Abstract: Characterization of three source clay minerals, illite, kaolin and montmorillonite, were made using three mid-infrared spectroscopic techniques (attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR), transmittance spectroscopy, and photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS)). For the FTIR transmittance spectra, there are three main absorption regions: 3000-3800 cm-1, 1300-1800 cm-1, and 500-1200 cm-1, and sharp differences can be found in each region. For the FTIR-ATR spectra, there are absorptions with main difference in the region of 800-1200 cm-1. For the FTIR-PAS spectra, there are also three similar absorption regions as FTIR transmittance spectra. However more information is found in the FTIR-PAS spectra comparing with FTIR transmittance absorptions. The FTIR-PAS was applied to identify three soil types and the results revealed that: Hailun soil was characterized as montmorillonite type soil with medium calcium carbonate content, Changwu soil was characterized as montmorillonite/illite type soil with high calcium carbonate content, and Qiyang soil was characterized as kaolin type soil with low calcium carbonate content.

Abstract: According to the requirements for precision agriculture applications, the commonly-used node power supply in sensor networks and its characteristics are analyzed. To extend the node lifecycle powered by ordinary dry-cell batteries, an application layer operated node dormant/synchronization mechanism is proposed and a duty cycle computing method depending on the node lifecycle expectation and data acquisition demands is also provided, based on the node energy analysis. Finally, this dormant/synchronization mechanisms is realized on actual sensor networks nodes, and a large number of experiments were executed at Xiaotangshan agricultural bases of the National Engineering Research Center for Information Technology in Agriculture. The experimental results show that the node with dormant design increases its lifetime from about 150 hours to more than one year.

Abstract: With the aim to achieve the quantified and visualized expression of crop growth, taking corn as an example, a simulation framework, which integrated parametric keyframe animation with the skeleton model was proposed. At first, a skeleton model for its topological structure was adopted, which was defined based on a precise geometric model. The dynamic creation of the parabolic curve of blade midrib integrated time variant was used to stimulate the elongation of leaf skeleton. With parametric keyframe technique, of which each keyframe parameters was acquired from the observed data or the output of corn growth model, the animation could be obtained by manual interaction. Experimental results showed that the proposed method could simulate the basic movements of corn growth visually with highly realistic rendering effects. It provides a simple and general dynamic process simulation for plant growth.

Abstract: Field information collection is the key technology of precision agriculture. To obtain the yield information, an impact-type grain flow sensor is developed for the yield monitor system. The grain flow sensor consists of a mechanical unit and an electrical unit. The mechanical unit is composed of an impact plate, a sensitive bar, some strain gauges, etc. The strain gauges are stuck on the sensitive bar. When grain flow impacts the plate, the bar bends and the bridge circuit consisted of the strain gauges outputs electrical signal. The output of the sensor is voltage signal. On the basis of the static experiments and indoor experiments, field experiments are finished in Baoding of Hebei Province and Jiamusi of Heilongjiang Province. Harvesting crops are wheat and rice. The results show that the sensor has higher linear property and the accuracy meets the requirements of the precision agriculture.

Abstract: A novel technique of fault diagnosis on greenhouse environment control system (GECS) was developed for more reliability. Major faults of actuators, sensors, switch board and control software in GECS were analyzed and listed. All GECS faults were divided into four grades according to their damage levels, and were treated respectively with different strategies and solutions. Two working modes, 'fast fault diagnosis' and 'complete fault diagnosis', were proposed to meet the requirement of both higher accuracy and rapidness. The idea of one-key setting was applied for different users. The intelligent programming was completed to carry out the fault diagnosis on GECS. The test results show that the faults are correctly detected and identified.

Abstract: The ratio of the single seedings, which is effected by the coefficient of the absorbing seeds directly, is an important parameter. The purpose of this paper is to design the variable control system for precision magnetic drum-seeder. In order to enhance the sowing efficiency, the roller is made speed-down when it is absorbing seeds, whereas it is made speed-up when it has absorbed or is sowing seeds. The variable control system embodies a F2812DSP controller, a PS2 keyboard and a photoelectricity sensor. Experiment shows that the efficiency has been raised by 16% and the ratio of single seedings is over 95%, when the speed of absorbing seeds is up to 16 r/min and the speed of absorbed and sowing seeds is up to 20 r/min.

