Discrimination of Acacia seeds at species and subspecies levels using an image analyzer

Seeds of Acacia species and subspecies were characterized using an image analyzer and discriminated for the purpose of identification of species, using their seeds. The species considered in the study were Acacia nilotica subsp. indica, A. nilotica subsp. cupressiformis, A. nilotica subsp. tomentosa, A. tortilis subsp. raddiana, A. tortilis subsp. spirocarpa, A. raddiana, A. senegal, A. auriculiformis, A. farnesiana, A. leucophloea, A. mearnsii, A. melanoxylon, A. planifrons and A. mangium. Eight samples each consisting of 25 seeds per species were studied using the image analyzer for physical characteristics of seeds, such as 2D surface area, length, width, perimeter, roundness, aspect ratio and fullness ratio. Discriminant analysis showed that acacias can be discriminated at species and subspecies levels, with 96% accuracy. Exceptions were A. nilotica subsp. tomentosa(75.0%), A. tortilis subsp. spirocarpa(75.0%) and A. raddiana(87.5%) which had relatively low discrimination accuracy. However, discriminant analysis within selected species showed complete recognition of these species except for A. tortilis subsp. spirocarpa, that had still a large overlap with A. leucophloea. The study also revealed that both seed size and shape characteristics were responsible for species discrimination. It can be concluded that rapid analysis of seed size and shape characteristics using image analysis techniques can be used as primary and secondary keys for identification of acacias.

基于种子图像处理的大数目玉米品种形态识别

玉米种子鉴别是种子质量检验和育种实践的重要内容。为了评价通过图像处理采集种子特征进行大数目品种鉴别的可行性,扫描了193个品种各50粒种子图像,建立和检验了由4大类46个种子形态特征及其组合组成的6种识别模型。大小类、形状类、纹理类、颜色类、后3类组合、全部4类组合等模型的品种检出率分别为25%、33%、39%、95%、95%和95%,平均籽粒拒真率分别为90%、90%、86%、45%、47%和42%,认伪率为92%、92%、88%、46%、48%和43%,且后两个误判率高度正相关（r=0.83^＊＊-0.91^＊＊）。机器视觉检测具有成本和速度上的优势,能够用于大数目玉米品种的真伪鉴定,形状＋纹理＋颜色组合模型最佳,经改进技术识别率可以进一步提高。

基于形状特征的脱绒棉种品种识别

该文以中棉50、新陆早26、新陆早33棉花品种为研究对象,基于图像处理技术提取了脱绒棉种的面积周长类、最大径类、椭圆类和区域矩类共14个形状特征参数,并运用多元统计分析方法,利用统计学中的集中趋势指标与离散程度指标对数据进行分析,将综合特征指标作为品种判别的参数;利用SPSS软件,用逐步判别分析法建立了3个品种的识别模型,得出3个线性分类函数,经验证,预测组成员中,中棉50、新陆早26和新陆早33的正确率分别为90%,80%,100%,判别效果显著。

基于高光谱图像的玉米种子特征提取与识别

玉米种子的形态特征是玉米品种识别的重要因素之一.采用高光谱成像系统获取9个品种共432粒玉米种子的高光谱反射图像,对图像进行校正和预处理,提取每个样本在563.6～911.4nm共55个波段范围内的形状特征.分别利用单波段、多波段和全波段下的玉米种子形状特征结合偏最小二乘判别法进行模型分类.结果显示,全波段范围内训练集和测试集的平均正确识别率达到98.31%和93.98%,均优于多波段和单波段的正确识别率.研究表明,该方法能充分利用高光谱图像中可见光和近红外区域的有效特征信息,较准确地鉴别玉米品种,为玉米品种的自动识别领域提供了一种新方法.
