Using Yolov8n as the base network, a method was proposed to mitigate the impact of light occlusion on the accuracy of online cabbage recognition. A combination of cabbage image filters was designed to eliminate the effects of light occlusion. A filter parameter adaptive learning module for cabbage image filter parameters was constructed. The image filter combination and adaptive learning module were embedded into the Yolov8n object detection network. This integration enabled precise real-time recognition of cabbage under light occlusion conditions. Experimental results showed recognition accuracies of 97.5 % on the normal lighting dataset, 93.1 % on the light occlusion dataset, and 95.0 % on the mixed dataset. For images with a light occlusion degree greater than 0.4, the recognition accuracy improved by 9.9 % and 13.7 % compared to Yolov5n and Yolov8n models. The model achieved recognition accuracies of 99.3 % on the Chinese cabbage dataset and 98.3 % on the broccoli dataset. The model was deployed on an Nvidia Jetson Orin NX edge computing device, achieving an image processing speed of 26.32 frames per second.

Solutions commonly used to address viticulture challenges rely on image processing techniques, which have achieved significant results. However, they require the installation of dedicated hardware in the vineyard, making it invasive and difficult to maintain. Moreover, accurate prediction is influenced by the interplay of climatic factors, especially temperature, and the impact of global warming, which are difficult to model using images. Another problem frequently found in GPHS prediction is the persistent issue of missing values in viticultural datasets, particularly in phenological stages. This paper proposes a semi-supervised approach that begins with a small set of labeled phenological stage examples and automatically generates new annotations for large volumes of unlabeled climatic data. This approach aims to address key challenges in phenological analysis. This novel climatic data-based approach offers advantages over common image processing methods, as it is non-intrusive, cost-effective, and adaptable for vineyards of various sizes and technological levels. To ensure the robustness of the proposed Pseudo-labelling strategy, we integrated it into eight machine-learning algorithms. We evaluated its performance across seven diverse datasets, each exhibiting varying percentages of missing values. Performance metrics, including the coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) and root-mean-square error (RMSE), are employed to assess the effectiveness of the models. The study demonstrates that integrating the proposed Pseudo-labeling strategy with supervised learning approaches significantly improves predictive accuracy. Moreover, the study shows that the proposed methodology can also be integrated with explainable artificial intelligence techniques to determine the importance of the input features.

AE struggles to keep pace with these advancements, complicating the development of actionable information. One major challenge is the absence of intelligent platforms that enable efficient information retrieval and quick decision-making. Investigations have shown a shortage of AI-assisted solutions that effectively use AE materials across various media formats while preserving scientific accuracy and contextual relevance. Although mainstream AI systems can potentially reduce decision-making risks, their usage remains limited. This limitation arises primarily from the lack of standardized datasets and concerns regarding user data privacy. For AE datasets to be standardized, they must satisfy four key criteria: inclusion of critical domain-specific knowledge, expert curation, consistent structure, and acceptance by peers. Addressing data privacy issues involves adhering to open-access principles and enforcing strict data encryption and anonymization standards. To address these gaps, a conceptual framework is introduced. This framework extends beyond typical user-oriented platforms and comprises five core modules. It features a neurosymbolic pipeline integrating large language models with physically based agricultural modeling software, further enhanced by Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. Notable aspects of the framework include a dedicated human-in-the-loop process and a governance structure consisting of three primary bodies focused on data standardization, ethics and security, and accountability and transparency.

In this study, the working performance of a self-developed centrifugal VRF spreader, based on real-time growth information of rice and wheat, was investigated and tested through the test methods of using the collection trays prescribed in ISO 5690 and ASAE S341.2. The coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated by weighing the fertilizer mass in standard pans, in order to evaluate the distribution uniformity of spreading patterns.

However, their quality is vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses during production and storage, leading to various types of deterioration.

This study investigated diverse deterioration patterns in wheat seeds by analyzing 1000 high-quality and 1098 deteriorated seeds encompassing mold, aging, mechanical damage, insect damage, and internal insect infestation. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and computer vision (CV) were employed to capture surface data from both the embryo (EM) and endosperm (EN). Internal seed quality was further assessed using scanning electron microscopy, dissection, and standard germination tests. Both conventional machine learning algorithms and deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) were employed to develop discriminative models using independent datasets. Results revealed that each data source contributed valuable information for seed quality assessment (validation set accuracy: 65.1–89.2 %), with the integration of HSI and CV showing considerable promise. A comparison of early and late fusion strategies led to the development of an end-to-end deep fusion model. The decision fusion-based DCNN model, integrating HSI-EM, HSI-EN, CV-EM, and CV-EN data, achieved the highest accuracy in both training (94.3 %) and validation (93.8 %) sets. Applying this model to seed lot screening increased the proportion of high-quality seeds from 47.7 % to 93.4 %. These findings were further supported by external samples and visualizations.