Abstract: A new mathematical model for detecting the contents of chlorophyll, nitrogen and water of plants at the same time was established. Combined with the theory of spectroscopy, a portable meter for detecting the contents of chlorophyll, nitrogen and water in crop leaves was developed, which could avoid the error caused by different measuring time and different measuring location on the leaves when the three measuring parameters were accomplished by different instruments. The measurement result could give a better suggestion to precision fertilization and irrigation. The developed meter was composed of NIR (near infrared) LED (light emitting diode), interference filter, photodetector and microprocessor system.

Abstract: The root is an important plant organ for nutrient and water uptake from the surrounding soil. To solve the technical problem of 3-D observation for plant roots in situ, sequence images of plant roots in situ were acquired at first with using X-ray CT scanner, and then the 3-D visualization of roots in situ was implemented in computer using image and graph processing methods. In order to improve the accuracy of segmenting root CT images, a compositive segmentation algorithm was proposed and implemented based on the spatial geometrical and morphological features of root systems. The algorithm could clean markedly up the pixels of non-root regions of which the gray levels were very similar to roots regions and the positions were very closed to roots regions. 3-D surface models of plant roots were reconstructed with marching cubes (MC) algorithm, and 3-D visualization of plant roots in situ was implemented with the tool box of VTK. It was proved by programming experiment that the approach and methods proposed were feasible and effective for 3-D visualization of plant roots in situ.

Abstract: Mid-infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was used to determine total sugar content in Chinese rice wine. A total of 30 samples were collected. Calibration models were developed in the range of 1000 cm-1 to 1500 cm-1 and 2500 cm-1 to 3000 cm-1 to exclude the influence of water absorption. Stepwise multiple regression (SMLR), principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares regression (PLSR) were used to develop the models in TQ analyst software. And derivative pretreatment method was used to test the impact of accuracy of the models established. The best model was obtained by PLSR with second-order derivative pretreatment. The correlation coefficient of cross validation (rcv) was 0.984, RMSECV to 0.765 g/L, RPD to 5.75. The result indicates that mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR), combined with chemometric methods, can be used as a fast, simple and exact method to measure total sugar content in Chinese rice wine.

Abstract: The performance of a newly-developed portable rapid detector of contamination in fruits and vegetables (PRD) was tested in lab, by detecting the content of nitrite, heavy metal and pesticide in different samples. The detection ranges of nitrite, lead, phoxim, trichlorfon, carbofuran and methomyl were 1.5-150, 0.5-4.0, 0.005-2.0, 0.005-0.5, 0.005-0.3 and 0.005-1.0 μg/mL, respectively. Precision tests, made on different concentration levels, gave values of RSD in the ranges of 2.6%-8.9% for lead, and less than 2% for nitrite, and the sensitivity of the four pesticides ranged from 31.368 to 62.05. The results show that the accuracy and precision detecting the three kinds of contamination can meet the requirement of rapid detection compared with Optizen 2120V-FT machine. The PRD is more simple, rapid, portable and feasible for application.

Abstract: The droplet size distribution is evaluated by image processing. The traces of the captured droplet on water-sensitive papers are detected by a camera and then sent for segment and evaluation by a specially developed program. An improved GLV algorithm is used to separate the conglutinated droplets and compute their size data comparing to the discrete droplets. Comparison experiments are conducted to measure the droplet size distribution by a laser particle size analyzer. The evaluation result shows that the error between the data set given by image process and the data set from laser analyzer is less than 6%.

Abstract: An orchard tracked mobile robot was developed in order to raise automation level of orchard management, improve operation efficiency, and reduce the intensity of operation. A navigation method based on the slider-crank mechanism was developed, and a fuzzy PID controller was designed, which used the attitude angle and position angle of the robot guiding mechanism as the input parameters. The experiments showed that the robot could travel in a straight line with a maximum lateral error of 0.02 m when the robot moved at the speed of 0.15 m/s, and the maximum0.05 m when the turning radius was 2 m.

Abstract: Since the positioning accuracy of low accuracy GPS can not meet the requirements of agricultural production, a new navigation method is studied to improve the position accuracy. The compensate model is built to compensate for the libration caused by the antenna. A Kalman filter is developed, and a VRS-based receiver is used as the low accuracy GPS. The Kalman filter is applied to the data collected from the low accuracy GPS, compass and speed sensor. The data set collected from the RTK-GPS is used as a baseline to evaluate the performance of the filter. Experiment results indicated that the mean error was reduced from 1.6019 m to 0.597 m straight line track, and from 1.2085 m to 0.4861 m in curve track.

