    Real-time monitoring and early warning of aphid honeydew excretion behavior based on adaptive fusion of spatiotemporal features

    • 摘要: 蚜虫是农林作物的重要害虫和传播植物病毒最重要的介体类别之一,其排蜜露行为不仅包含了昆虫和植物互作的重要信息,更为植物抗性机制研究、害虫发生动态监测及预警提供了重要依据。针对人工监测或化学分析蚜虫蜜露的效率低、实时性差、操作复杂差等问题,该研究提出一种时序加权帧差自适应融合框架(temporal weighted frame difference adaptive fusion framework,TWFDAFF)提取蚜虫的时空运动特征。在YOLOv11的网络结构基础上进行优化调整,通过采用细粒度双向特征金字塔网络、全局到局部空间聚合模块、CLWA模块(融合C3k2的局部窗口注意力机制),以及双缓存平滑插值和动态类别判定等后处理优化框架,构建了小目标精细行为检测模型FGC-YOLO,以此实现对蚜虫排蜜露行为的实时监测。试验结果表明,该研究提出的检测框架平均精度为81.5%,参数量为18.8M,浮点计算量为84.3G,平均检测速度为65帧/s ;与其他主流算法相比,在小目标动作行为检测能力方面有显著提升。该文提出的基于TWFDAFF和FGC-YOLO的蚜虫排蜜露行为监测预警方法切实可行,为蚜虫等小型害虫的智能化预测预警提供技术支撑。

       

      Abstract: Aphids, recognized as serious pests in agriculture and forestry, can be one of the most important vectors for the transmission of plant viruses. Their behavior of excreting honeydew can provide critical insights into the insect-plant interactions on plant resistance. Particularly, it is often required to monitor and early warn of the pest dynamics. Conventional monitoring of aphid honeydew—such as manual observation or chemical analysis—has been limited to modern agriculture in recent years, due to the low efficiency, real-time capabilities, and operational complexity. In this study, a Temporal Weighted Frame Difference Adaptive Fusion Framework (TWFDAFF) was introduced to in situ monitor and early warn the aphid honeydew excretion behavior using target detection and adaptive fusion of spatiotemporal features. The TWFDAFF was also employed to involve the dynamic weight allocation and frame difference computation over consecutive video frames. The framework was provided for the precise capture and extraction of the spatiotemporal motion features of the aphids. The high-quality feature inputs were very necessary to subsequently detect the aphid behavior. Thus, the overall effectiveness of pest monitoring systems was enhanced using TWFDAFF. The FGC-YOLO model was established to specifically optimize, in order to meet the demands of fine-grained detection on small target behaviors. The YOLOv11 also served as the foundational architecture. Several enhancements were incorporated to introduce some operations. A Fine-Grained Bidirectional Feature Pyramid Network was utilized to strengthen the interaction of cross-scale features. As such, the improved model was significantly improved to accurately capture the features of small aphid targets. Additionally, a spatial aggregation module was designed to integrate the global and local contextual information. Multi-receptive field fusion was adopted to facilitate the precise localization of aphids even in complex backgrounds. Moreover, a CLWA module (fusing C3k2 local window attention mechanisms) was integrated to emphasize the critical action areas with the honeydew excretion, thereby minimizing the interference from the background noise. The dynamic category determination was implemented to allow for the real-time monitoring of aphid honeydew excretion behavior, along with the dual-buffer smoothing interpolation. Experimental results demonstrated that the superior performance of the monitoring framework was achieved in an impressive average precision (mAP) of 81.5%, in order to accurately identify the instantaneous actions related to aphid honeydew excretion. Furthermore, there was an efficient parameter of 18.8M, and a floating-point computation load of 84.3G. A balance between lightweight and high detection was obtained with an average speed of 65 frames per second, thus effectively meeting the requirements of real-time monitoring. Furthermore, the FGC-YOLO model exhibited a marked improvement in the detection of small target behaviors, compared with mainstream algorithms, such as the YOLOv11 and Faster R-CNN. The improved model—from TWFDAFF and FGC-YOLO—represented a practical and feasible approach for monitoring and early warning systems targeting small pests, including aphids. This advancement can hold some significant implications to promote the digital and precise transformation of green pest control strategies in the agricultural and forestry. This finding can greatly contribute to the intelligent prediction and early intervention of pest diseases, ultimately facilitating crop health and yield in sustainable agriculture.
