Design and trial of precision spraying system for weeds in winter wheat field at tillering stage by Bo Li, Peijie Guo, Yu Chen, Jun Chen, Haiying Wang, Jing Zhang, Zhixing Zhang

“…In this study, a precision spraying control method is proposed to reduce the effect of camera frame rate on weed localization failure through three sets of position determination regions, and to address the effect of solenoid valve response frequency on precision spraying by controlling the spray nozzle to continuously spray herbicides on clustered weeds through a velocity-adaptive dynamic overlap region. To improve the accuracy of weed detection, GCGS-YOLO is proposed as a weed target detection model, and we integrate the Global Context (GC) attention mechanism with the traditional C3 module to optimize the backbone feature extraction network, and introduce the GSConv module to improve the neck network. …”

Resource Scheduling for Cloud Data Center Based on Data Mining in Smart Grid by Songtao Peng

“…Since the wide use of virtual technology,the resource use rate in cloud data center has been improved effectively than ever before.However,there is still a large space for improvement due to the resources usually are pre-started and pre-allocated by the user demand rather than the actual needs.In order to allocate available resource more accurately,two algorithms were proposed to meet the needs of the daily use in most of time.The available virtual resources would be arranged according the forecast using the algorithms of hierarchical composition of loading and the peek resources needs would be dynamic allocated using the algorithms of stochastic equilibrium and queuing theory.The results of experiment via the system based upon above theories show that the solution provides a kind of very effective advanced means for the optimal use of resources and energy saves.…”
