    Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2024, 53 (3): 151-157.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2024.03.016

    To achieve precise and rapid detection of blueberries in natural environments,an improved algorithm combining lightweight networks and attention mechanisms was proposed based on YOLO v5s.Firstly,the structure of the maximum object detection layer was removed at the positions of the backbone network and detection heads,thereby reducing the number of model parameters and enhancing the model’s ability to detect small targets. Secondly,MHSA(Multi‐head self‐attention)was used to replace the C3 module before SPPF(Spatial pyramid pooling‐fast),enabling the model to learn more comprehensive feature representations and enhancing its understanding of complex spatial relationships and contextual information in blueberry images. Finally,S‐PSA(Sequential polarized self‐attention)was added to the C3 module to better capture the contextual dependencies between adjacent regions in the feature map. The experimental results showed that the improved YOLO v5s algorithm improved the detection accuracy of mature blueberries,semi mature blueberries,and immature blueberries by 1.2,4.4,2.6 percentage points,respectively,with average accuracy increase of 2.7 percentage points and 76% reduction in model parameter count. Compared with the current mainstream lightweight object detection models,the improved model has superior performance and can provide an effective solution for the visual system of blueberry picking robots in natural environments.

    ZHENG Xingkai, YANG Tiejun, HUANG Lin
    Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2024, 53 (5): 164-171.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2024.05.018
    Abstract (1617)      PDF (3807KB)(349)       Save
    To enhance the automation of deep convolutional neural network(CNN)design and improve fine‑grained flower image classification accuracy,an advanced neural network search approach based on differentiable architecture search(DARTS) was proposed.This method automatically constructed fine‑grained flower image classification models.Initially,an attention‑convolution module was constructed to create a comprehensive attention‑convolution search space,thereby increasing the network’s focus on discriminative features. Subsequently,a densely connected reduction cell(DCR cell)with more shallow feature input nodes was developed to retain additional shallow feature information,reducing the loss of discriminative feature information and promoting multi‑scale feature fusion.Lastly,the positions of DCR cells were adjusted when stacking the best cells to create network models of varying parameter sizes,enabling deployment on a broader range of terminal devices.The results showed that this method took approximately 4.5 hours to find the optimal neural network model,achieving classification accuracies of 96.14% on the Oxford 102 dataset and 94.12% on the Flower 17 dataset.Compared with methods like AGNAS,it improved accuracy by 1.40 percentage points on Oxford 102 and 3.09 percentage points on Flower 17.

    Aiming at the issues of blurred boundaries,low signal‑to‑noise ratio,mutual adhesion and stacking of mesophyll cells in the image of rice leaf cells,which lead to low segmentation accuracy,we propose an improved U‑Net method for rice leaf cell segmentation. Firstly,the bridge attention(BA)module is introduced into the ResNeXt network to form the BAResNeXt module as the network encoder to improve the network’s attention to mesophyll cells when extracting deep semantic features;secondly,a channel cross‑attention mechanism is added between the encoder and the decoder to ease the semantic ambiguity between the decoder and the encoder to enhance the information fusion of the segmented image features;finally,the SE attention mechanism is used in the upsampling phase of decoder to filter the interference information of image background. In order to verify the effectiveness of the method,it was compared with deep learning networks such as U‑Net,Res‑UNet,U‑Net++ and Deeplabv3+.The results showed that our method had the best performance in rice leaf cell segmentation. The Precision(96.03%),Recall(97.67%),Acc(97.47%),IoU(93.96%)and Dice(96.78%)of our method were all higher than other networks.

    Volume weight is a very important index in the process of wheat quality grade detection.Manual detection and traditional image processing methods have problems such as expensive equipment and low recognition efficiency in wheat quality grade detection,which need to be further improved.The self‑made three grades of wheat grain samples were used as the wheat volume weight dataset,and the U‑Net network was improved according to the characteristics of small grain targets and unclear edge segmentation.On the backbone network,the residual stacking module was used to reduce the feature loss,the CBAM attention mechanism module was embedded in the network bridging part to enhance the further extraction of the features,and the self‑attention mechanism module was embedded in the decoder part to restore the detail information. The results showed that MIoU of the improved network model CBSA_U‑Net was 81.5%,which was 1.8 percentage points higher than U‑Net model,4.2 percentage points higher than PSPNet and 3.3 percentage points higher than DeepLabv3+ model.
