    Agricultural robots are an important part of the development of agricultural modernization, and computer vision technology effectively promotes their application in the field of agriculture by perceiving and analyzing crops and the environment. However, because of the complexity and diversity of agricultural scenes, the detailed and annotated large-scale image datasets required by advanced computer vision methods are scarce in the field of agriculture. This lack of datasets is the main challenge in the development of computer vision technology in the field. To solve this problem, this paper presents a large-scale tomato image dataset that can be used for semantic image segmentation, instance segmentation, target detection, and other tasks. The dataset consists of synthetic and real images. The synthetic images include 3250 synthetic tomato images and the corresponding pixel-level semantic segmentation label images; the real images consist of 750 monocular images and 400 binocular images taken by RGB cameras, some of which have detailed manual labels for instance segmentation and target detection. This research aims to enrich many aspects of the dataset, including its capacity, the dimensionality of the annotation information, and the complexity of the scene, and to provide data support for solving future problems in the field of agriculture using computer vision technology.

    Agricultural smart sensors are among the key technologies of intelligent agriculture. This paper describes the concept, characteristics, and implementation methods of smart sensors and introduces the composition, development, and application of agricultural smart sensors. The agricultural smart sensors were classified into three categories, based on the type of information they detect: life information, environmental information, and quality and safety sensors. The life information smart sensors detect plant and animal life information, and the environmental information smart sensors detect information about water, soil, livestock and poultry, and meteorological events. Currently, the application of agricultural smart sensors in China faces several problems. These include a low degree of integration (modular implementation), a heavy reliance on imports for the core components of agricultural smart sensors (sensor components and microcontroller), a low degree of intelligence, and limited application scope. The root causes of these problems mainly lie in the lack of core controllers dedicated to agriculture, the lack of self-developed high-end agricultural sensors, and the lack of dedicated wireless communication network protocols and high-precision smart sensor algorithms. The paper proposes some feasible countermeasures, such as manufacturing China’s “agricultural core” and high-performance MEMS sensors, constructing special agricultural wireless networks, and developing high-performance smart algorithms. If implemented, these countermeasures will help promote the intelligent manufacturing of agricultural smart sensors in China. With the rapid development of smart agriculture, China’s smart manufacturing of agricultural smart sensors is crucial.

    Zhang Chenyang, Yang Xuebing, Zhang Wenshen
    Journal of Agricultural Big Data    2019, 1 (1): 78-87.   DOI: 10.19788/j.issn.2096-6369.190108

    Accurate precipitation nowcasting is essential for agricultural production, hydrological monitoring, flood mitigation, large organizations, and electrical systems. Because of the high uncertainty of weather systems, the performance of precipitation estimation by conventional meteorological methods based on physical models and statistical analysis is unsatisfactory. Determining how to improve the accuracy of precipitation estimation and forecasting in high resolution is challenging. This study proposes the method of terrain-based weighted random forests (TWRF) for radar-based quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE). This method can be regarded as a generalization of random forests via consideration of variations in the vertical profile of reflectivity (VPR) and orographic enhancement of precipitation for complex terrains. The performance was tested within the 45~100 km range of the Z9571 radar in Hangzhou, China during rainfall events in June and July, 2014. The experimental results showed that TWRF is better than conventional methods and random forests, and further indicate that utilization of the entire VPR and terrain-based modeling are effective for radar QPE.

    This paper presents models of the development, management, evolution of national science data center systems in the United States, the United Kingdom, and China. Our methods include network research and literature analysis to analyze the construction process, management mode and evaluation methods of these science data center sys‐ tems. In the United States, national data centers, domain-level data centers, and resource-node data centers exist and share data in an orderly manner, forming a data flow model from“the capillary to the aortic convergence.”In the United Kingdom, national level and field research data centers form a data flow model with“several parallel aortas”, in which data is directly obtained from the national and domain-level data centers. In China, similar to the US convergence model, national science data centers are established in key areas throughout the country to stan‐ dardize science data management and plan and build science data centers in the regions. The regional data cen‐ ters are encouraged to submit data to national data centers, thereby promoting the flow of scientific and technological resources from the relevant fields to the national platforms for convergence and integration. Our paper also considers the adjustment list released by the National Science Data Centers of China in June 2019, discussing the ecological correlation in scientific data management of National science data center and its science data management model relative to the new model that China's science data management may face. It is argued that the National Scientific Data Centers will play an important role in promoting the development of big science in China and provide support for the development of science and technology in the era of big data.