Abstract: The nondestructive discrimination of the shelled chestnuts was studied with near infrared spectra, which could provide a new method for quality detection of other shelled agricultural products. 178 chestnut samples were prepared and the diffuse spectral reflectance of the samples were collected in the wave number range of 12000-4000 cm-1. First, six preprocessing methods including smooth, vector normalization, min-max normalization, standard normal variate transformation, multiplication scattering correction and first derivative were used to improve the original spectrum. Then, principal component analysis was applied to compress thousands of spectral data into several variables and to collect spectral information. The principal components extracted by PCA were employed as the inputs of the BP neural networks. Effects of the six preprocessing methods on the models based on BP neural network were compared. The results show that prediction precision varied to different preprocessing methods. The optimum network structure of 7-4-1 was obtained after vector normalization method. Discriminating rate of qualified chestnut, surface moldy chestnut and internal moldy chestnut in prediction reached 94.74%, 94.44% and 92.31%, respectively.

Publisher: Chinese Society of Agricultural Machinery, No. 1 Beishatan Deshengmen Wai, Beijing, 100083, Chinadetermine the freshness of bee pollen, visible and near infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy combined with least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) was applied to identify the samples of bee pollen under the different storage temperature. Five storage temperatures including -20, 4, 15, 25 and 40°C were set. The Camellia pollens stored for 60 days at different set temperatures were investigated. Spectra were acquired by an ASD fieldspec spectrometer. As the pretreatments of the optimal smoothing way, moving average with three segments and multiplication scatter correction (MSC) were applied to reduce the noise of the spectra. After the principle component analysis of the spectra from 400 to 1000 nm, 4 to 20 principal components (PCs) were chosen as the inputs of LS-SVM models. Results show that the rp2 of the LS-SVM model with 20 PCs was more than 0.9919 in validation set, and was better than the traditional PLS model. The results also indicated that the PCs could reflect and represent the main characteristics of bee pollens stored at different temperatures, and the LS-SVM model could be used to discriminate the samples of bee pollen under the different storage temperature.

Abstract: An autonomous navigation system based on machine vision for agricultural vehicle was studied. A novel line detection algorithm was proposed for navigation directrix detection, which could decrease the cost of memory and time considerably. A 2-D fuzzy controller with the inputs of lateral error and heading error was built to determine the expected angle of turning wheel, and a turning controller based on PID was constructed to control the turning of front wheel. The simplified kinematics model of two-wheel vehicle was adopted for simulation. The results of simulation and experiments indicated that the navigation system could track the desired beeline path effectively. The maximum tracking lateral error was less than 5 cm and 8 cm at the speed of 0.3 m/s and 0.6 m/s respectively, and the average lateral error was less than 2 cm and 4 cm respectively.

Abstract: It is a big problem for China to have not enough workforces in picking tea sprout today, which usually result in missing the tea sprout's optimum picking period. The picking machine currently used improves the picking efficiency indeed. However, the old leaves are picked together with the sprout, and the sprout is damaged at some time. Hence it is necessary to develop an intelligent picking machine that can recognize and pick the sprout with the minimum sprout damage. This paper presents an image process method based on the tea sprout color and shape features, which was used to recognize the ″Wuzi Xianhao″ (a famous green tea of Shaanxi, China) tea sprout grown at Xixiang County of Shaanxi Province. Firstly, the green component of the tea leaf image in RGB color space was extracted. Secondly, green component image was segmented using double threshold method. Finally, the edge of tea sprout is detected according to its shape feature. Experimental results indicate that this recognizing method of the tea sprout based on color and shape features can reach the right detection rate of 94%, and provide an effective method for automatic tea sprout picking.

