Aiming at the field management of plum grove in Inner Mongolia of China, taking the dense planting plum groves in Bikeqi town of Hohhot City as the research object, this paper proposed a visual navigation path detection algorithm for plum grove. By processing the video image information of plum grove, comparing RGB and HSV color space model, HSV color model was selected to separate the plant and background in V channel. Homomorphic filtering was used to highlight the region of interest in the image, Otsu was selected to segment the image, the intersection of plum trunk and ground was extracted as feature points, and the least square method was used to fit the navigation path. Through the comparative analysis of detection rate under different detection conditions in one day, the verification test of route accuracy was carried out. The experimental results show that: for dense planting plum grove, the average path detection accuracy of the algorithm is 70% and 73.3% under the condition of front light and weak light, respectively. The detection accuracy and real-time meet the requirements of plum grove field management, and the navigation baseline can be generated more accurately, which provides a preliminary basis for the realization of mechanical vision navigation in plum grove field management.

With the development of information technology, precision agriculture has also ushered in new development prospects. The use of farm robots to accurately identify the navigation path is of great significance for achieving accurate positioning of agriculture. In this study, when analysing the extraction algorithm of farm robot visual navigation based on dark primary colours, a method for pre-processing and edge detection of farmland images based on dark primary colours is proposed. At the same time, the least square method of linear fitting is used for the navigation path of agricultural robot, and then the fitting program is executed. On this basis, combined with the actual situation of outdoor farming and greenhouse cultivation of crops, the effectiveness of the robotic visual navigation extraction algorithm was verified. The research results show that for any form of farmland cultivation, image extraction technology based on dark primary colours can effectively distinguish between soil and crops, and the visual navigation path of farm robots fitted with least squares is basically linear, which is consistent with the commonly used crops for farm planting. The legal route is basically the same, and then the effectiveness of the extraction algorithm is verified. It is hoped that this study will provide a certain reference and reference for the analysis of the field navigation robot visual navigation extraction algorithm based on dark primary colours.

In order to solve the current traffic sign detection technology due to the interference of various complex factors, it is difficult to effectively carry out the correct detection of traffic signs, and the robustness is weak, a traffic sign detection algorithm based on the region of interest extraction and double filter is designed.First, in order to reduce environmental interference, the input image is preprocessed to enhance the main color of each logo.Secondly, in order to improve the extraction ability Of Regions Of Interest, a Region Of Interest (ROI) detector based on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSER) and Wave Equation (WE) was defined, and candidate Regions were selected through the ROI detector.Then, an effective HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradient) descriptor is introduced as the detection feature of traffic signs, and SVM (Support Vector Machine) is used to classify them into traffic signs or background.Finally, the context-aware filter and the traffic light filter are used to further identify the false traffic signs and improve the detection accuracy.In the GTSDB database, three kinds of traffic signs, which are indicative, prohibited and dangerous, are tested, and the results show that the proposed algorithm has higher detection accuracy and robustness compared with the current traffic sign recognition technology.

To measure the depth of fire-damaged concrete by ultrasonic method, it was traditionally assumed that the concrete of the fire-damaged structural member could be simply classified into damaged layer and undamaged layer. Based on it, the damage depth can be calculated with a series of single-sided ultrasonic measured data. This method is simple and convenient but less accurate in the practical application. To improve the algorithm, hyperbola curves are adopted to simulate the varying of damage with depth in this paper. And parabolic curves are adopted to simulate the traces of ultrasonic wave in different measured distances. Therefore, the minimum propagation time can be obtained under different damage conditions. Through comparing the calculating results and measured data in different measured distances, the most likely damaged trend can be determined with least square method. At the end of this paper, examples are demonstrated to prove this algorithm feasible and more accurate than the traditional one.

The paper presents a P-wave detection algorithm based on fitting function in the optimal interval. In the algorithm we used quadratic function to fit the P wave by this means of least square method in every interval, which was shifted in local range. Then we found the optimal fitting interval of P wave by comparing the error of fitting. Finally, we obtained the characteristic points of P wave by using the fitting function to fit P wave in the optimal interval. The performance of the algorithm tested using the records of the MIT-BIH database was effective and accurate. The algorithm on the wide range of heart rate variation and small P wave of ECG P-wave detection has good effect. Also it has some capabilities of anti-interference, particularly the false dismissal probability is quite low.

The video images of road monitoring system contain noise, which blurs the difference between the lane and the background. The lane detection algorithm based on traditional Canny edge detector hardly detects the single-pixel lane accurately and it produces pseudo lane. The paper proposes an effective lane detection method based on improved Canny edge detector and least square fitting. The proposed method improves the dual-threshold selection of traditional Canny detector by using the histogram concavity analysis, which sets the optimal threshold automatically. The least square method is used to fit the feature points of detected edges to accurate and single-pixel wide lane. Experimental results show that the proposed method detects the lane of video images accurately in the noise environment.

The accuracy of edge detection determines the accuracy of actual dimension measurement,in order to improve the measuring accuracy, this paper proposes a fast algorithm of detecting the glass bottle dimension based on Zernike moments. Firstly, combines the traditional Zernike moment-based method with Otsu adaptive threshold algorithm and a new fast algorithm for edge detection is proposed. Then uses this fast algorithm to detect the edge of glass bottle with subpixel-level and uses the least square method to fit ellipses formed by the glass bottle mouth and bottom. Calibrated the system with standard gauge block and obtain the actual dimension at last. Experimental results show that the improved algorithm not only can make the edge detection reach the subpixel-level accuracy, but also can avoid the edge misidentification and inefficient causing by repeatedly manual adjustments to select the threshold value when detecting the edge. Making a rapid, accurate, non-contact measuring system becomes a reality.

The automatic identification of 2D (two dimensional) bar code PDF417 is very sensitive to skew angle, but, the common skew angle detection methods have shortcomings such as weak performance in time complexity. In this paper, based on the properties of PDF417 character code and the extraction of feature points, we get skew angle of PDF417 bar code image using the least square method. Experiments show that this algorithm has virtue of less computation and high accuracy.

An algorithm for measurement of the cutting blade of the ultrasonic vibration cutting machine used in an automation machine is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm, which is based upon a multi-step detection method, is developed for the accurate measurement of the cutting blade by exactly determining its rotation angle, length, and thickness. Instead of the commonly used Otsu method, we propose a new curvature-based adaptive binarization method, which provides more accurate details about the dimensions of the cutting blade. A region of interest containing the cutting blade from the acquired image is first extracted in the multi-step detection method, which is further processed to remove the noise, which increases the measurement reliability. An important feature of the proposed process is the restoration of the cutting blade’s tip data, which used to be lost during the fine noise-filtering process. The rotation angle and length are measured using the minimum rotated rectangle while the line fitting based upon the least square method is applied to increase the reliability of the thickness measurement. Experimental results validate the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional Otsu method.

We will develop an efficient method for estimating a smooth nonnegative forward rate sequence using the market price of riskless bonds. This method is an improvement of the classical Carleton–Cooper's method based on standard least square method, which often generates a non-smooth forward rate sequence and hence is not used in practice. The method to be proposed in this paper is intended to resolve this difficulty. We will impose a smoothness condition while maintaining the fitting error within an acceptable level. The resulting optimization problem is shown to be convex in the region of interest. Therefore, we can calculate a globally optimal solution very fast by standard nonlinear programming algorithms. We will demonstrate that this method generates a smooth forward rate sequence at the expense of a very small increase of fitting error.
