However, the liquorice pulling force characterises the contact strength of the liquorice-soil composite and can be used to study the root-soil interactions. This paper proposed a three-part modelling method to model the liquorice-soil composite at harvesting period. The mechanical parameters of soil particles were calibrated using the soil unconfined compressive strength test. The calibration results showed that the errors of peak force and peak displacement for soil unconfined compressive strength tests were 1.09% and 1.64%, respectively. The flexible liquorice model was constructed based on 3D scanning and particle filling methods, and the simulation model was calibrated based on compression properties. The relative errors in calibration of the flexible liquorice's radial and axial compression forces were 1.35% and 3.9%, respectively. Simplifying liquorice pulling force and liquorice surface area into a linear correlation effectively supports the general modelling method. The contact parameters between soil and liquorice were determined using liquorice pulling force as the target value, and the proportional calibration method was used to improve simulation efficiency. The calibration error for the liquorice pulling force is 4.39%. In addition, the results of the pulling force for the different surface areas show that the calibrated parameters are valid within a liquorice surface area of 0.0075–0.0181 m<sup>2</sup>.

Traditional mechanical analyses, which often require simplifications, may not fully capture this complexity, leading to less accurate predictions of the paperboard's strength. To address these challenges, a machine learning (ML) approach was utilized, employing the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) to develop a predictive model for the buckling strength of corrugated paperboard boxes with ventilation cutouts.

Therefore, a joint spectral-spatial feature extraction method was proposed by cascade of three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3DCNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) to reduce the interference for optimising the LCC estimation. Firstly, crop pixels were separated from soil with vegetation index segmentation method.

Traditional manual counting methods are time-consuming and impractical for large-scale fields. To count cotton flowers efficiently and accurately, a multi-view multi-object tracking approach was proposed by using both RGB and depth images collected by three RGB-D cameras fixed on a ground robotic platform. The tracking-by-detection algorithm was employed to track flowers from three views simultaneously and remove duplicated counting from single views. Specifically, an object detection model (YOLOv8) was trained to detect flowers in RGB images and a deep learning-based optical flow model Recurrent All-pairs Field Transforms (RAFT) was used to estimate motion between two adjacent frames. The intersection over union and distance costs were employed to associate flowers in the tracking algorithm. Additionally, tracked flowers were segmented in RGB images and the depth of each flower was obtained from the corresponding depth image. Those flowers tracked with known depth from two side views were then projected onto the middle image coordinate using camera calibration parameters. Finally, a constrained hierarchy clustering algorithm clustered all flowers in the middle image coordinate to remove duplicated counting from three views. The results showed that the mean average precision of trained YOLOv8x was 96.4%. The counting results of the developed method were highly correlated with those counted manually with a coefficient of determination of 0.92. Besides, the mean absolute percentage error of all 25 testing videos was 6.22%. The predicted cumulative flower number of Pima cotton flowers is higher than that of Acala Maxxa, which is consistent with what breeders have observed. Furthermore, the developed method can also obtain the flower number distributions of different genotypes without laborious manual counting in the field. Overall, the three-view approach provides an efficient and effective approach to count cotton flowers from multiple views. By collecting the video data continuously, this method is beneficial for breeders to dissect genetic mechanisms of flowering time with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution, also providing a means to discern genetic differences in fecundity, the number of flowers that result in harvestable bolls.

Existing perception systems struggle with the high levels of occlusion in plants and often result in poor perception accuracy. One reason for this is because they use fixed cameras or predefined camera movements. Next-best-view (NBV) planning presents an alternate approach, in which the camera viewpoints are reasoned and strategically planned such that the perception accuracy is improved. However, existing NBV-planning algorithms are agnostic to the task-at-hand and give equal importance to all the plant parts. This strategy is inefficient for greenhouse tasks that require targeted perception of specific plant parts, such as the perception of leaf nodes for de-leafing. To improve targeted perception in complex greenhouse environments, NBV planning algorithms need an attention mechanism to focus on the task-relevant plant parts. In this paper, the role of attention in improving targeted perception using an attention-driven NBV planning strategy was investigated. Through simulation experiments using plants with high levels of occlusion and structural complexity, it was shown that focusing attention on task-relevant plant parts can significantly improve the speed and accuracy of 3D reconstruction. Further, with real-world experiments, it was shown that these benefits extend to complex greenhouse conditions with natural variation and occlusion, natural illumination, sensor noise, and uncertainty in camera poses. The results clearly indicate that using attention-driven NBV planning in greenhouses can significantly improve the efficiency of perception and enhance the performance of robotic systems in greenhouse crop production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":9173,"journal":{"name":"Biosystems Engineering","volume":"246 ","pages":"Pages 248-262"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1537511024001740/pdfft?md5=f37117c66abf97278ade44d2fce1111f&pid=1-s2.0-S1537511024001740-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141997703","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 structure of the air distribution device was optimised to improve the airflow uniformity over the curved surface of the rolling bed in the microwave-hot air drying combined equipment. The research findings reveal that, across eleven models, the outlet airflow velocity stabilises once the number of mesh elements reaches 5 million, achieving significant computational accuracy at that point. Optimizing components like the uniform air distribution pipe, turbulence plates, and wind deflectors significantly enhanced airflow distribution uniformity by 52.1%. The best airflow and temperature distribution uniformity on the rolling bed surface was achieved when the inlet airflow velocity ranged from 1 to 3 m s<sup>−1</sup>, with minimum <em>V</em><sub>d</sub>, <em>U</em><sub>v</sub> and temperature non-uniformity coefficients of 0.007 m s<sup>−1</sup>, 7.2% and 0.2%, respectively.
