基于K-means聚类的柑橘红蜘蛛图像目标识别 总被引：3，自引：3，他引：3
为快速检测红蜘蛛虫害,该研究采用基于Lab颜色模型中a(红/绿)、b(黄/蓝)层信息的K-means聚类法识别彩色图像中的红蜘蛛。试验选取8幅具有不同清晰度的柑橘红蜘蛛图像,采用基于Sobel边缘检测算子的评价函数计算图像清晰度评价值以评价图像清晰度,对比采用灰度法和包含2、3、4或5个聚类中心的K-means聚类法的目标识别效果和识别效率。结果表明,灰度法对8幅图像中红蜘蛛目标识别率平均值为29%,误判率平均值为201%,无法应用于复杂背景图像中的红蜘蛛目标识别。包含5个聚类中心的K-means聚类法对清晰度较高的图像识别率为100%,误判率为0,对清晰度较低的图像识别率为88%,误判率为0;当图像尺寸较小时,包含4个聚类中心的K-means聚类法识别效率与灰度法相当;当图像尺寸较大时,重复计算聚类中心导致识别耗时较长;基于Lab颜色空间的识别算法无法有效识别其他颜色的红蜘蛛,继续研究的方向为引入红蜘蛛形态信息以提高识别准确率和优化聚类中心的选取以降低识别耗时。 相似文献

为满足变量喷洒对杂草识别正确率的要求,提出一种基于多光谱图像和数据挖掘的杂草多特征识别方法。首先对多光谱成像仪获取的玉米与杂草图像从CIR转换到Lab颜色空间,用K-means聚类算法将图像分为土壤和绿色植物,随后用形态学处理提取出植物叶片图像,在此基础上提取叶片形状、纹理及分形维数3类特征,并基于C4.5算法对杂草分别进行单特征和多特征组合的分类识别。试验结果表明,多特征识别率比单特征识别率高,3类特征组合后的识别率最高达到96.3%。为验证该文提出方法的有效性,将C4.5算法与BP算法以及SVM算法进行比较,试验结果表明C4.5算法的平均识别率高于另2种算法,该文提出的田间杂草快速识别方法是有效可行的。该文为玉米苗期精确喷洒除草剂提供技术依据。 相似文献

基于K-means和近邻回归算法的Kinect植株深度图像修复 总被引：6，自引：3，他引：3
针对Kinect传感器应用于农业植株检测产生的图像噪声问题,特别是由光线以及传感器自身局限导致的匹配图像目标植株数据的缺失,提出一种基于K-means和近邻回归算法的植株深度检测图像修复方法。首先对Kinect传感器获取的彩色RGB图像进行阈值分割预处理提取植株目标区域,再利用K-means聚类算法去除背景噪声,使得植株目标区域轮廓更加清晰;然后基于配准的彩色图像和深度图像,对获取的深度图像中可疑像素点的深度数据采取近邻回归算法进行修复,再将修复后的深度图像与目标分割后的彩色图像进行植株区域的匹配,并进行二次近邻回归算法修正错误的深度数据,最后获取目标植株深度信息的检测图像。试验结果证明,采用RGB阈值分割和K-means聚类算法植株目标区域分割误差均值为12.33%,比单一RGB阈值分割和K-means聚类分割误差降低了12.12和41.48个百分点;同时结合聚类后的彩色图像对深度数据进行两次近邻回归算法修复深度数据,能够提高深度数据边缘的清晰度,单帧深度数据空洞点进行修复数据的准确度提高。该研究结果可为农业植株检测、植株三维重构、精准对靶喷雾等提供参考。 相似文献

基于K-means聚类的植物叶片图像叶脉提取 总被引：1，自引：4，他引：1
植物的叶片是植物最基本、最主要的生命活动场所。叶脉的提取与分析对叶片和整株植物结构的分析有一定的应用价值。该文提出一种基于K-means聚类(clustering)的叶脉提取算法。该算法首先对叶片图像的HSI彩色空间中的I信息进行K-means聚类处理,根据聚类的结果提取叶片边界,并将叶片图像分为受光均匀和受光不均匀的2类。对于受光均匀的叶片图像在聚类结果中直接提取叶脉,而受光不均匀的叶片图像则需去除部分叶肉后再进行一次K-means聚类提取叶脉。结果表明:该算法能有效地降低叶脉提取的错分率。 相似文献

