Crop failure detection using UAV images is helpful for precision agriculture, enabling the precision management of failure areas to reduce crop loss. For wheat failure area detection at the seedling stage using UAV images, the commonly used methods are not sufficiently accurate. Thus, herein, a new tool for precision wheat management at the seedling stage is designed. For this purpose, field experiments with two wheat cultivars and four nitrogen (N) treatments were conducted to create different scenarios for the failure area, and multispectral UAV images were acquired at the seedling growth stage. Based on the above data, a new failure detection method was designed by assimilating prior knowledge and a filter analysis strategy and compared with classical filter-based methods and Hough transform-based methods for wheat failure area detection. The results showed that the newly proposed assimilation method had a detection accuracy between 83.86% and 97.67% for different N levels and cultivars. In contrast, the filter-based methods and Hough transform-based methods had detection accuracies between 53.73% and 83.95% and between 20.71% and 75.79%, respectively. Thus, the assimilation method demonstrated the best failure detection performance. |
