The header frame of full-feeding rice combine harvester was characterized by severe vibration due to the excitation force generated by the movement of each working part. In order to solve the problem, the parametric model of header frame was established, and the accuracy of the finite element model was verified by comparison the results of the free modal analysis and free vibration modal test based on Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA). Then the constrained modal frequencies were calculated and compared with the external excitation source frequencies, the results showed that the first and eighth order modal natural frequencies were coupled with the excitation frequencies of the threshing cylinder and the engine respectively, which was apt to resonate. To avoid resonance and achieve lightweight design, topology optimization and the finite element analysis was carried out. The optimization results showed that the strength and rigidity meet the requirements and the weight was 14.17% lower than before. The first and eighth order modal natural frequencies were far away from the excitation frequencies range of threshing cylinder and engine, and the frequencies were far away from the range of each excitation frequency, which effectively avoided the occurrence of resonance. Field experiments showed that the peak value of the vibration acceleration in the three directions of the 8 measuring points of the optimized header frame was significantly reduced, which effectively reduced the vibration of the header frame during harvest. This study provides a method for obtaining the vibration characteristics of key components of agricultural machinery, and provides a reference for the weight and vibration reduction of header frame of rice, wheat, rape and other crop combine harvesters.

Microalgae harvesting remains a challenging step in microalgae industrialization, thereby provoking the necessity to explore sustainable and economically feasible approaches. This research investigated the use of magnetic flocculated nanoparticles in the harvesting of the common microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Scenedesmus obliquus. The results showed that magnetic flocculated nanoparticles efficiently adsorbed negatively charged microalgae cells, and a magnetic field could adsorb the magnetic flocculated nanoparticles, thereby harvesting the microalgae cells. Harvesting efficiency was remarkably increased at the optimum magnetic field strength of 0.5 T with the magnetic flocculated nanoparticles at 0.738 g/L, and microalgae broth at pH 9.0, whereas the recovery rates of both C. pyrenoidosa and S. obliquus were around 97% and the sedimentation speed of both was above 2.63 cm/min. This study exemplified the magnetic flocculated nanoparticles-based approach to effectively harvest the microalgae cells.

: Crop coverage (CC) is an important parameter to represent crop growth characteristics, and the ahead forecasting of CC is helpful to track crop growth trends and guide agricultural management decisions. In this study, a novel CNN-LSTM model that combined the advantages of convolutional neural network (CNN) in feature extraction and long short-term memory (LSTM) in time series processing was proposed for multi-day ahead forecasting of maize CC. Considering the influence of climate change on maize growth, five microclimatic factors were combined with historical maize CC estimated from field images as the input variables of the forecasting model. The field experimental data of four observation points for more than three years were used to evaluate the performance of CNN-LSTM at the forecasting horizon of three to seven days ahead and compared the forecasting results to CNN and LSTM. The results demonstrated that CNN-LSTM obtained the lowest RMSE and the highest R 2 at all forecasting horizons. Subsequently, the performance of CNN-LSTM under univariate (historical maize CC) and multivariate (historical maize CC+microclimatic factors) input was compared, and the results indicated that additional microclimatic factors were effective in improving the forecasting performance. Furthermore, the 3-day ahead forecasting results of CNN-LSTM in different growth stages of maize were also analyzed, and the results showed that the highest forecasting accuracy was obtained in the seven leaves stage. Therefore, CNN-LSTM can be considered a useful tool to forecast maize CC.

