Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Sugarcane mechanized planting technology consists of seed preparation and field planting. This study aims at the issues of easy damage to the seeds during the operation of the automatic cutting machine for single-bud segment sugarcane, lack of intelligent seed selection and calibration technology, low recognition accuracy, and the need for manual feeding of the planting machine’s seed meter which leads to seed leakage. This study, based on machine vision and deep learning, optimizes the seed calibration method and proposes an improved YoloV5-STD target detection algorithm to improve the recognition accuracy of seed characteristics and optimize the overall engineering structure. For the planting machine, a new type of hopper for the seed meter is designed using natural rubber as the base material mixed with polystyrene, and the flexible automatic seed metering mechanism is analyzed to achieve automatic feeding and seed metering. Test assessment indicators were formulated based on the enterprise standards of the Institute of Agricultural Machinery Research, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences. Experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the 2DZ-2 type single-bud segment intelligent cutting machine is ≥95%, the bud injury rate is <1.8%, the qualified rate of cutting is 95.8%, and the single-channel cutting efficiency is 64 buds/min. The 2CZD-2C type single-bud segment planter has a planting qualification rate of 96.6%, a planting efficiency of 208 buds/min, and a seed leakage rate of <2.1%.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
