Abstract:Aiming to meet the demand for rapid detection of crop nutrients in the field, systematic research was conducted on the screening of leaf multispectral fluorescence characteristics and the development of an in-situ canopy chlorophyll detection system.Firstly, based on controlled experiments, three methods, including Relief, recursive feature elimination (RFE) and stepwise regression were adopted to screen out core variables such as UV690, B740 and UV690/B740.The characteristic parameters for leaf chlorophyll fluorescence detection were clarified, which provided a basis for the optical channel design of the device.Secondly, the closed detection mode was optimized to a semi-open mode for in-situ canopy measurement.The hardware system was composed of a Raspberry Pi 4B main controller and a binocular wide dynamic camera module, with an integrated uniform excitation light source and independently developed binocular cooperative acquisition software.Field experiments demonstrated that UV520, UV690, B740, and UV690/B740 were sensitive fluorescence parameters for chlorophyll detection at the canopy scale.Among them, the UV520 fluorescence reflected the response characteristics of blue-green fluorescence to plant stress and environmental variations, which complemented red fluorescence parameters and improved the robustness of canopy chlorophyll detection models.A support vector machine (SVM) regression model for chlorophyll content was constructed.The model achieved a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.82 for the calibration set and 0.72 for the validation set, with RMSEC and RMSEV values of 3.42 mg/L and 2.86 mg/L, respectively, and a mean relative error (MRE) of 8.8%.This research realized the application transformation from the "leaf measurement prototype" to "canopy population detection", providing a practical tool for real-time and non-destructive monitoring of wheat chlorophyll content.