Abstract: Soil deep loosening operation can break the hard-pan without flipping the soil. It can effectively improve the water and air permeability performance of the soil, and provide a broader space to the plant roots. To solve the existing problems, such as insufficient loosening depth, big tillage resistance and the power consumption for general types of deep loosening machines, a new type of the lever vibrating ripper is developed. The ripper is consist of five main parts, the stander, eccentric axis, crisscross connector, deep loosening shovels and wheels for depth control. The crisscross connector makes this machine achieve double vibrations. The power is transmitted effectively and tersely by the gimbal and the lever, which can enlarge the vibration displacement and increase amplitude with the increasing deep tillage. The form of shovels is narrow chisel-type so that it can maximize the protection of the soil and reduce the moisture evaporation. Contrastiveimpact of vibration on the traction resistance. The experimental results indicate that the operation traction resistance can be reduced 13%-18%.

Abstract: The thermal conductivity probe system has been used in food. However, since the probe system is derived from an idealized transient heat transfer model, there are inevitable differences between the real probe and the theoretical model. The test error resulted by some experimental operating parameters including input voltage, heating time of thermal probe and size of sample was studied. The best values of input voltage, heating time of thermal probe and size of sample were obtained to minimize the test error. The optimal value for input voltage of thermal probe is in the range of 2.5-6.5 V, and the optimal heating time of thermal probe is in the range of 20-50 s. And then the thermal conductivities of tomato fruits at different ripeness stage were measured. The experimental data can give a reference for storage and process of tomato industry.

Abstract: An automatic guidance system was developed on KUBOTA SPU-68 rice transplanter using Trimble 5700 RTK-DGPS and Crossbow AHRS500GA-227. RTK-DGPS positioning data was corrected using the heading, roll and pitch parameters acquired from AHRS500GA. A Kalman filter based on position-velocity model was developed to smooth the corrected DGPS positioning data and evaluate the bias error of the heading angle. A new trajectory tracking control method was proposed based on pure pursuit model. The determination method of the look-ahead distance was studied in detail for line tracking. Simulation result indicated that the optimized look-ahead distance could be determined for a special traveling speed based on the ITAE optimization. The test result showed that the proposed positioning and orientation evaluation algorithm could eliminate the effects of uneven field condition on GPS positioning and evaluate the bias error of the heading angle from AHRS online. The developed trajectory tracking controller was helpful to improve the tracking control performance. The maximal lateral tracking error could be kept within a range of ±0.17 m and the mean lateral tracking error was less than 0.02 m at the normal traveling speed.

Abstract: An auto threshold adaptive algorithm is suggested for image segmentation of the eggplant images acquired in natural light. The segmentation is conducted with the gray-scale, three orthogonal feature vectors based on R, G, B's linear transformation, and the hue component of HSV color model. The experiment result of the segmentation with Matlab shows that the target and background have a good separation based on Otsu algorithm and the optimization of the gray-scale histogram. However, it is also observed that there is the impact of area light reflection on the region of eggplant surface. A new segmentation experiment based on improved Otsu algorithm is conducted with the color feature vector of (2G-R-B)/4 and the result shows that the new algorithm can partially eliminate the impact of light reflection. Finally, the improved Otsu algorithm with hue are tried in the segmentation and the result shows the impact of light reflection completely is effectively removed. The segmentation effect is further improved by removing the noise of hue-segmented binary image through mathematical morphology.

Abstract: In order to evaluate the leveling performance of the paddy field leveling machine, the inclination of the harrow was measured using two SensComp 600 ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors were fixed on the harrow's end, and distances of each harrow's end to referenced horizontal were measured to calculate the gradient angle of the harrow. Some factors having effect on the measurement of the gradient angle were analyzed, such as the distance measured by the ultrasonic sensors, the measuring angles of the sensor, and the movement of the sensors. Then the angle was compared with the data from an attitude-heading reference system AHRS500GA-226 device. The results showed that the calculated inclination was quite accurate. The maximum static-error and the maximum dynamic-error were 0.08° and 1.00° respectively. Finally, estimating experiments were conducted in a laboratory. Based on the evaluation results, it was concluded that the leveling control system could measure the inclination real-time and exactly, and the whole leveling system works reliably.

Abstract: Variable rate irrigating hill-seeder can automatically adjust the amount of the irrigating water according to the variation in soil moisture content in the field to alleviate drought and save water. Mathematical models for minimizing water application and determining the control time of the electromagnetic valve are developed. Static experiment is conducted with the developed variable rate irrigating hill seeder. Changing water amount in tank and irrigating time, the water amount ejected from the electromagnetic valve varies. The mathematical models for the control time of the electromagnetic valve are established based on the relations among water amount in tank, irrigating time and water amount supplied using linear regression and artificial neural networks. Regression results show that the adjusted coefficients of determination for the linear regression models are 0.992, 0.991 and 0.998 when the tank is 100% full, 1/2 full and 1/8 full, respectively. A 2-5-1 artificial neural network is used to predict irrigating time. The network provides high prediction accuracy with a maximum deviation of 3.95 ms and an average deviation of 1.46 ms.

