The initial network model is trained on labeled data. Then, pseudolabeling of the unlabeled data is predicted, and only the data that satisfy the confidence threshold are regarded as valid pseudolabeling. To convert the unlabeled data into supervised training data, the two types of data are mixed. The training is terminated when the number of remaining unlabeled data satisfies the end condition and when the fivefold cross-validation method is used to evaluate model performance. Compared with the traditional semisupervised method, the experimental method is simpler and more applicable. Experiments were conducted on rice growth stage recognition and crop weed seedling recognition tasks. The results showed that the proposed method achieved 99.17% accuracy in rice growth stage recognition and a high AUC value of 99.93% in crop weed seedling recognition, which demonstrated excellent performance.

The availability of Remote Sensing (RS) datasets and Machine Learning (ML) approaches improved the prediction of sugarcane crop yield on the local and global scales, but an additional effort on the plot scale prediction is required. Challenges for plot-level prediction include a high ratooning capacity of the sugarcane crop, the lack of high spatial resolution data during the critical growth stages, and the non-linear complexation of yield data. The principal objective of the study is to analyse the potential of a time series of high-resolution multispectral Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery along with three advanced ML techniques, namely Random Forest Regression (RFR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous Artificial Neural Network (NARX ANN) as a solution to the plot-level sugarcane yield prediction. An experimental sugarcane field containing 48 plots was selected, and UAV imagery was collected during the three consecutive cropping seasons' early and middle crop growth stages. Each dataset per growth stage was analyzed separately to predict the sugarcane crop yield in an attempt to discover how early the prediction of pre-harvest yield can be achieved. The datasets of the first two cropping seasons were trained and tested using the three ML techniques, utilizing 10-fold cross-validation to avoid overfitting. The third cropping season dataset was then used to evaluate the reliability of the developed prediction models. The results show that the correlation of Vegetation Indices (VIs) with crop yield in the middle stage outperforms the early stage in all three ML models. Moreover, comparing these models indicates that the NARX ANN method outperformed the others in the middle stage with the highest correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) of 0.96 and the lowest Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 4.92 t/ha. It was followed by the SVR (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.52, RMSE of 14.85 t/ha), which performed similarly to the RFR method (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.48, RMSE = 11.20 t/ha). In conclusion, the best-suited model for predicting sugarcane yields during the middle growth stage is a NARX ANN model employing the Normalized Difference RedEdge (NDRE), which demonstrates the feasibility of the ML approaches to predict the plot level sugarcane yield at a specific period of growth as they are less sensitive to the inconsistency of data collection times.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53443,"journal":{"name":"Information Processing in Agriculture","volume":"11 4","pages":"Pages 476-487"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48925313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Edge compute algorithm on CPSS estimated sunburn susceptibility as fruit surface temperature (FST) through pixel-by-pixel multiplication of captured thermal infrared images with segmented fruits binary mask. The segmentation was performed using color-based K means clustering approach. This limited CPSS applicability to monitor sunburn of red colored cultivars only and when fruits develop color, typically late growing season. This is a key research gap as recent weather patterns have shown that sunburn can occur during early growing season when fruits are green to yellow. Therefore, aim of this study was to develop and field evaluate cultivar and color independent mask region-convolution neural network (R-CNN) aided fruit segmentation model and edge compute compatible FST estimation algorithm.

To decrease expenses and the need for labor to supplement the herd and improve animal performance, many parameters directly associated with supplementation must be monitored, such as environmental climate, soil and pasture characteristics, animal welfare, weight, and health. With so many parameters that impacts the decision on the quality and quantity of supplement to be supplied to the herd, sensors, remote sensing, and agricultural machinery are essential.

The current study incorporated many aspects of a complex commercial greenhouse not commonly seen in literature, such as evaporative cooling pads, dehumidification technology, gas burners, energy curtains, supplementary heating and lighting, and forced ventilation. The model was successfully validated at multiple greenhouse sections of a commercial greenhouse during spring, summer, and fall conditions in the southern Ontario climate.

The measured interior temperature and relative humidity data were used to evaluate the accuracy of the model simulations, while other measurements, such as solar radiation, were used as model inputs.
