Integration of litchi stink bug identification system and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) spraying system to efficiently achieve control of litchi stink bug.

The use of power sprayers in slope orchard is limited by steep terrain and also has the risk of pesticide exposure. The flexible UAV equipped with the identification system can recognize the occurrence of litchi stink bug, is adaptable to the terrain. And three-dimensional space intelligent path planning algorithm automatically organizes the suitable route of UAV. The system achieves the precise application, minimizes pesticide usage, and improves efficiency.

Advantages

1. The system sends images to the cloud to identify in real-time. The correctness rate in litchi stink bug recognition is nearly 85%. It shows the location of the pest occurrence.
2. The sensor with LoRa wireless transmission technology monitors environmental factors in real-time and predicts the hotspots of pests in the future by the LSTM model. 
3. Using Simulate anneal arithmetic to plan the best three-dimensional path, shortening the route can effectively increase the spray area of a single flight and improve operation efficiency.
4. Precision pesticide application can reduce 70% of pesticide dosage use and also achieve the effectiveness of litchi stink bug control.
5. The UAV with RTK precise positioning and heavy load capacity is MIT and can customized adjustment.