Abstract:To solve the problem of multi-focus image fusion, a new multi-focus image fusion algorithm based on the visual perception feature was proposed. Because the threshold of human visual contrast sensitivity was proportional to the image background brightness, the visual uniform parameter was adopted to separate clear objects from fuzzy objects obtained by different image sensors. Firstly, the image was decomposed at RGB level separately. Secondly, the R, G, B single gray image was divided into sub-blocks. Thirdly, the sub-blocks with higher uniform value were selected as the corresponding sub-blocks of fusion image. Then, the retained sub-blocks were reconstructed to compose the fusion image. The immune genetic algorithm was applied to calculate the optimal number of sub-blocks, and the image quality criterion data, root-mean-square error and image entropy, were chosen as the affinity function of the optimal algorithm. The results have shown that the image fusion algorithm proposed was suitable to multi-focus image fusion and easy to realize.

Abstract: Weighted fuzzy clustering algorithm is proposed and applied in management zones of soil nutrients. In the algorithm, the determination of the weight of different soil nutrients is a key step. Two methods are used to determine the weight. One is the principal component analysis (PCA). The other is coefficient of variation (C. V). To verify above methods, soil nutrients of N, P, K were sampled at the experimental site, a field in Yushu City of Jilin Province, and then the weighted fuzzy clustering algorithm was used and the number of the management zones was determined. The effectiveness of the weighted fuzzy clustering method was validated by comparing with the traditional fuzzy clustering method. The results show that the weighted fuzzy clustering method is more reasonable and more practical and can be used to support precision fertilization.

Abstract: To inspect weight and growth of pigs in real time, an web-based inspecting system based on binocular stereovision technology was developed. Hardware and software related to this inspecting system were established in laboratory condition. The calibration algorithm with non-linear camera model and coordinate inspecting arithmetic based on least square methods was developed. Calibration mode about different numbers, parts and rotating angle of the calibration board images was collected and the inspecting results were analyzed. Results showed that more than 19 calibration board images should be used to get steady system parameters. Collecting the calibration images in all parts of inspecting zone could improve the inspecting precision. There was no obvious difference in inspecting precision at different rotating angle, but a large rotating angle was not conducive to extract all coordinates of the calibration points.

Abstract: Zero-drift of the grain flow sensor leads to a significant error when the combine harvester tilted. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of combine harvester tilt on the zero-drift of the impact-based grain flow sensor, and propose an innovated grain flow sensor that can stabilize zero-drift when combine harvester titled. With the single plate impact-based grain flow sensor fixed in a combine harvester, the zero-drift voltage of the grain flow sensor is recorded while the combine harvester tilted between -15° and 15°. The test result shows that there is a linear relationship between the zero-drift and the obliquity, and the zero-drift voltage is 25.4 mV when the combine harvester tilted at 15°. A dual-plate differential impact-based grain flow sensor is developed to compensate the zero drift. The tilt experimental results show that the zero-drift of the two plates are consistent each other, and thus the overall zero-drift voltage of the sensor is reduced from 25.4 mV to 1 mV.

Abstract:The experimental area was selected in Lingxian County of Shandong Province. Based on the GPS positioning data, soil moisture content, chlorophyll content and wheat dry matter production was measured. Geostatistical analysis was conducted combined with geographical information system (GIS) and the semivariogram models were established. It was found that a spherical model fit semivariogram model of soil moisture content better, and a Gaussian model was the better model for wheat chlorophyll content and dry matter production. The results showed soil moisture content and wheat chlorophyll content had the strong spatial autocorrelation, and the ratio of structural variation was 97.3% and 81.3%. Wheat dry matter production has the medium spatial autocorrelation, and the structural variation was 50%. Block Kriging was applied, and the spatial distributing maps and maps of standard deviation of Kriging estimates were drawn. From the distribution types, it was observed that the Kriging estimates maps of soil moisture content and wheat chlorophyll content had obvious slabby and plaques characteristics while the map of wheat dry matter production had ribbon characteristics.

