  • Publication number: 20230343128
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a juvenile fish limb identification method based on a multi-scale cascaded perceptual convolutional neural network. The method includes the following steps: acquiring a video sequence of a juvenile fish, dividing a fish body into five non-overlapping parts, performing semantic annotation on the five non-overlapping parts, and taking the five non-overlapping parts as an input of the multi-scale cascaded perceptual convolutional neural network; and using a convolutional layer as a feature extractor, performing feature extraction on an input image containing the annotation of each limb, inputting extracted features into an Attention-region proposal network (RPN) structure, determining a category of each pixel, and generating a limb mask of each limb category using a multi-scale cascade method. According to the method, the limbs of the juvenile fish can be efficiently and accurately identified, and technical support is provided for posture quantification of the juvenile fish.

  • Patent number: 11160203
    Abstract: The invention relates to an agricultural seeding machine, in particular to a straw crushing and inter-furrow collecting-mulching no-tillage seeder. A straw-crushing device, a guide device, a fertilizer discharging device, and a furrowing and seeding device are sequentially arranged on a rack from front to back. According to the guide device, a plurality of straw-crushing guide assemblies having installation positions capable of being horizontally adjusted are arranged on an adjustment crossbeam, are in a prow shape, and each consist of a rear vertical back plate formed with a fertilization port, and two front symmetrical oblique guide plates. Straw is orderly spread on straw mulching belts between seeding belts while being crushed within the working range, and thus, the seeding belts are free of straw obstacles. The straw crushing and inter-furrow collecting-mulching no-tillage seeder is high in working integrity, easy to assemble, and low in energy consumption.
