ABSTRACT
As the millet ears are dense, small in size, and serious occlusion in the complex grain field scene, the target detection model suitable for this environment requires high computing power, and it is difficult to deploy the real-time detection of millet ears on mobile devices. A lightweight real-time detection method for millet ears is based on YOLOv5. First, the YOLOv5s model is improved by replacing the YOLOv5s backbone feature extraction network with the MobilenetV3 lightweight model to reduce model size. Then, using the multi-feature fusion detection structure, the micro-scale detection layer is augmented to reduce high-level feature maps and low-level feature maps. The Merge-NMS technique is used in post-processing for target information loss to reduce the influence of boundary blur on the detection effect and increase the detection accuracy of small and obstructed targets. Finally, the models reconstructed by different improved methods are trained and tested on the self-built millet ear data set. The AP value of the improved model in this study reaches 97.78%, F1-score is 94.20%, and the model size is only 7.56 MB, which is 53.28% of the standard YoloV5s model size, and has a better detection speed. Compared with other classical target detection models, it shows strong robustness and generalization ability. The lightweight model performs better in the detection of pictures and videos in the Jetson Nano. The results show that the improved lightweight YOLOv5 millet detection model in this study can overcome the influence of complex environments, and significantly improve the detection effect of millet under dense distribution and occlusion conditions. The millet detection model is deployed on the Jetson Nano, and the millet detection system is implemented based on the PyQt5 framework. The detection accuracy and detection speed of the millet detection system can meet the actual needs of intelligent agricultural machinery equipment and has a good application prospect.

Superhydrophobic coatings are highly promising for protecting material surfaces and for wide applications. In this study, superhydrophobic composites, comprising a rhombic-dodecahedral zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8@SiO2), have been manufactured onto AZ31 magnesium alloy via chemical etching and dip-coating methods to enhance stability and corrosion resistance. Herein, we report on a simple strategy to modify hydrophobic hexadecyltrimethoxysilan (HDTMS) on ZIF-8@SiO2 to significantly improve the property of repelling water. We show that various liquids can be stable on its surface and maintain a contact angle higher than 150°. The morphologies and chemical composition were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FI-IR). In addition, the anticorrosion and antiattrition properties of the film were assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization and HT, respectively. Such a coating shows promising potential as a material for large-scale fabrication.