Abstract: An apple recognition method based on K-means algorithm is proposed for the green apples that have similar color with leaves. The image is divided into 8 × 8 pixel blocks and the block is taken as the segmentation unit by the algorithm. Color difference R-B was selected as color feature and mean value, standard deviation and regional entropy of gray scale images are selected as texture features. The feature vectors including color feature and texture features are extracted. Gap statistic is applied to calculate the best number of the clusters. The recognition experiment is conducted to test the algorithm with 200 sample images taken in different illumination conditions. The experimental results show that the apple fruits can be recognized successfully both in front light conditions and back light conditions. The recognition rate reaches 81%.

Abstract: Obstacle detection is a key component of autonomous systems. A obstacle detection method combined monocular vision and stereo vision is studied for the vision navigated combine harvester. For monocular vision detection, H and S components are used to segment the image acquired by the left camera mounted on the combine harvester, and then through the fixed threshold value and binary processing the potential obstacle area is located. For stereo vision, the SIFT features are extracted from the potential obstacle area, and the ANN algorithm is utilized to get matching points. According to the obtained world coordinates the obstacle and the distance from the vehicle are calculated. In order to reduce the processing time the coefficient of image size linear transform is analyzed and it shows that the matching points are enough to satisfy the system need and the processing time is less than 200 ms when the coefficient is 4.0. The experiment using various mature wheat videos indicates that the method is valid to detect obstacles in front of the vehicle.

Abstract: A portable solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence monitor based on this principle was developed and tested. The instrument uses sunlight as its light source. There are two sets of photoelectrical detectors with the center wavelength at 760 nm and 771 nm respectively and the bandwidth of each detector is 1 nm. Both sets of detectors are composed of an upper detector which are used for detecting incidence sunlight and a bottom detector which are used for detecting reflected light from the canopy of crop. The detector is the core of the monitor to measure the spectrums at special bands. The microprocessor calculates solar-induced fluorescence value based on the A/D values obtained from detectors. And the value can be displayed on the LCD, stored in the flash memory and uploaded to PC through the PC's serial interface. The prototype was tested in the crop field at different view directions and the results demonstrated that the instrument could measure the solar-induced chlorophyll value accurately with the correlation coefficients higher than 0.9 compared with the values obtained from analytical spectral devices FieldSpec Pro NIR spectrometer.

Abstract: In order to obtain the topographic information efficiently, a tractor-mounted field 3-D topography surveying system was developed. The surveying system consisted of a measuring laser receiver, a GPS receiver, an intelligent controller and a hydraulic system. Furthermore the system could also conduct laser land leveling. The measuring laser receiver was used to obtain the elevation, and the GPS receiver was employed to obtain the longitude and latitude data. Both of them were fused in the controller so as to get the 3-D topographic information. The field experiments were carried out in different moving speeds and then the data measured by the surveying system were compared with the data from the fixed-point surveying method. The results show that the surveying system has a good consistency with the fixed-point surveying method in lower moving speed.

Abstract: The tide salt clay in Zhejiang Province was selected as research object, and the soil N and soil P were analyzed with NIR spectroscopic techniques. Six group samples were collected from a rice farm. Several kinds of nutritional water with different concentrations were added to the six groups, and then the samples were dried and rubbed. At last, 120 samples were got from six groups equably. Standard normal variate (SNV), multivariate scatter correction (MSC) and smoothing of moving average were used to process the spectral data. Different calibration models were established and the performance of these models was compared with different pretreatment methods. After comparison, smoothing of moving average was found to be the best spectral pretreatment method. 96 samples were randomly selected from 120 samples as the calibration set, and the other 24 samples were used as the validation samples. Two discriminating analysis models were developed using partial least squares (PLS) method and least squares-support vector machine (LS-SVM) method respectively. The correlation coefficients (r) between the measured data and the predicted data from PLS were 0.9454(N), 0.9327(P) respectively, and 0.0321(N), 0.9547(P) from LS-SVM, respectively. The root mean standard error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.0321(N), 0.0089(P) from PLS, and 0.0378(N), 0.0101(P) from LS-SVM. The results showed that NIRS could be used to evaluate the soil N and soil P.

