Quick and accurate identification of trees infected by PWN can lead to earlier intervention in their spread, thereby significantly reducing losses. However, there is a scarcity of algorithm that are both swift and precise. To achieve more rapid and precise segmentation of trees affected by PWN, we proposed a novel lightweight model termed Refined and Deformable Carafe Attention Net (RCANet). The RCANet excels in both accuracy and real-time performance. It has achieved segmentation accuracy that surpasses mainstream segmentation networks, including DeepLabv3 + , Segformer, PSPNet, HrNet, and UNet. The number of parameters in RCANet is only 5.373 million, the segmentation speed reached 83.14 fps. Compared to the baseline model UNet, the IoU of the affected trees class is improved by 5.6%, and the segmentation speed is accelerated by about 90%. A straightforward yet highly effective lightweight structure was proposed, termed Refined VGG. Additionally, we validate the efficacy of several network modules for this task. RCANet addressed the challenges of low accuracy and inadequate real-time capabilities in the identification of PWN-affected pine trees within intricate forest landscapes. which is expected to be deployed on UAVs in the future for real-time recognition to accelerate the identification and localization of affected trees.

This study developed a segmentation workflow for point clouds of 18 cotton genotypes to map the spatial distribution of bolls on the plants. The data processing workflow includes two independent approaches to map the vertical and horizontal distribution of cotton bolls. The vertical distribution was mapped by segmenting bolls using PointNet++ and identifying individual instances through Euclidean clustering. For horizontal distribution, TreeQSM segmented the plant into the main stem and individual branches. PointNet++ and Euclidean clustering were then used to achieve cotton boll instance segmentation. The horizontal distribution was determined by calculating the Euclidean distance of each cotton boll relative to the main stem. Additionally, branch types were classified using point cloud meshing completion and the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm. The results highlight that the accuracy and mean intersection over union (mIoU) of the 2-class segmentation based on PointNet++ reached 0.954 and 0.896 on the whole plant dataset, and 0.968 and 0.897 on the branch dataset, respectively.

This research introduces a novel coconut tree modeling approach, integrating abiotic factors and modified Cosserat rod theory. Factors like sunlight availability, wind speed, cultivation practices, and gravitropism influence coconut tree growth rates. The model encompasses both primary and secondary growth processes. Primary growth is influenced by gravitropism, sunlight availability, and wind effects, while secondary growth is determined by variations in trunk diameter. Additionally, the model incorporates the diameter at breast height to accommodate cultivation practice variations. Comparisons between the proposed model, classical rod theory, and biomechanics growth models reveal that the proposed model aligns more closely with real-time data on spatial and temporal growth characteristics.

In summary, this study presents a pioneering coconut tree growth model that integrates abiotic factors and modified Cosserat rod theory. By considering unique features of coconut trees and environmental influences, the model offers more accurate predictions compared to existing approaches, enhancing our understanding of coconut tree biomechanics and growth patterns.

H-RT-DETR uses Hierarchical Feature Representation and Efficient Self-Attention as the backbone network for feature extraction, thereby improving the network's ability to extract features of maize seedling stage in UAV remote sensing images. Through experiments on the UAV remote sensing data set of maize seedling stage, the mean Average Precision mAP0.5-0.95, mAP0.5 and mAP0.75 of the improved H-RT-DETR model reached 51.2%, 94.7% and 48.1%, respectively, and the Average Recall (AR) reached 68.5%. In order to verify the efficiency of the proposed method, H-RT-DETR is compared with the widely used and advanced target recognition methods. The results show that the detection accuracy of H-RT-DETR is better than that of the comparison methods.
