Firstly, three types of plant leaf features such as shape, texture and fractal dimension were extracted from the plant leaves after a series of image processing. Then the SVM classification results of each single feature were used as evidences to construct the basic probability assigned (BPA), and the method of DS fusion based on matrix analysis was used for decision fusion. Finally, recognition results were given based on fusion results and classification thresholds. The experimental results showed that the accuracy of multi-feature fusion method was 96.11% which has good performance on accuracy and stability compared with the single feature method in weed recognition.

The droughts were forecasted from early April to late May, 2009, and there were six step-1 forecasting results, six step-2 forecasting results and six step-3 forecasting results. The results show that the forecasting accuracies of the SARIMA models are gradually decreased with the increase of the forecasting steps. The distributions of absolute errors of the six step-1 forecasting results were basically in unimodal distributions and the errors were mainly in the range from -0.2 to 0.2. The six step-2 absolute errors were in bimodal distributions, and the errors of the step-3 were more scattered and larger. After analysis of drought spatial and temporal distributions in the Guanzhong plain, the droughts have obvious regional characteristics, and the forecasting drought spatial of step-1 and step-2 and temporal distributions are consistently better to the monitoring ones. The step-3 forecasting results have more uncertainties. The SARIMA model can be used for drought forecasting of step-1 and step-2 in the Guanzhong plain.

Firstly, the reasonable sampling number was sampled and its statistical characteristics were analyzed. The crop yield information was obtained by traditional statistical methods. Then, the spatial variability and correlation of crop yield at county-scale were studied by geostatistics methods. The regional spatial distribution map of crop yield was made by kringing interpolation methods. The results showed that the corn yield and its components had intermediate variability and the coefficient of variability was 10%-100% by traditional statistics. However, the spatial distribution of corn yield was found that it had relatively strong spatial correlation by geostatistics analysis. Further analysis showed that the spatial variability of corn yield was depended on its consistent factors rather than random factors and the spatial heterogeneity scales was about 3400 m.

However, it is difficult to analyze this adaptive ability with traditional dynamics system, since the steering course concerns a complex course of driver-vehicle interaction. The investigating of driver-vehicle closed-loop stability was conducted. It can be found that drivers can utilize the linear dynamics characteristic to acquire the skill of controlling the driving direction. Besides, this skill can combine with physical limitations to form an internal reference model, which can be employed by drivers to adapt to the variable dynamics conditions. Based on above results, a adaptive steering control method was proposed. The lane change simulation experimental result indicated that the proposed method not only can realize the drivers' steering task effectively, but also present good adaptability under the altered dynamics conditions.

According to the material-flow bottleneck defining, the production capability and load were described from the perspectives of process speed and quality level, then the bottleneck index was constructed to characterize the degree of manufacturing unit blocking the material-flow (that is bottleneck degree). Based on the measurement of the sensitivity of the bottleneck index to the single bottleneck shifting factor and DEMATEL method for analyzing the relationship of the factors, bottleneck shifting sensitivity index was built to measure the sensitive degree of bottleneck index to the uncertain environment.

The charged liquid jet breakup length was measured by applying the high-speed photography technology to verify the theoretical results. The results of numerical calculation indicated that the growth rate of 0-order and 1-order surface wave grows with increasing of jet velocity and charged voltage. The maximum growth rate of 0-order surface wave was bigger than that of 1-order surface wave in the discussed range of jet velocity and charge voltage. The jet breakup length increased to maximum value and then decreased with increasing of jet velocity. Charge voltage always promoted the jet breakup and makes jet breakup length shorter. Higher liquid conductivity made jet breakup length longer. The experimental results showed that theoretical analysis gave a reasonable explanation to the influence of charge voltage, jet velocity and liquid conductivity on jet breakup length, but fails to be a good predictor of critical jet velocity corresponding to the maximum of jet breakup length.

A testing was conducted to verify the correctness of the mathematical model, and further the impact factors of the cooling performance were analyzed. The study results showed that: during the cooling process in refrigerated trucks, temperatures both in two temperature zones were decreased exponentially with time. Cooling time in both the two zones was increased when the cooling capacity was reduced or the respiratory heat of goods and the vehicle speed and thermal conductivity of the compartment insulation material were increased. Besides, the cooling time will increase in the frozen zone while the cooling time in the refrigerated zone would decrease if we enlarge the fan wind speed between the two zones or increase the wind outlet areas. If volume in the frozen zone was enlarged and volume in the refrigerated zone was decreased with the total volume unchanged, cooling time in the frozen zone would increase while the refrigerated zone keeps unchanged. The two cooling characteristics remained the same when the thickness of the insulation panels between the two temperature zones was changed.

