophyll fluorescence image of the complete leaf under the saturating pulse light after the actinic light, and obtain the specific value according to the calculation steps of the fluorescence kinetic parameters; when calculating Y(II), the formula is (F m '-F) / F m '.

[0055] The method for synthesizing the pseudo-color image is specifically: based on an image processing algorithm, setting the fluorescence kinetic parameter range to 0-1, and converting the fluorescence kinetic parameter into a 0-255 RGB pseudo-color image.

[0056] The extraction of the three-dimensional point cloud is specifically: based on an image processing algorithm, extracting all the chlorophyll fluorescence images under the saturating pulse light when the laser line is irradiated on each position of the to-be-measured leaf, and arranging the picture sequence in the same direction as the laser line scanning direction; analyzing each picture in the picture sequence, and extracting the center line of the laser line in the picture; the line laser is irradiated to the surface of the to-be-measured leaf, and is deformed due to the modulation of the surface height, so that the pixel coordinates of the extracted center line in each picture are converted to the reference coordinate system, and the x and y in the reference coordinate system are solved, and the x and y are input to the light plane equation in the reference coordinate system, so that the point cloud depth information is inversed, and then the x and y and the offset of the laser line pixel point in the next picture are added to obtain the real reference coordinates of the point cloud.

[0058] Embodiment 2

[0059] Since the working mode of rotating the three-prism 2 by the stepper motor 3 to refract the linear laser in embodiment 1 is only applicable to relatively low plants (lower than 50 cm); when a relatively high plant (50 cm-100 cm) is photographed, the width of the linear laser irradiated on the plant leaf will change due to the change of the rotation angle, which is not conducive to the synthesis of the chlorophyll fluorescence image of a complete leaf. Therefore, in this embodiment, the linear laser light source device 7 is translated by the electric sliding rail 8 to offset the change of the width of the linear laser irradiated on the plant leaf due to the change of the rotation angle.

[0060] The working process of the device in this embodiment is: adjusting the linear laser light source device 7 arranged horizontally to an angle of θ with the vertical line, the range of θ is-10°-0°, and the preferred value of this embodiment is-10°, as shown in FIG. 2; after the leaf to be measured is placed on the measurement platform 10, the embedded computer 5 sequentially emits linear laser by the linear laser light source device 7 and photographs by the CMOS camera 1. The linear laser light source device 7 emits linear laser with a width of 5 mm according to the pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) measurement principle, and irradiates the leaf to be measured. The embedded computer 5 combines the measurement light, the saturated pulse light and the actinic light into a measurement cycle by using the PWM pulse width modulation technology. In the measurement cycle, the CMOS camera 1 completes multiple imaging and transmits to the embedded computer 5. After imaging, the electric sliding rail 8 slides to the left (towards the CMOS camera 1) by 5 mm, and continues to measure until the entire measurement platform 10 is scanned.

[0061] After the measurement is completed, the embedded computer 5 processes the images in the same way as in embodiment 1.

[0062] Embodiments 1 and 2 are both descriptions of working mode 1.

[0063] Embodiment 3

[0064] This embodiment is a description of working mode 2.

[0065] The CMOS camera 1 can convert the line light source into a surface light source in the long exposure shooting mode, and can convert the chlorophyll fluorescence excited by the single laser line into a chlorophyll fluorescence image of the whole leaf while the laser line scans the whole leaf.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 1, after the to-be-measured leaf is placed on the measurement platform 10, the embedded computer 5 controls the rotation of the stepping motor 3, the emission of the linear laser light source device 7, and the shooting of the CMOS camera 1. The rotation range of the stepping motor 3 is limited within 45° vertically downward, the exposure time of the CMOS camera 1 is set to 10 s, the time for the stepping motor 3 to rotate from -22.5° to 22.5° is set to 10 s, and the linear laser light source device 7 is set to work at the maximum power. When the stepping motor 3 starts to rotate, the shooting of the CMOS camera 1 and the emission of the linear laser light source device 7 are triggered at the same time, and the scanning and long exposure imaging of the to-be-measured leaf are completed within 10 s. Subsequently, the CMOS camera 1 is set to the video acquisition mode, the stepping motor 3 rotates from 22.5° to -22.5°, the acquisition of the three-dimensional original image is completed, and the three-dimensional original image is sent to the embedded computer 5.

[0067] The embedded computer 5 performs multi-thread processing on the received image, calculates the real-time fluorescence parameter according to the long exposure image (the chlorophyll fluorescence image of the whole leaf), and synthesizes the pseudo-color image according to the real-time fluorescence parameter. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional point cloud is extracted according to the offset of the laser line pixel point, and finally the pseudo-color image is mapped to the three-dimensional point cloud to form the three-dimensional point cloud data with the real-time fluorescence parameter. The processes of pseudo-color image synthesis, three-dimensional point cloud extraction, and mapping of the pseudo-color image to the three-dimensional point cloud are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0068] The calculation of the real-time fluorescence parameter is the same as the calculation of the fluorescence kinetic parameter, but when the real-time fluorescence F t is calculated, the to-be-measured leaf does not need to be dark adapted, and the long exposure image is calculated according to the image algorithm process in FIG. 4 to obtain the parameter F t ; when the maximum fluorescence F m in the dark adaptation state is calculated, the to-be-measured leaf needs to be dark adapted, and the long exposure image is calculated according to the image algorithm process in FIG. 4 to obtain the parameter F m .

[0069] The embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and any obvious improvement, replacement, or modification made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
