摘要: 【目的】建立玉米品种的叶片透射图像特征数据库,研究特征随品种的变化规律,分析各类特征的识别效果,为进一步研究玉米生长期间的机器视觉品种识别提供依据。【方法】以生产中推广的21个常规玉米品种为供试材料,分别采集拔节期、小喇叭口期、大喇叭口期、抽雄开花期4个生育时期的玉米叶片。在灯箱内,采集每一叶片的高画质透射图像,共计420张。基于Matlab R2009a开发了“玉米叶片特征提取与识别软件”,包括图像预处理、特征提取、神经网络识别和阈值选取4个功能模块。依据开发的特征识别平台,对玉米叶片透射图像进行图像预处理和特征提取。提取形态类、颜色类和纹理类共计48个特征,特征数据量共计20 160条。分析48个特征品种间的变异系数,研究玉米叶片透射图像特征随品种的变化规律。建立BP神经网络模型进行综合识别,分析不同时期单特征的识别效果,寻找玉米叶片透射图像中品种区分能力较强的重要特征。进一步分析不同时期3大类特征及其组合的识别效果。【结果】在玉米的4个生育时期,叶片透射图像3类特征品种间的变异系数差异比较明显,颜色类特征变异系数最大,其次是纹理类特征变异系数,形态类特征变异系数最小,并且这种差异随着玉米的生长十分稳定。在玉米的4个生育时期,叶片透射图像48个特征的品种识别率差异比较明显,为9.52%—29.33%。R分量的标准差、短轴长、H分量的标准差、等面圆直径、H分量的平均值、V分量的标准差、B分量的标准差、不变矩6、椭圆度、S分量的平均值、外接凸多边形面积、B分量的平均值、平滑度、S分量的峰度、S分量的标准差的识别率较高,平均识别率在18%以上。单类特征中,颜色类特征识别率最高,平均86.76%;纹理类特征次之,平均为78.05%;形态类特征最低,平均为68.67%。颜色类特征和纹理类特征识别的稳定性较高,纹理类特征识别效果更稳定一些。组合特征中,形态+颜色特征组合识别率最高,平均识别率为92.29%;颜色+纹理类特征组合次之,平均为90.29%;形态+纹理类特征组合识别率最低,但平均识别率也达到了87.43%。在拔节期,3类特征组合的识别率无明显差异,且都在91%以上。在小喇叭口期,颜色+纹理特征组合识别率大幅上升,形态+颜色特征组合识别率小幅下降,形态+纹理特征组合识别率下降较大,但是仍然维持在82%以上。在其他3个时期,形态+纹理特征组合和颜色+纹理特征组合识别率差别不大,并且形态+颜色特征组合识别率相对较高。【结论】研究结果为玉米叶片透射图像特征的研究与应用提供了比较系统全面的数据,为生长期间玉米品种的识别提供了新的方法和量化依据,也必将在其他作物的识别方面发挥很好的借鉴作用。

Abstract: 【Objective】The purpose of the study was to create database of characteristics from maize leaf transmission images, analyze the rules of characteristics variation with maize varieties and the recognition results of different types of characteristics in order to provide a basis for further research of identifying maize varieties from leaf transmission image of different growth periods based on machine vision. 【Method】 Twenty-one common varieties of maize were selected as the research materials. The maize leaves at jointing stage, small bell stage, large bell stage and tasselling stage were collected. A total of 420 high quality transmission images of maize leaves were taken in lamp box. The software for characteristic extraction and recognition of maize leaves was designed and developed based on Matlab R2009a, which included image preprocessing module, characteristic extraction module, neural network recognition module and threshold selection module. The transmission images of maize leaves at jointing stage, small bell stage, large bell stage and tasselling stage were pre-processed by the software. Then 48 characteristics of color group, shape group and texture group were extracted from transmission images of maize leaf, and a total of 20 160 characteristic data. In order to study the rules of characteinristics variation with maize varieties, the coefficient of variation of 48 characteristics of leaf transmission image among different maize varieties were analyzed. In order to search the important characteristics with strong ability of identifying maize varieties from transmission images of leaves, the Artificial Neural Network was built and the recognition rate of single characteristics from different time were analyzed. In order to study the recognition results, the recognition rates of the three groups of characteristics and the group combinations of characteristics from different time were further analyzed. 【Result】 The results in 4 stages indicated that there were significant differences in the coefficient of variation of 3 groups of characteristics among different maize varieties. The differences were stable with the growth of maize. The coefficient of variation of color group was the highest, then the texture group and the third was the shape group. The results at 4 stages also indicated that there were significant differences among the recognition rates of 48 single characteristics. The recognition rates were between 9.52% and 29.33%. According to the recognition rates, the important characteristics were in the following order: the standard deviation of R, the minor axis length, the standard deviation of H, the diameter, the average value of H, the standard deviation of V, the standard deviation of B, the invariant moment 6, the eccentricity, the average value of S, the external convex polygon area, the average value of B, the smoothness, the kurtosis of V, and the standard deviation of S. Those average recognition rates was over 18%. The average recognition rate of the color group was the highest which was 86.76%, then the texture group which was 78.05%, and the third was the shape group which was 68.67%. The stability of recognition rates of the texture group was the highest, then the color group and the third was the shape group. The average recognition rate of combinations of shape group and color group was the highest which was 92.29%, then the combinations of color group and texture group which was 90.29%, and the third was the combinations of shape group and texture group which was 87.43%. At jointing stage, there was no obvious difference among the recognition rates of combinations of 3 groups. At small bell stage, the recognition rate of the combinations of color group and texture group rose sharply, while the recognition rate of the combinations of shape group and color group fell slightly, and the recognition rate of the combinations of shape group and texture group showed a marked decline, which still remained above 82%. There was no significant difference between recognition rates of the shape group and texture group and the color group and texture group at jointing stage, large bell stage and tasselling stage. And the recognition rate of combinations of the shape group and color group was always the highest. 【Conclusion】 This study has provided rich primary data on characteristics from maize leaf transmission images, and has provided a quantitative basis and a new method for further research of identifying maize varieties in different growth periods, which will play a good reference role in crop varieties identification.
