In recent years, there has been a growing interest in automated systems for monitoring the behaviour of ruminants.

Several factors prevent a direct comparison, starting from the diversity of data and performance metrics used in the experiments. This review on the analysis of the feeding behaviour of ruminants emphasise the relationship between sensing methodologies, signal processing, and computational intelligence methods.

While traditional methods are limited by single modality (e.g., water quality, vision, audio), they often lack comprehensive representation, leading to low identification accuracy. In contrast, the multimodal fusion methods leverage the fusion of features from different modalities to obtain richer target features, thereby significantly enhancing the performance of fish feeding intensity assessment (FFIA). In this work a multimodal dataset called MRS-FFIA was introduced. The MRS-FFIA dataset consists of 7611 labelled audio, video and acoustic dataset, and divided the dataset into four different feeding intensity (strong, medium, weak, and none). To address the limitations of single modality methods, a Multimodal Fusion of Fish Feeding Intensity fusion (MFFFI) model was proposed. The MFFFI model is first extracting deep features from three modal data audio (Mel), video (RGB), Acoustic (SI). Then, image stitching techniques are employed to fuse these extracted features. Finally, the fused features are passed through a classifier to obtain the results. The test results show that the accuracy of the fused multimodal information is 99.26%, which improves the accuracy by 12.80%, 13.77%, and 2.86%, respectively, compared to the best results for single-modality (audio, video and acoustic dataset). This result demonstrates that the method proposed in this paper is better at classifying the feeding intensity of fish and can achieve higher accuracy. In addition, compared with the mainstream single-modality approach, the model improves 1.5%–10.8% in accuracy, and the lightweight effect is more obvious. Based on the multimodal fusion method, the feeding decision can be optimised effectively, which provides technical support for the development of intelligent feeding systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9173,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems Engineering","volume":"246 ","pages":"Pages 135-149"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962483","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}

A discrete element method (DEM) model of simulating the passively vibrating sweep tool was developed based on the laboratory soil bin tests.

The genetic algorithm revealed that within the particle assemblies of the three geometries used in the DEM, several parameter sets were suitable for accurately describing the modelled soil. The final parameter set was chosen by integrating the DEM model with results from the laboratory direct shear box test. Employing Fast Fourier Transformation, both the laboratory soil bin test and the calibrated DEM model of the soil and the vibrating sweep tool facilitated an examination of frequencies and amplitudes during force and displacement measurements. The results indicated that, compared to a rigid tool, the draught force required by the 16 spring sweep tool was reduced by 6–9%. The absence of DEM would have limited the investigation of kinetic energy in the sweep tool and the dynamics of energy dissipation in the soil, if measurement equipment alone was used. This research successfully demonstrated that the reduced draught force with the 16 spring passively vibrating sweep tool, operating near the system's eigenfrequency, resulted from its ability to generate higher kinetic energy in the sweep tool while minimising energy dissipation in the soil.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9173,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems Engineering","volume":"245 ","pages":"Pages 199-222"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1537511024001405/pdfft?md5=1f883ace78cf98d3a3eba93a1a2e23cc&pid=1-s2.0-S1537511024001405-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952097","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}

The influence of wheat ears on deflection was incorporated into the model. The accuracy of wheat plant deflection forces obtained using the model was confirmed through theoretical analyses, simulations and experimental measurements. Moreover, deflection tests and posture analysis were performed on the wheat plants for different locations at which the deflection forces were acting and for different plant densities. Experiments focusing on reel operation demonstrated that the deflection forces exerted by the reel rod on wheat plants could be used to predict the number of bent plants, which would subsequently help in wheat biomass estimation. The study found that the influence of the wheat ear on the deflection force significantly increased as the plant deflection increased. The deflection force was most effective at two-thirds of the height of the wheat plant. Moreover, the higher the plant density, the greater the deflection force, which was closely correlated with wheat biomass.

This study innovatively proposed a novel bidirectional-micro-profiling compacting device (BMPCD). In this study, the coupled DEM-MFBD simulation technique was utilised to find that the core design parameters <em>k</em> (elasticity coefficient of the reset spring) and <em>t</em> (thickness of the elastic sheet) of the BMPCD would significantly affect the seedbed uniformity by changing the resistance value <em>F</em><sub><em>r</em></sub> during the profiling process (P ≤ 0.01). The simulation results showed that when <em>k</em> was taken as 7.8 N mm<sup>−1</sup> and <em>t</em> was taken as 1.6 mm, the seedbed uniformity could be most greatly improved. The field experiments showed that compared with the bidirectional profiling compacting device (BPCD) and longitudinal profiling compacting device (LPCD), BMPCD could reduce the coefficient of variation of soil firmness (CVSF) by 33.1% and 40.1%, and the coefficient of variation of sowing depth (CVSD) by 37.1% and 51.8%, respectively, and then improve the seedling emergence rate of dry direct-seeded rice by 5.8% and 12.2%. This indicated that bidirectional and micro-profiling compaction technology could tackle the problem of low seedling emergence rate in rice dry direct-seeding. Meanwhile, the results of the DEM-MFBD coupling simulation were not significantly different from the test results of the field experiments (P &gt; 0.05), indicating that it could be used as an efficient and accurate new method to study the dynamic characteristics between the soil and machinery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9173,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems Engineering","volume":"246 ","pages":"Pages 26-40"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141954174","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}