    Traditional methods of rice phenological phase feature extraction based on time-series remote sensing images require high temporal resolution, which is difficult to meet due to imaging conditions. Due to the different environmental conditions in different rice growing regions, the rice planting area extraction method based on single image has poor generalization ability. In this paper, similar optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data were selected to reduce the spatiotemporal information differences in rice planting area images. The spatial feature information of optical data and backscatter information of SAR data were effectively used to extract rice features by using a two-structure network model through pan-spatio-temporal feature fusion. Experiments show that the overall test accuracy of the training model validation set on the rice datasets of Sanjiang Plain and Feixi County is 95.66%, and the Kappa coefficient is 0.8805. The results of rice extraction in Nanchang City were in good agreement with the actual field boundaries, and the overall extraction accuracy was 86.78%, which proved the generalization ability and practicability of the pan-temporal feature model.

    Sensitivity Analysis of Genetic Parameters of RiceGrow Model
    Yijun Meng, Xiaolei Qiu, Leilei Liu, Bing Liu, Yan Zhu, Weixing Cao, Liang Tang
    Journal of Agricultural Big Data    2021, 3 (3): 23-32.   DOI: 10.19788/j.issn.2096-6369.210303

    Genetic parameter calibration is an important step before applying the crop growth model, which often calls for a lot of time and effort. Sensitivity analysis can help to identify sensitive parameters, improve calibration efficiency, and simplify the model. Using Simlab and Matlab software, this study analyzed the sensitivity of rice genetic parameters of RiceGrow model by EFAST method and obtained the parameter sensitivity of the model in different regions and under different climate scenarios (historical meteorological data from 1981 to 2015 and global future warming 2.0℃ climate scenarios). The TDCC (Top-Downward-Coefficient of Concordance) coefficient was used to calculate the sensitivity ranking consistency. The results showed that Optimum Temperature (OT) was the most sensitive parameter affecting flowering period and total dry matter, followed by Temperature Sensitivity (TS), Photoperiod Sensitivity (PS) and Intrinsic Earliness (IE). OT was the most sensitive parameter affecting maturity period and the whole growth period. TS, IE, PS and Basic Filling Factor (BFF) were also sensitive parameters. The sensitive parameters affecting yield are mainly maximum CO2 assimilation rate (AMX), Specific Leaf Area (SLA) and Harvest Index (HI), followed by IE, TS, BFF, OT and PS. The sensitivity parameters in all regions and under different climate scenarios are relatively consistent, but the sensitivity ordering varies greatly. The sensitivity indexes of most parameters under warming climate scenarios slightly increase, while a few slightly decrease. The variation of parameter sensitivity under different climate scenarios is small, while which among different regions is large. When calibrating the model for phenology and dry matter, OT is the most sensitivity. In areas with low temperature and high latitude, the parameters related to temperature, photoperiod and photosynthesis should be focused. When calibrating the parameters of the yield, we need to focus on AMX, HI, SLA. Relative growth rate of LAI is not sensitive, so it can be ignored in parameter calibration, and can also be eliminated from the model to simplify the model. The results would be used to localize crop model and provide a way to improve the efficiency of parameter calibration.

    As agricultural production, management, operations, and services enter the big data era, standardization is becoming increasingly important in ensuring the comparability between the collected results generated by diverse devices and instruments, compatibility between multi-source data, integrability between multiple types of data analysis systems, the quality of agricultural products at a global scale, and the coherence between different production and management processes. This article summarizes the domestic and foreign standards in the field of agricultural big data. There are currently few standards and norms that can directly guide the development of agricultural big data. Research studies for a big data standards framework are critically needed to guarantee and promote the continuous and in-depth development of agricultural big data applications. This paper draws on the methods proposed by the International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission to analyze the standard system for a framework from the perspectives of enterprice, information, computation, engineering, and technology. From informational and computational perspectives, the needs in developing agricultural big data standards were analyzed, and a framework for an agricultural big data standard system is proposed. This framework contains standards for fundamental guidelines, general practice, and applications. Among these needs, the fundamental guidelines for agricultural big data are the basis for the formulation and coordination of agricultural big data standards, including national big data-related laws, regulations, policies, and national standards related to big data. The general standards for agricultural big data include four categories of common agricultural standards: i.e., agricultural big data foundation, agricultural big data collection and processing, agricultural big data management, and agricultural big data-sharing services. The agricultural big data application standards are the agriculture standards and regulations formulated for specific parts of the whole process of agricultural big data, such as agricultural elements and ownership information, agricultural production processes, and agricultural operation and management. The design of the agricultural big data standard system is a complex and huge systematic project that requires the participation of multisector and multidisciplinary personnel, and it is one of the top priorities in agricultural big data development.