基于空间特征谱聚类算法的含噪苹果图像优化分割 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
为了减少噪声对苹果采摘机器人的目标识别所带来的影响,对含噪苹果图像的分割方法进行了研究。该研究设计一种针对噪声具有鲁棒性的苹果图像分割方法,首先计算苹果图像的三维空间特征点的紧致性函数,用以构造邻近点的相似矩阵实现苹果图像的去噪效果;再利用离群点矩阵拆分并由其他剩余列向量线性表示,对相似矩阵进行离群点调优实现聚类优化,进而提出基于空间特征的谱聚类含噪苹果图像分割的优化算法,旨在提高分割算法的效率和识别准确率。通过对两幅苹果图像添加不同程度的高斯和椒盐噪声（方差分别为0.01、0.05和0.1的高斯噪声和概率为0.01、0.05和0.1的椒盐噪声）进行试验,分别求出谱聚类方法、基于空间特征的谱聚类方法和该文优化方法的苹果目标图像的分割图,并计算三类方法的分割准确率。该文优化方法对于单个苹果受不同噪声影响下的分割准确率均在99%以上,对于重叠苹果的分割准确率均在98%以上,对于所选取的30幅苹果图在方差为0.05的高斯噪声和概率为0.01的椒盐噪声影响下的平均分割准确率为99.014%。结果表明：谱聚类方法受噪声的影响较大;基于空间特征的谱聚类方法的分割效果受噪声的影响较小,但在边界区域仍然有很多错分的像素;优化方法在边界区域的分割要优于基于空间特征的谱聚类方法;在设定的试验条件下,其分割结果准确率相对于基于空间特征的谱聚类方法和传统的谱聚类方法可分别提高5%～6%和9%～25%。在分割效率方面,该文优化方法的分割时间低于传统的谱聚类算法,且与基于空间特征谱聚类方法接近。研究结果为苹果采摘机器人的快速目标识别提供参考。 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing. 相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils. 相似文献

Abstract A 3-year study was carried out to investigate quality parameters in 14 tree fruit and berry species grown in southern Norway. The species were blueberry, apple, aronia, sour cherry, sweet cherry, red raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, red currant and elderberry, harvested along with wild bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry. Significant differences between species were identified for all quality parameters. The coefficient of variation between species was lowest for pH (12.5%), dry matter (18.9%) and soluble solids (25.3%), followed by titratable acids (59.3%), total phenolics (83.8%), antioxidant capacity FRAP (85.7%) and antiradical power by the DPPH-assay (97.8%), total monomeric anthocyanins (132%) and ascorbic acid (137%). Average coefficient of variation within species were lower and ranged from 4 (pH) to 62% (ascorbic acid). Only the FRAP values were significantly affected by harvesting year with lower levels in 2004 than in 2005 and 2006. There were significant interactions between species and harvesting year for dry matter, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid and FRAP. The results indicate generic ranges in composition within species independent upon growing location and climate, and the composition of the tree fruits and berries is not likely to deviate from these ranges. It is concluded that desirable composition of tree fruits and berries and their products should primarily be achieved by selection among species rather than searching fors broadened variation within individual species. 相似文献

