Research on Identification Technology of Field Pests with Protective Color Characteristics

Accurate identification of field pests has crucial decision-making significance for integrated pest control. Most current research focuses on the identification of pests on the sticky card or the case of great differences between the target and the background. There is little research on field pest...

description Accurate identification of field pests has crucial decision-making significance for integrated pest control. Most current research focuses on the identification of pests on the sticky card or the case of great differences between the target and the background. There is little research on field pest identification with protective color characteristics. Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to identify pests with protective color characteristics in the complex field environment, a field pest identification method based on near-infrared imaging technology and YOLOv5 is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an appropriate infrared filter and ring light source have been selected to build an image acquisition system according to the wavelength with the largest spectral reflectance difference between the spectral curves of the pest (<i>Pieris rapae</i>) and its host plants (cabbage), which are formed by specific spectral characteristics. Then, field pest images have been collected to construct a data set, which has been trained and tested through YOLOv5. Experimental results demonstrate that the average time required to detect one pest image is 0.56 s, and the mAP reaches 99.7%.
