Tracking underwater targets is a challenging task due to suspension, water absorption, and light scattering. This study proposed a simple but effective algorithm for sea cucumber tracking based on Kernelized Correlation Filters (KCF) framework. This method tracked the head and tail of the sea cucumber respectively and calculated the scale change according to the distance between the head and tail. The KCF method was improved on three strategies. First of all, the target was searched at the predicted position to improve accuracy. Secondly, an adaptive learning rate updating method based on the detection score of each frame was proposed. Finally, the adaptive size of the histogram of the oriented gradient (HOG) feature was used to balance the accuracy and efficiency. Experimental results showed that the algorithm had good tracking performance.

However, the existing soil water prediction model constructed by the spectral parameters without considering the plant growth process will inevitably increase the prediction errors. This study carried out research on the correlations among spectral parameters of the canopy of winter wheat, crop growth process, and soil water content, and finally constructed the soil water content prediction model with the growth days parameter. The results showed that the plant water content of winter wheat tended to decrease during the whole growth period. The plant water content had the best correlations with the soil water content of the 0-50 cm soil layer. At different growth stages, even if the soil water content was the same, the plant water content and characteristic spectral reflectance were also different. Therefore, the crop growing days parameter was added to the model established by the relationships between characteristic spectral parameters and soil water content to increase the prediction accuracy. It is found that the determination coefficient (R2) of the models built during the whole growth period was greatly increased, ranging from 0.54 to 0.60. Then, the model built by OSAVI (Optimized Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) and Rg/Rr, two of the highest precision characteristic spectral parameters, were selected for model validation. The correlation between OSAVI and soil water content, Rg/Rr, and soil water content were still significant (p<0.05). The R2, MAE, and RMSE validation models were 0.53 and 0.58, 3.19 and 2.97, 4.76 and 4.41, respectively, which was accurate enough to be applied in a large-area field. Furthermore, the upper and lower irrigation limit of OSAVI and Rg/Rr were put forward. The research results could guide the agricultural production of winter wheat in northern China.

The model of uncertain knowledge representation was established for inference by using the certainty factor. The daily feeding amount of each sow was calculated by the expert system. An improved pattern matching algorithm Reused Degree Model-RETE (RDM-RETE) was proposed for the decision of daily feeding amount, which sped up inference by optimizing the RETE network topology. A prediction model of daily feeding amount was established by a rule-based expert system and the precision feeding was achieved by an accurate control technology of variable volume. The experimental results demonstrated that the HASH-RDM-RETE algorithm could effectively reduce the network complexity and improve the inference efficiency. The feeding amount decided by the expert system was a logarithmic model, which was consistent with the feeding law of lactating sows. The inferential feeding amount was adopted as the predicted feed intake and the coefficient of correlation between predicted feed intake and actual feed intake was greater than or equal to 0.99. Each sow was fed at different feeding intervals and different feed amounts for each meal in a day. The feed intake was 26.84% higher than that of artificial feeding during lactation days ( p <0.05). The piglets weaned per sow per year (PSY) can be increased by 1.51 compared with that of relatively high levels in domestic pig farms. This system is stable in feeding and lowers the breeding cost that can be applied in precision feeding in swine production.","PeriodicalId":13895,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76365158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the effects of the combined application of water and potassium on strawberry growth were evaluated by experimenting with 12 treatments, including four transpiration (ET C )-based irrigation levels (W1: 100% ET C , W2: 85% ET C , W3: 70% ET C , and W4: 55% ET C ) and three potassium levels according to the target yield (K1: 369.5 kg/hm 2 , K2: 307.9 kg/hm 2 , and K3: 246.3 kg/hm 2 ). Various indexes of strawberry yield, fruit quality, water and fertilizer utilization efficiency, and soil nutrient residues were measured. Irrigation and potassium application had significant effects on strawberry production. Higher irrigation levels increased yield ( Y ), and moderate water and potassium application increased single fruit weight (SFW), water utilization efficiency (WUE), total soluble sugar (TSSC), and the sugar-acid ratio (SAR). While low-application of potassium increased the soluble protein content (SP), partial factor productivity of potassium (PFP K ), and reduce nutrient residues in soil effectively. A comprehensive system for evaluating strawberry growth and its benefits to the soil environment was developed. The FAHP and CRITIC methods were used to calculate the subjective weight and objective weight of each index, respectively. The largest subjective weight was observed for Y (0.200), and the largest objective weight was observed for soil-available potassium (0.101). The final weight was determined using Game theory; Y had the highest weight (0.185), and free amino acids (FAA) had the lowest weight (0.047). Grey relational analysis (GRA) was used to evaluate the optimal irrigation and potassium scheme for accomplishing multiple objectives. The response of the comprehensive score of strawberries to irrigation and potassium exhibited a negative parabolic relationship, and the effect of irrigation was greater than the effect of potassium application. There was a significant interaction between irrigation and potassium application, and an irrigation amount of 2053-2525 m 3 /hm 2 with a potassium application rate of 288.1-334.2 kg/hm 2 was optimal for promoting strawberry yield, fruit quality, and efficiency and reducing soil nutrient residues. The results of this study provide new insights that could aid the development of sustainable approaches for enhancing agricultural production.","PeriodicalId":13895,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering","volume":"223 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72419733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
