Abstract

Cotton, as one of the four major economic crops, is of great significance to the development of the national economy. Monitoring cotton growth status by automatic image-based detection makes sense due to its low-cost, low-labor and the capability of continuous observations. However, little research has been done to improve close observation of different growth stages of field crops using digital cameras. Therefore, algorithms proposed by us were developed to detect the growth information and predict the starting date of cotton automatically. In this paper, we introduce an approach for automatic detecting five true-leaves stage, which is a critical growth stage of cotton. On account of the drawbacks caused by illumination and the complex background, we cannot use the global coverage as the unique standard of judgment. Consequently, we propose a new method to determine the five true-leaves stage through detecting the node number between the main stem and the side stems, based on the agricultural meteorological observation specification. The error of the results between the predicted starting date with the proposed algorithm and artificial observations is restricted to no more than one day.