: Unmanned driving of agricultural machinery has garnered significant attention in recent years, especially with the development of precision farming and sensor technologies. To achieve high performance and low cost, perception tasks are of great importance. In this study, a low-cost and high-safety method was proposed for field road recognition in unmanned agricultural machinery. The approach of this study utilized point clouds, with low-resolution lidar point clouds as inputs, generating high-resolution point clouds and Bird's Eye View (BEV) images that were encoded with several basic statistics. Using a BEV representation, road detection was reduced to a single-scale problem that could be addressed with an improved U-Net++ neural network. Three enhancements were proposed for U-Net++: 1) replacing the convolutional kernel in the original U-Net++ with an Asymmetric Convolution Block (ACBlock); 2) adding a multi-branch Asymmetric Dilated Convolutional Block (MADC) in the highest semantic information layer; 3) adding an Attention Gate (AG) model to the long-skip-connection in the decoding stage. The results of experiments of this study showed that our algorithm achieved a Mean Intersection Over Union of 96.54% on the 16-channel point clouds, which was 7.35 percentage points higher than U-Net++. Furthermore, the average processing time of the model was about 70 ms, meeting the time requirements of unmanned driving in agricultural machinery. The proposed method of this study can be applied to enhance the perception ability of unmanned agricultural machinery thereby increasing the safety of field road driving.
近年来,随着精准农业和传感器技术的发展,农业机械的无人驾驶受到了广泛关注。为了实现高性能和低成本,感知任务非常重要。本研究提出了一种低成本、高安全性的无人农机现场道路识别方法。本研究方法利用点云,以低分辨率激光雷达点云为输入,生成高分辨率点云和用几种基本统计编码的鸟瞰(BEV)图像。使用BEV表示,道路检测被简化为一个单尺度问题,可以通过改进的U-Net++神经网络来解决。针对U-Net++提出了三个改进方案:1)用非对称卷积块(ACBlock)取代原始U-Net++中的卷积核;2)在最高语义信息层增加多分支非对称扩展卷积块(MADC);3)在解码阶段为长跳接增加注意门(Attention Gate, AG)模型。本研究的实验结果表明,我们的算法在16通道点云上实现了96.54%的average Intersection Over Union,比U-Net++提高了7.35个百分点。模型的平均处理时间约为70 ms,满足农业机械无人驾驶的时间要求。本文提出的方法可用于增强无人农机的感知能力,从而提高田间道路行驶的安全性。

Timely identification and tracking of abnormal hens in stacked cages are of great significance for precision treatment and the elimination of sick individuals. The head features of the caged-hens are used to overcome observation difficulties caused by the cage and feathers blocking, but it is still hard to identify similar head states. To solve this problem, a fine-grained detection of caged-hens head states was developed using adaptive Brightness Adjustment in combination with Convolutional Neural Networks (FBA-CNN). Grid Region-based CNN (R-CNN), a convolution neural network (CNN), was optimized with the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) and Depthwise Over-parameterized Convolutional (DO-Conv) to detect layer heads from cages and to accurately cut them as single-head images. The brightness of each single-head image was adjusted adaptively and classified through the deep convolution neural network based on SE-Resnet50. Finally, we returned to the original image to realize multi-target detection with coordinate mapping. The results showed that the AP@0.5 of layer head detection using the optimized Grid R-CNN was 0.947, the accuracy of classification with SE-Resnet50 was 0.749, the F1 score was 0.637, and the mAP@0.5 of FBA-CNN was 0.846. In summary, this automated method can accurately identify different layer head states in layer cages to provide a basis for follow-up studies of abnormal behavior including dyspnea and cachexia.

To enhance the transplants' growth and reduce energy use efficiency, Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) transplants (cv. Jingqie 21) were cultivated in a plant factory laboratory under different LED light spectrums. The experimental treatments included white plus blue LED lights (R: B=0.5, WB0.5), white LED lights (R: B=0.9, W0.9), white plus red LED lights (R: B=2.7, WR2.7), white plus red plus UV lights (R: B=3.8, WRUV3.8), and red plus blue plus green LED lights (R: B=5.4, RBG5.4). The transplants were grown for 30 d under a light intensity of 250 μmol/m2·s and a photoperiod of 16 h/d. The morphological indicators and biomass accumulation of eggplant transplants were significantly higher in the W0.9 treatment compared to the other experimental treatments. The photosynthetic quantum yield in the W0.9 treatment exhibited an increase of over 22% compared to that in the WR2.7 treatment. The shoot dry weight of the W0.9 treatment reached (381±41) mg/plant and the leaf area was (113.3±8.9) cm2, indicating a higher health index compared to the other treatments. However, there were no significant differences in the net photosynthetic rate of the leaves among all treatments. The energy yield (EY) of the W0.9 treatment was (37.7±1.8) g/kW·h, which was higher than others. Therefore, considering the high quality of transplants and the maximization of energy use efficiency, the LED light spectrum in the eggplant transplants production was recommended to the white LED light with an R: B ratio of 0.9.

The energy yield (EY) of the W0.9 treatment was (37.7±1.8) g/kW·h, which was higher than others. Therefore, considering the high quality of transplants and the maximization of energy use efficiency, the LED light spectrum in the eggplant transplants production was recommended to the white LED light with an R: B ratio of 0.9.