Potassium (K) fixation and release in soil are important factors in the long-term sustainability of a cropping system. Changes in K concentration and characteristics of K fixation and release in rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)–rice (Oryza sativa L.) rotation were investigated using a rhizobox system. The concentrations of different forms of K in both rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils decreased with plants compared to without plants, regardless of K fertilizer application. Potassium uptake by crops mainly came from the rhizosphere soil. In the treatment without K fertilizer (–K), the main form of K supplied by the soil to the crops was 1.0 mol L?1 nitric acid (HNO3) nonextractable K, followed by nonexchangeable K, and then exchangeable K. In the treatment with K fertilizer (+K), the main K forms supplied by the soil to the crops were exchangeable K and nonexchangeable K. The amount and rate of K fixation after one cycle of the rapeseed–rice rotation was greater in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The amount and rate of K fixation of soil in the +K treatment were significantly less than in the –K treatment. The cumulative amounts of K released with 1.0 mol L?1 ammonium acetate (NH4OAc) and 1.0 mol L?1 HNO3 extraction increased with the increasing numbers of extractions, but the K-releasing power of soil by successive extraction decreased gradually and finally became almost constant. The release of K was less in rhizosphere soil than in nonrhizosphere soil. The release of K in the +K treatment was similar to that in the –K treatment in rhizosphere soil, but the K release in nonrhizosphere soil was greater with the +K than the –K treatment. Overall, the information obtained in this study will be helpful in formulating more precise K fertilizer recommendations for certain soils. 相似文献

Electron donor and pH relationships for biologically enhanced dissolution of chlorinated solvent DNAPL in groundwater 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Biologically enhanced dissolution offers a method to speed removal of chlorinated solvent dense non-aqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) sources such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichoroethene (TCE) from aquifers. Bioremediation is accomplished by adding an electron donor to the source zone where fermentation to intermediates leading to acetic acid and hydrogen results. The hydrogen and possibly acetic acid are used by dehalogenating bacteria to convert PCE and TCE to ethene and hydrochloric acid. Reductive dehalogenation is thus an acid forming process, and sufficient alkalinity must be present to maintain a near neutral pH. The bicarbonate alkalinity required to maintain pH above 6.5 is a function of the electron donor: 800 mg/L of bicarbonate alkalinity is sufficient to achieve about 1.2 mM TCE dechlorination with glucose, 1.7 mM with lactate, and a much higher 3.3 mM with formate. Laboratory studies indicate that in mixed culture, formate can be used as an electron donor for complete conversion to ethene, contrary to pure cultures studies indicating it cannot. Various strategies can be used to add electron donor to an aquifer for DNAPL dehalogenation while minimizing pH problems and excessive electron donor usage, including use of injection-extraction wells, dual recirculation wells, and nested injection-extraction wells. 相似文献

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions. 相似文献

Inoculation of wheat seedlings with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Cd was immobilized in alginate microbeads and, without applying any stress, significantly increased the quantity of several
photosynthetic pigments, such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and the auxiliary photoprotective pigments violaxanthin, zeaxanthin, antheroxanthin, lutein, neoxanthin, and β-carotene.
This resulted in greener plants with no apparent visible stress. After monitoring the quantity of photosynthetic pigments
for 4 weeks, we observed that inoculated plants had higher quantities of pigments in shoot and stem. The greatest difference
in the quantity of all pigments between inoculated and noninoculated plants occurred in the first week of growth. Regardless
of treatment, the quantity of pigments in stems was three to four times less than the quantity of these pigments in shoots.
Application of Azospirillum, either as liquid inoculant or as alginate microbeads, did not alter the positive effect of the bacteria on pigment production
or the positive response of the plants towards A. brasilense Cd inoculation. 相似文献

Three slow-growing legume trees used for desert reforestation and urban gardening in the Sonoran Desert of Northwestern Mexico
and the Southwestern USA were evaluated whether their growth can be promoted by inoculation with plant growth-promoting bacteria
(Azospirillum brasilense and Bacillus pumilus), unidentified arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (mainly Glomus sp.), and supplementation with common compost under regular screenhouse cultivation common to these trees in nurseries. Mesquite
amargo (Prosopis articulata) and yellow palo verde (Parkinsonia microphylla) had different positive responses to several of the parameters tested while blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida) did not respond. Survival of all tree species was over 80% and survival of mesquite was almost 100% after 10 months of cultivation.
Inoculation with growth-promoting microorganisms induced significant effects on the leaf gas exchange of these trees, measured
as transpiration and diffusive resistance, when these trees were cultivated without water restrictions. 相似文献
