This paper presents an autonomous unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) tracking system based on an improved long and short-term memory (LSTM) Kalman filter (KF) model. The system can estimate the three-dimensional (3D) attitude and precisely track the target object without manual intervention. Specifically, the YOLOX algorithm is employed to track and recognize the target object, which is then combined with the improved KF model for precise tracking and recognition. In the LSTM-KF model, three different LSTM networks (f, Q, and R) are adopted to model a nonlinear transfer function to enable the model to learn rich and dynamic Kalman components from the data. The experimental results disclose that the improved LSTM-KF model exhibits higher recognition accuracy than the standard LSTM and the independent KF model. It verifies the robustness, effectiveness, and reliability of the autonomous UAV tracking system based on the improved LSTM-KF model in object recognition and tracking and 3D attitude estimation.
Soil moisture is one of the most critical elements of the Earth system and is essential for the study of the terrestrial water cycle, ecological processes, climate change, and disaster warnings. In this study, the training sample was selected to divide the dataset according to months from 2000 to 2018 after the advantages of three training samples were compared using a backpropagation (BP) neural network model. Furthermore, the monthly surface soil moisture in China in 2019 and 2020 was simulated based on various meteorological elements. The results demonstrate that evapotranspiration has the greatest influence on soil moisture among the various meteorological factors, followed by precipitation on a national scale throughout the year. Additionally, the accuracy of the training and simulation results with BP neural networks in the national winter months is slightly worse. In the future, the training samples of the BP neural network can be optimized following the differences in the dominant influence of various meteorological factors on soil moisture in different areas at different times to improve the simulation prediction accuracy.
Soil nutrient monitoring system is to master the nutrient status of the bare ground, and quickly extract the information of farmland nutrient. Because of having a significant impact on the crop, the soil nutrient monitoring is important. For the lack of monitoring soil nutrient monitoring currently, combined with "3S" technology, spatial database technology, computer network technology and modern agricultural information technology as the basis, using WebGIS Service standard spatial database engine, the soil nutrient monitoring system based on soil nutrient information of Yangling was scientifically constructed. It achieved soil nutrient management from the large-scale, made the monitoring process towards standardization, improved management efficiency and scientific level, and provided technical support for farmland quality decisions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
