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. …”