    Agriculture is the main industry in China. A safe, credible, stable, traceable, information-sharing, and large-throughput agricultural supply chain system is needed to achieve agricultural informatization. At present, information about China’s agricultural product supply chain has been stored in a centralized database and file system, with weak information management capabilities, leading to problems such as theft, tampering, deletion, and inconsistencies. In light of these problems, an efficient extraction method which combines an interstellar distributed file system and smart contract technology for heterogeneous information data in agricultural product supply chain is established. This method achieved fast extraction of large heterogeneous information transaction logs which including agricultural product production information, recording transportation information, consumer credit information, farmer-consumer transaction services. All kinds of information transaction logs and transaction records are stored in blockchain and IPFs network respectively. It proposed an access control method for agricultural product supply chain information data based on blockchain smart contracts, combined with an access method based on IPFS hash addressing, which can effectively ensure different agricultural production and operation participants access data within their authorities. A data management system of agricultural products supply chain based on blockchain technology is designed, which can ensure the transforming and upgrading of agriculture, thereby helping farmers increase their income and eliminate poverty.

    Fresh agricultural products mainly include vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, and aquatic products. The degree of freshness of perishable primary products determines their own value. In 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has had a huge impact on people's lives, further affecting the development process of China's fresh agricultural products industry and posing new challenges to the existing supply chain system of fresh agricultural products. Our investigation and analysis show that during the epidemic period, there were negative phenomena such as the contradiction between supply and demand of fresh agricultural products, the slow information transmission of the supply chain, and the narrow purchase channels of suppliers. At the same time, we also identify positive outcomes, such as the recovery of cold chain logistics and new developments in the fresh agricultural supply chain. To further understand the outbreak period, we conducted a survey on the running status of fresh agricultural products. This paper investigates the rise in purchases of fruits and vegetables by studying data from 500 consumers in seven regions including central and southern region. We also investigate the problem of the quality of fruits and vegetables and the future development of the fruit and vegetable industry, and we identify three ways of understanding the changes in the fruit and vegetable supply system since the purchasing outbreak. The study concludes that during the imbalance in the supply and demand of fruits and vegetables, when demand for fruits and vegetables is high, problems arise because of limitations of the fresh product supply system in China. Four factors are important to the future development of the fresh agricultural products supply chain system: the integration of the online supply chain model; the wisdom of the logistics supply chain; the strategic alliance model of agricultural products supply chain; and the demand of the agricultural products supply chain pattern. Together these four factors can ensure the stability and orderly development of the fresh agricultural products industry in the context of normalized epidemic prevention.

    The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) have created a modern cotton planting system with regional characteristics in China. This new system advances Chinese production techniques in the aspects of agricultural intensification, scale, development of agricultural machinery, and application of modern agricultural technology. During the years of systematic development and performance, massive data were accumulated by XPCC in the cotton planting field. As big data technology has become an important driving force for the development of intelligent agriculture in China, how to apply this technology to further improve the intelligent level of the cotton planting system and realize the healthy, efficient, and sustainable development of the whole cotton industry chain is a key problem in strengthening and enhancing XPCC’s ability to reclaim and defend the Chinese border in the information age. Thus, we constructed a big data platform that covers the entire industrial chain for cotton production in China based on a mature commercial big data storage and analysis system framework to promote the cooperation of industry, colleges, and institutes for cotton production big data in the XPCC. This platform was comprised of data, model, system, and application layers from the bottom up. In each layer, the cotton production chain was analyzed using five dimensions of agricultural resources, agricultural monitoring, production management, agricultural machinery scheduling, and market prediction. After completion, the developed platform intends to provide big data for comprehensive management and sharing, remote-sensing monitoring, agricultural machinery operation monitoring and maintenance, intelligent decision-making, quality traceability, and market early warning and prediction services for cotton production to potential users involved in cotton production and management. Finally, this paper analyzes the problems encountered in data sharing, model upgrades, and service modes in the process of platform research and development, and puts forward some suggestions to provide references for agricultural big data resource sharing and platform construction in China.

    Agricultural pests are important reasons affecting crop yield and quality. Aphid is an important group of agricultural pest. Detecting and counting aphids is an important link for early detection and management of this pest. With the development of information technology, many experts and scholars have conducted extensive research on the identification of agricultural pests using computer vision, and have made certain progress. High-quality and large-scale basic data often play a decisive role in the development of computer vision, but the lack of this kind of image data is one of the challenges faced by pest identification. Aphids have features such as small size, dense distribution, inter insect shelter, and multiple forms of same species. These features also pose a serious challenge for the detection and counting of aphids. This article provides a total of 6287 high-definition original images, including a dataset of 13 agricultural pests (aphids) including peach aphid, cotton aphid, and grain constrictor aphid, etc. These aphid images were collected using DSLR cameras in a natural field environment. In order to ensure the high quality and reliability of the data, these images are cleaned and organized by professional personnel, and identified and classified by experts in the field of plant protection. This dataset can provide a data foundation for recognition, detection, counting and classification of aphids.