Through experiments, the sucking seed uniformity of the seed-metering device with trapezoidal, U-shape, V-shape slot-type and the straight slot-type was analyzed. The experimental data showed the variation coefficient of the seed-metering device with trapezoidal slot-type was the smallest, which was 7.0%, and the seed breakage rate was lower than 0.30%. These data conformed to the requirement of wheat precise seeding. But in the actual operation because of undulation of negative pressure of the wind machine and difference of air current suction in each row slot-type, the consistency of each line seeding quantity of the seed-metering device was not improved.

First, based on the finite element method and the Lagrange's equation, the equations of motion of the smart beam bonded lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuators and sensors were modeled. Considering constraint equations of rigid motion and elastic motion, the general motion equations of planar 3-RRR flexible parallel robots were determined by the compatibility. The high-order equations of the system in physical space were transformed into modal space through the modal theory. According to the low-order modal equations, both the strain rate feedback controler and the optimal state feedback controler were designed for suppressing residual vibration of the system. The numerical simulation results revealed that two kinds of controllers could effectively suppress residual vibration of the system. Moreover, comparing the strain rate feedback control, the optimal state feedback control could obtain better control results in a lower control voltage.

The planting patterns were respectively seeding raising and soil-substrate transplanting with plastic mulching, seeding raising in sand and root-naked transplanting with plastic mulching, seeding raising and soil-substrate transplanting without plastic mulching, seeding raising in sand and root-naked transplanting without plastic mulching, and bunch planting without plastic mulching. The results showed that salt stress towards cotton was reduced by applying plastic film mulching to decrease soil evaporation, improve soil temperature as well as inhibit salt accumulation in surface. Under the film mulching conditions, the cotton seedling rate, leaf area index before blossoming and boll forming stage, pre-frost yield and yield were higher than that without plastic mulching. Fiber quality was also improved. The techniques of seeding raising and soil-substrate transplanting and seeding raising in sand and root-naked transplanting showed a good yield-increasing potential. Especially during the successive overcast days in the middle-late stages of cotton (in 2011), the yield of seedling transplantation cotton was greatly improved.

Reflectance spectra of different objectives including soil, soybean plants, and illuminated leaves were extracted and they were used to retrieve the chlorophyll density of soybean canopy by using reflectance spectra at different observation angles, and furthermore explored detailed model inversion effects of soybean group for ground soil, shadow leaves, and angle changes. Studies have been showed that when the angles combination was 0°, 20°, 40° and 60°, there were the highest determination coefficient of 0.834, and the lowest root mean square error of 6.13 for prediction model of chlorophyll density.

The graph theory was used in different color spaces and the maize leaf disease segmentation was then formulated as a graph segmentation problem in different color spaces. Furthermore, an effective fusion method was applied to update the initial segment result. Experiments on the maize leaf disease showed that the segmentation results were good. The results revealed that the proposed approach was feasible and effective.

In RecurdynV7R5 software models of the diameter-variable wheel and a normal tire were built to analyze the climbing obstacles characteristics. On this basis, the vehicle model which would be driven by rear wheel or four wheels mechanical was set up, and the calculation was executed. The results showed that the driving way and the variation of wheel diameter play an important role for obstacle climbing performance. In RecurdynV7R5 software the whole vehicle model with rear wheel drive mode or four wheel drive mode was built, and obstacle climbing performance was simulated in the condition of adjusting the wheel diameter size. Then, the calculation and the simulation were compared. In the end, experimental results verify the reliability between the theoretical calculation and the simulation analysis.

It was simplified to a linear-in-parameter mode. The relationship between joint torque and actuator force was deduced by differentiating the function of relationship between the joint angle and cylinder displacement, and friction was introduced into the actuator force. The recursive least square method (RLS) and recursive stochastic Newton algorithm (RSNA) were used to identify the unknown combination parameters respectively. Comparison experiments showed the predictive errors of joint torque of RSNA was reduced by 65% and 63% for the dipper joint and bucket joint respectively. The results demonstrated RSNA was more robust to the system noise. It can identify the dynamic parameters precisely.

Experiments were designed for the evaluation of the simulation results. The research showed that the air velocity decreased as the distance increasing from spray nozzle in vertical and horizontal directions. The change of air flow rate at nozzle had no remarkable influence on the characteristic of air-velocity distribution, but enlarged the droplet distribution area significantly. By increasing the nozzle flow rate from 25 m/s to 50 m/s, the blowing distance could be increased from 2.4 m to 3.6 m, the range of air-velocity distribution expanded from 0.20 m to 0.25 m. The contrast of experiment results and simulation results showed that the simulation model built can be an accurate simulation of the air-velocity distribution of a greenhouse air-assisted sprayer.