Abstract: In this paper, we study the effects of wavelength selection and data pretreatments, including no pretreatment, standard normal variate transformation (SNV), vector normalization, smoothing, first and second derivative transformation, on the discrimination of maize seed varieties. The performance of the pretreatment methods is evaluated on the basis of the two data sets: all-range spectral data and the data of the characteristic wavelengths selected by a standard deviation-based feature selection method, respectively. The correct acceptance rate (CAR) and the correct rejection rate (CRR) are used as the criteria for the discrimination models. The results show that the best model uses first derivative and all-range spectral and using the best model both CAR and CRR for five varieties reach 100%, and the average CAR and CRR attains 98.6% and 98%. The wavelength selection can only improve CGR of SNV and vector normalization models.

Abstract: To achieve precision application of pesticides and fertilizers to fruiter, a real-time measuring system for fruiter canopy parameters is developed to guide precision spraying in orchard. It can reduce the negative impacts on the environment as well as improve fruit safety. The system consists of crop identification system, vehicle attitude system, master control unit and data logger unit, and a CAN bus is used to connect the microprocessors involved. Primary experiments are conducted on five adjacent trees with regular cylinder-shaped canopy on the campus for three times. Four independent ultrasonic sensors are used to measures the canopy of the target trees on a time-division basis. System sampling rate is 5 times/s; and the tractor-traveling speed of 0.3 m/s is selected. Experiments show that the system can detect fruiter canopy size in real-time, and provide a good measuring and controlling platform for precision spraying based on tree canopy.

Abstract: Laser receiver was a key component of the laser-controlled land leveling system. In order to improve the quality of the laser signal, extend the operating range, and reduce the noise, a novel laser receiver based on integrated IC was developed. Red polymethyl methacrylate was used as the material of the in-light window to reduce the background light into the laser receiver. Interference filters were used at the laser receiver to further reduce the background light. Photo-electric cells were used to transform light signal into electrical signal. Integrated operational amplifiers were used in low-noise pre-amplifier and main amplifier to amplify the weak electrical signal effectively. The wave shaping circuit and the widening circuit were employed to make the signal conditioning better and perform the signal transformation from spike pulse signal to digital TTL signal. The results of the field experiments show that the receiver works stable within 150 m for all directions. The vertical workable ranger is 28.4 cm which allows the 2 cm of accuracy in land leveling.

Abstract: A method for classification of Xi-hu-long-jing tea in four grades was introduced based on machine vision of multi-spectral imaging technique. Firstly, three monochrome images at 540, 670 and 800 nm wavelengths were simultaneously obtained based on 3CCD multi-spectral camera, then image features including 18 shape features and 15 texture features were extracted based on image processing technology. These two groups of features were adopted for cluster analysis with principal component analysis of the four grades tea. However the result was not satisfactory. In order to obtain a more effective separation model, the two groups of features were combined, and the cluster analysis was conducted again based on the combined features. The result was better than the former. After optimization of these three groups of features, three classification models were developed by means of multiple stepwise discriminant analysis (MSDA). It was found that model based on the combined features had the best performance with accuracy of 85% for prediction of unknown samples. The most important two features for classification were correlation and energy of 800 nm wavelength monochrome image.

Abstract: An acquiring platform of near-ground remote sensing images is developed to collect visible image and NIR image synchronously and then get the reflectance information from crop images. The platform contains: a 2-CCD multi-spectral camera, two collecting boxes, a field computer with two gigabit net interfaces and an image processing system. First, a true color image of plants is processed with 2G-R-B gray and median filtering algorithm, and the Otsu algorithm is used to separate plants from ground. Then the binary image is returned back to original R gray image and the average gray value of R image is acquired. Finally, using the linear model between reflectance and gray value the reflectance of crop in red waveband is calculated. Test results show that the acquiring platform works well and there exists remarkable correlation between results by above image processing method and that of ASD spectrometer. It provides the theoretical basis for crop status monitoring with digital image processing.

Abstract: SVM has already shown its successful application on the CCP discovery for HACCP implementation. However, the classic non-incremental SVM method is not an effective algorithm due to the thoroughly re-study for those samples are gradually added. We propose a new incremental algorithm. It makes use of the heuristic mode so that training can be firstly applied on the cases with greater possibilities to be SVs, and the training set can be reduced. The experiments show that the training speed is visibly improved without losing the precision of the classification.