    The digital economy is a new form of economic and social development that arose after the agricultural economy and industrial economy, and it is one of the important engines leading global economic growth. The digital economy has become the most active area of China's economic development and an effective way to achieve sustainable economic development. Agriculture is the basic industry in China, and digital agriculture is an important part of China's digital economy. The development of digital agriculture is conducive to the realization of accurate decision-making and guidance in agricultural production, the promotion of agricultural competitiveness, and the sharing of digital economic development dividends among all farmers. The key factor of production in the digital economy is digital knowledge and information, namely digital resources. Digital resources in agricultural and rural areas include information such as databases, electronic documents, pictures, videos, web pages, and remote sensing images. At present, China's agricultural and rural informatization level is not high, and digital resources are relatively scarce. There are some practical problems in agricultural and rural digital resources, such as decentralization, inconsistent standards, and a lack of a digital resource management system covering the whole life cycle of data. It is necessary to carry out research and design work on the architecture of agricultural and rural digital resources, establish relevant standards and norms from a top-level perspective, improve and enhance the organizational form of digital resources, and build a blueprint for agricultural and rural digital resources. This paper analyses the classification of agricultural and rural digital resources by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO) United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) and designs the whole life cycle of digital resources covering agriculture and the countryside. This life cycle includes planning, design, collection, storage, processing, management, service, and use of data. Further, this paper establishes the architecture of digital resources in agriculture and the countryside. It focuses on the structure of an agricultural and rural thematic database, and presents the key construction tasks and development suggestions for improving the agricultural and rural digital resources system.

    Objective

    The effective integration and scientific analyses of basic information between the big data of Xinjiang cotton field soil microbial resources and the multiple heterogeneous agricultural resources data were performed.

    Method

    In accordance with cotton planting areas in different regions and of different maturity levels in Xinjiang, as determined using the agricultural big data platform of Xinjiang Production Corp., the microbial group database and big data visualization analysis process of a typical cotton field ecosystem in China were established. Using LEfse and an RDA analysis, the soil microbial diversity and community structure in Xinjiang cotton fields from 2017 to 2019 were analyzed, and the effective integration of cotton field soil microbial resources and multiple heterogeneous agricultural resources data was realized by modeling.

    Results

    The Xinjiang cotton field soil microbial resources database and the visualization analysis of soil microbial diversity, which provided approximately 1.7 GB of soil microbial information and 5–6 GB of environmental information, were preliminarily established. Using the platform, soil bacterial community structures in the Exceptional Early Maturing Cotton Areas (Bole, Shihezi, and Fukang), Early Maturing Cotton Area (Kuitun), and Early–Middle Maturing Cotton Area (Hami) were found to have changed greatly at the phylum level, with Proteobacteria accounting for 20.9% to 29.8%, Acidobacteria accounting for 16.1% to 30.6%, Verrucomicrobia accounting for 7.0% to 28.9%, and Chloroflexi accounting for 6.6% to 21.2%. The LEfse revealed that there were 255 different species, with Sphingomonasdales, Desulfobacterales, and Geobacter being the main species having different microbial community structures in Northern Xinjiang.

    Conclusion

    The collection, management, and analysis of soil microbial diversity data in the Xinjiang cotton area plays an important supporting role in the construction and application of a big data platform for cotton production and agriculture from the Xinjiang Production Corp., which will lay a scientific foundation for the protection and utilization of soil microbial diversity resources in China.

