  • Publication number: 20240135570
    Abstract: A method for improving estimation of leaf area index in an early growth stage of wheat based on red-edge bands of Sentinel-2 satellite images includes the following steps: acquiring field background spectrum and wheat canopy spectrum information by means of Sentinel-2; respectively acquiring a “straw-soil” spectrum and a “wheat-straw-soil” spectrum, and calculating slopes of red-edge areas of the “straw-soil” spectrum and the “wheat-straw-soil” spectrum; calculating a tangent function SATF corrected by a background adjustment coefficient ?; constructing a wheat LAI estimation model based on a spectral variable SATFNIR-RE2; performing preliminary screening on the LAI estimation model using cross validation; and then testing the screened model with independent data.

  • Patent number: 11941553
    Abstract: The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a method, an electronic device, and a storage medium for a ship route optimization. The method for the ship route optimization considers a dynamic feature of a multi-functional emergency rescue ship and an interference effect caused by an airflow, uses a movement model with kinematics non-holonomic constraints, such as a ship total cost assessment function to simulate the movement of the ship, and based on a sparrow search algorithm, learns how to apply the algorithm to a route plan of the emergency rescue ship. The method can improve the ship route optimization algorithm, improve an accuracy and practical applicability of a calculated plan. The method can effectively and accurately locate obstacles and hidden reefs, and consider effects of an airflow and a non-holonomic constraint effect, so as to make the route planning of the ship more efficient and intelligent.
