Resumen

Buckwheat plant height is an important indicator for producers. Due to the decline in agricultural labor, the automatic and real-time acquisition of crop growth information will become a prominent issue for farms in the future. To address this problem, we focused on stereo vision and a regression convolutional neural network (CNN) in order to estimate buckwheat plant height. MobileNet V3 Small, NasNet Mobile, RegNet Y002, EfficientNet V2 B0, MobileNet V3 Large, NasNet Large, RegNet Y008, and EfficientNet V2 L were modified into regression CNNs. Through a five-fold cross-validation of the modeling data, the modified RegNet Y008 was selected as the optimal estimation model. Based on the depth and contour information of buckwheat depth image, the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), and mean relative error (MRE) when estimating plant height were 0.56 cm, 0.73 cm, 0.54 cm, and 1.7%, respectively. The coefficient of determination (R2) value between the estimated and measured results was 0.9994. Combined with the LabVIEW software development platform, this method can estimate buckwheat accurately, quickly, and automatically. This work contributes to the automatic management of farms.