    As large-scale beef cattle facilities become more and more common in China, sophisticated and even intelligent management of cattle has gained prominence. In the meantime, the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and even large models are developing at a rapid pace and are constantly permeating in all industries, making the intelligent management, including traditional breeding, possible. In this study, Yangxin Yi Liyuan 5G digital farm was used as the research object, which integrated application of intelligent electronic ear tags and intelligent collars, as well as a variety of environmental sensors for temperature and humidity, ammonia, carbon dioxide, wind direction and speed, light and air quality (H2S, PM2.5, PM10, TSP). Simultaneously, a comprehensive dynamic perception of individual physiological indicators, such as the degree of exercise and rumination, was utilized to determine the estrus period of breeding cattle and forecast the ideal breeding period, and was employed to ascertain the estrus period of breeding cattle, forecast the ideal mating period, and determine whether the feed adjustment was necessary by monitoring variations in rumination time. Comprehensively monitoring the environmental indicators, such as temperature, humidity and air quality, is necessary to accurately manage and ventilate the cattle house. The pertinent data was analyzed using the MY SQL database technology and DELPHI language technology. In order to create a digital control platform for the breeding environment, health status, epidemic prevention, and feed management of beef cattle, this research built a digital control platform that integrated automatic collection of key data in breeding links, automatic conversion and calculation of data, wired and wireless transmission of data, remote storage and processing control of data, and so on. This study also shown that the more the system was used and improved, the more data was collected and extended in both size and type during the breeding process, and the more fundamental and derived data could be mined and appreciated. This paved way for the eventual development of a large-scale model for breeding beef cattle in the future.

    Plant phenotypes refer to the physical, physiological and biochemical characteristics and traits that are determined or influenced by genes and environmental factors. Accurate and rapid access to plant phenotypic information under different environmental conditions, and the analysis of the genetic and performance patterns of their genomes, can effectively promote research on the correlation between genomic and phenotypic information. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) high-throughput plant phenotyping platform is suitable for acquiring plant phenotypic data in field environments owing to the UAV’s mobility and flexibility, and it has the great advantages of a high data acquisition efficiency and low cost. With the help of advanced sensor technologies, such as hyperspectral imaging and LIDAR, the UAV provides a feasible way to efficiently acquire plant phenotypic data. Effective analyses and processing methods and techniques for plant phenotypic data acquired by UAVs must be employed. Thus, high-throughput plant phenotypic analyses based on UAV platforms provides an important tool for studying plant phenotypic information from the field. This paper summarizes and analyzes the latest research results of UAV-based high-throughput crop phenotyping using big data analysis technology and artificial intelligence, as well as its research principles, relevant algorithms, processes, key technologies and applications. The main focus is on big data processing and intelligent analysis techniques related to UAV-based high-throughput plant phenotype big data and to the analysis of typical phenotypes, such as plant height, leaf area index, and plant diseases. We analyzed the current research needs and provide both a summary and outlook on related applications.

    [Related Concepts]Blockchain is a decentralized, open and shared distributed database that has the characteristics of decentralization, high openness, anonymity, machine autonomy, anti-tampering, and traceability. [Current Research Status]At present, blockchain has become a leading technology to advance the development of countries worldwide and has been applied in many fields, including finance, education, and medical care. Its applications are continuously emerging, and China has now included it as part of the national technology strategy. Most of the available research literature on blockchain technology focuses on its development and application in the financial sector. Few studies have attempted a systematic review of the development process and characteristics of blockchain technology, and "blockchain + agriculture" is still in its infancy. [Summary of This Paper]This paper systematically combs the main development process of blockchain, divides it into four stages (origin of the technology, blockchain 1.0, blockchain 2.0, and blockchain 3.0), summarizes the main characteristics and development status of each stage, and discusses in depth representative cases of blockchain application in the agricultural sector. By combing the development process and analyzing the application cases, this paper explores the application potential of blockchain technology, summarizes new opportunities for blockchain in agriculture, and puts forward ideas for using blockchain technology in agriculture in China. [Prospect]The application of blockchain technology can effectively reduce information asymmetry, improve information transparency, reduce data storage costs, and contribute to the development of modern agriculture. To make blockchain technology more applicable to agriculture, we need to understand the problems and challenges that may arise in the future, while still devising targeted measures to promote the development of blockchain for the agricultural sector.

    As grain pests cause a major post-harvest loss in stored grains, early detection and monitoring of grain pest activities become necessary for applying appropriate actions to reduce storage losses. With the development of artificial intelligence, image detection methods based on deep learning have been widely used in agriculture. However, current research in stored grain pest detection is relatively limited. The quality of the dataset will determine the level of knowledge that deep learning models can learn. Therefore, constructing a specialized dataset for grain pest detection and counting is of great significance. The proposed dataset GrainPest includes 500 original images of grain insects, 500 pixel-level saliency annotation images, 420 files with insect bounding boxes and 500 entries of pest counts. The data set covers various grain pests such as corn weevil, wheat moth, grain beetle, and corn borer, as well as different types of grain backgrounds such as wheat, corn, and rice. Due to the fact that many grains are not infected with pests, the GrainPest also includes 80 pure grain background images without any pest, which bring more challenge for saliency detection. The GrainPest provides a benchmark dataset to promote the research of saliency detection, object detection, and pests counting in stored grains, and the work will provide support for reducing grain storage losses and ensuring food security.
