Abstract
The soybean-maize strip intercropping mode has been widely popularized, yet existing plant protection machinery fails to dynamically adjust pesticide application according to crop zones, suffers from poor pesticide application accuracy, and is prone to causing crop damage. Aiming at the above problems, this study proposed a precise strip-zoning pesticide application method for soybean and maize and established an automatic strip-zoning pesticide application control system based on machine vision. Perspective transformation was adopted to correct image viewing angles; after subsequent processing via excess green binarization and opening-closing operations, a dynamic ROI (Region of Interest) positioning and recognition algorithm for crop rows based on the peak value method was applied. The least square method was used to extract crop row lines, the offset was calculated according to the geometric relationship of the centerlines of soybean and maize zones, and an automatic strip-zoning offset compensation model was constructed to achieve precise strip-zoning. Field experiment results show that: under conditions with little shadow and stable light, the recognition algorithm achieved the optimal performance with an accuracy of up to 92%. At operating speeds of 2–5 km/h, the automatic strip-zoning pesticide application control system had a mean strip-zoning deviation of ≤3.16 cm, with the proportion of deviations within 5 cm reaching 84% (up to 94%). Under wind speeds of 1.4–2.9 m/s, the maximum droplet drift deposition amount of the closed anti-drift device was 9.41 particles per cm², delivering favorable strip-zoning pesticide application performance, which provides data support and a reference for field precision plant protection operations under the strip intercropping mode.
