This study aims to fulfill the detection needs for straw coverage on edge monitoring platforms by initially capturing straw images through an onboard terminal and subsequently creating a dataset via data augmentation. We opted for SegNext as the foundational model and incorporated ResNet101 as the backbone to enhance the extraction of features specific to straw. To achieve a lightweight model without sacrificing detection accuracy, ResNet101 was utilized as the teacher model to mentor ResNet18 as the student model, with the training outcomes quantified using QAT. In tests conducted under multifactorial field scenarios, the QSR101-18 model achieved mIoU of 85.78 %, mAP of 95.98 % and Kappa of 86.25 %, surpassing SegNext by 1.44 %, 1.57 % and 1.32 %, respectively. The QSR101-18 model FLOPs and Params are 0.71G and 0.45 M respectively, which is about 1/27 and 1/100 of SegNext. When deployed on edge platforms and analyzed across varying straw coverage rates, QSR101-18 demonstrated an overall error of only 1.3 %, well within acceptable limits. The inference speed for a single image was just 16.32 ms, meeting the speed requirements for field operations. Consequently, the proposed QSR101-18 model demonstrates several key advantages, including a lightweight architecture, minimal error rates, robustness, and high accuracy. It effectively addresses the challenges posed by unstructured, fragmented straw and various environmental factors in detecting straw coverage, all while adhering to the speed constraints required for field operations on edge monitoring platforms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50627,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Electronics in Agriculture","volume":"235 ","pages":"Article 110338"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As <em>V.velutina</em> largely predate on honeybees, assessing their presence at apiaries would be useful for invasive species control programmes and beekeepers to help protect their hives. At present, hornet monitoring techniques are both costly and time consuming. A promising alternative is a remote detection strategy at apiaries, which would promote straightforward, non-invasive data acquisition. The remote capture of flight acoustics should benefit hornet detection as wingbeat frequencies have previously been described as ‘the fingerprint’ of some flying invertebrate species. We here demonstrate a non-invasive method of <em>V.velutina</em> detection using their hovering flight sounds, captured by microphones that can be left at an apiary over the long-term. Paired with a training algorithm (principal component analysis and discriminant function analysis) that discriminates between hornet flight and other external noises (honeybee flight sounds and general background noise), we demonstrate that hornet hovering acoustics exhibit specific spectral features that promote the detection of individuals at an apiary. The training algorithm in our study was highly accurate (98.7 %) when testing just under 1-hour of apiary recordings. Utilising two-dimensional-Fourier-transforms has also benefited this algorithm, as the analysis technique is ideal for identifying repeating features in sound/vibrational data, which are an inherent consequence of hovering hornet sounds. The experimental design and training algorithm used in this study have demonstrated excellent potential for hornet detection in the field, and are now ready to be tested on long-term, continuous data to further assess their success.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50627,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Electronics in Agriculture","volume":"235 ","pages":"Article 110307"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143724541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, UAS are limited by their relatively small area coverage, high cost, and high data processing needs. High resolution satellites (such as SkySat) are valuable alternatives to UAS in PA. Nonetheless, persistent cloud cover, especially in regions like the South of Texas, limits their utility. This study compared and explored the integration of satellite and UAS imagery for cotton yield estimation. The rationale was to determine the best performing platform among the two, as well as leverage their synergy to mitigate data gaps caused by persistent cloud cover. Using deep learning model, vegetation indices derived from SkySat and P4M (Phantom 4 Multispectral) images were correlated with crop yield data collected during the 2023 season. Results demonstrated that SkySat slightly outperformed P4M in yield estimation, with median accuracies of R<sup>2</sup> = 0.81 and RMSE = 0.20 ton/ha for SkySat, compared to R<sup>2</sup> = 0.80 and RMSE = 0.21 ton/ha for P4M. More importantly, when all the SkySat and P4M datasets were combined, accuracy improved by 3 % compared to SkySat-only data. In addition, data collected between 74 and 114 days after planting contributed most significantly to yield prediction. The fusion approach used in this study allows for better spatial and temporal coverage, ultimately enhancing yield prediction reliability in PA.

Hyperspectral imagery has become a powerful tool for evaluating photosynthetic capacity due to its non-destructive nature in sensing crop radiation. Most photosynthetic indicators have instantaneous ideal values, which cannot fully reflect the photosynthetic capacity of crop populations in field environments. This study introduces a novel indicator “one day photosynthesis” (ODP) based on the various photosynthetic indicators including net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), internal CO<sub>2</sub> concentration (Ci), and transpiration rate (Tr). We performed trend fitting on the time-series photosynthetic indicators obtained at a frequency of two hours, and then calculated the projection area of the fitting curve on the time axis. Later on, the ODP was calculated by assigning weight to the projection area using the CRITIC and correlation method, and the feasibility of ODP was tested using the growth of hundred-grain weight (HGW). Finally, we constructed the ODP estimation model based on canopy hyperspectral data, and further estimated the yield. The results showed that the correlation coefficients between ODP and the growth of HGW were 0.831, 0.882, 0.856, and 0.833 at 10, 20, 30, and 40 days after flowering, respectively.

We noticed that ODP also has good accuracy in estimating the maize yield, as the R<sup>2</sup> of estimated yield on the base of measured and estimated ODP was 0.770 and 0.716 respectively. Furthermore, the VIs screened by ODP modeling can also be used for yield estimation, and this VIs screening method is superior to the yield estimation model built based on the correlation between VIs and yield.

In the field of precision weed control, the weed infestation rate is an important indicator of weed damage, which has been predicted by various methods and attempts to be applied to guide pesticide spraying via UAVs. However, existing prediction methods not only face the problem of scarcity of data types, but most of them also require pixel-level labeling, which makes them difficult to apply practically. It is also challenging to deal with the lack of consistency in multimodal data, which leads to an inability to quantify differences in characteristics between weeds and crops. To address the above problems, we collect a multimodal database (PWMD) of early pepper weeds containing 1495 pairs of visible and infrared images using a UAV and a multispectral camera. Moreover, we further design a multimodal weed infestation rate prediction system (MWPS) to achieve efficient performance in the field. In detail, MWPS implements dual-path generative adversarial learning and a multilevel feature matching module to mitigate modal differences between multimodal images and utilizes a multilayer perceptron model containing dual attention to achieve efficient weed infestation rate prediction.
