Abstract: | Machine vision technology has real-time, high-precision, and adaptability to adverse environments, which could be used in various stages of maize production to improve production management efficiency. Through literature review and analysis, the current research status of machine vision technology in fields such as maize seed management, quality management, pest and disease management, and field management are summarized in this paper. It is also pointed out that the bottleneck in the application of machine vision technology in the maize industry lies in difficulties in machine vision system research and development, low enthusiasm for application, and serious shortage of technical personnel in promotion and extension. In respect of these issues suggestions are proposed including strengthening collaborative development to reduce costs, improving the level of field information management to expand production scale, and increasing efforts in science popularization and technical services. |
