Abstract
With the rapid progression of agricultural informatization technology, the methodologies of crop monitoring based on spectral technology are constantly upgraded. In order to carry out the efficient, precise and nondestructive detection of relative chlorophyll (SPAD) during the booting stage, we acquired hyperspectral reflectance data about spring wheat vertical distribution and adopted the fractional-order differential to transform the raw spectral data. After that, based on correlation analysis, fractional differential spectra and fractional differential spectral indices with strong correlation with SPAD were screened and fused. Then, the least-squares support vector machine (LSSSVM) and the least-squares support vector machine (SMA-LSSSVM) optimized on the slime mold algorithm were applied to construct the estimation models of SPAD, and the model accuracy was assessed to screen the optimal estimation models. The results showed that the 0.4 order fractional-order differential spectra had the highest correlation with SPAD, which was 9.3% higher than the maximum correlation coefficient of the original spectra; the constructed two-band differential spectral indices were more sensitive to SPAD than the single differential spectra, in which the correlation reached the highest level of 0.724. The SMA-LSSSVM model constructed based on the two-band fractional-order differential spectral indices was better than the single differential spectra and the integration of both, which realized the assessment of wheat SPAD.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1358965. [PMID: 38439983 PMCID: PMC10909836 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1358965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
Secondary salinization is a crucial constraint on agricultural progress in arid regions. The specific mulching irrigation technique not only exacerbates secondary salinization but also complicates field-scale soil salinity monitoring. UAV hyperspectral remote sensing offers a monitoring method that is high-precision, high-efficiency, and short-cycle. In this study, UAV hyperspectral images were used to derive one-dimensional, textural, and three-dimensional feature variables using Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Boruta Feature Selection (Boruta), and Brightness-Color-Index (BCI) with Fractional-order differentiation (FOD) processing. Additionally, three modeling strategies were developed (Strategy 1 involves constructing the model solely with the 20 single-band variable inputs screened by the CARS algorithm. In Strategy 2, 25 texture features augment Strategy 1, resulting in 45 feature variables for model construction. Strategy 3, building upon Strategy 2, incorporates six triple-band indices, totaling 51 variables used in the model's construction) and integrated with the Seagull Optimization Algorithm for Random Forest (SOA-RF) models to predict soil electrical conductivity (EC) and delineate spatial distribution. The results demonstrated that fractional order differentiation highlights spectral features in noisy spectra, and different orders of differentiation reveal different hidden information. The correlation between soil EC and spectra varies with the order. 1.9th order differentiation is proved to be the best order for constructing one-dimensional indices; although the addition of texture features slightly improves the accuracy of the model, the integration of the three-waveband indices significantly improves the accuracy of the estimation, with an R2 of 0.9476. In contrast to the conventional RF model, the SOA-RF algorithm optimizes its parameters thereby significantly improving the accuracy and model stability. The optimal soil salinity prediction model proposed in this study can accurately, non-invasively and rapidly identify excessive salt accumulation in drip irrigation under membrane. It is of great significance to improve the growing conditions of cotton, increase the cotton yield, and promote the sustainable development of Xinjiang's agricultural economy, and also provides a reference for the prevention and control of regional soil salinization.

Abstract
Fractional calculus has gained a lot of attention in the last couple of years. Researchers have discovered that processes in various fields follow fractional dynamics rather than ordinary integer-ordered dynamics, meaning that the corresponding differential equations feature non-integer valued derivatives. There are several arguments for why this is the case, one of which is that fractional derivatives inherit spatiotemporal memory and/or the ability to express complex naturally occurring phenomena. Another popular topic nowadays is machine learning, i.e., learning behavior and patterns from historical data. In our ever-changing world with ever-increasing amounts of data, machine learning is a powerful tool for data analysis, problem-solving, modeling, and prediction. It has provided many further insights and discoveries in various scientific disciplines. As these two modern-day topics hold a lot of potential for combined approaches in terms of describing complex dynamics, this article review combines approaches from fractional derivatives and machine learning from the past, puts them into context, and thus provides a list of possible combined approaches and the corresponding techniques. Note, however, that this article does not deal with neural networks, as there is already extensive literature on neural networks and fractional calculus. We sorted past combined approaches from the literature into three categories, i.e., preprocessing, machine learning and fractional dynamics, and optimization. The contributions of fractional derivatives to machine learning are manifold as they provide powerful preprocessing and feature augmentation techniques, can improve physically informed machine learning, and are capable of improving hyperparameter optimization. Thus, this article serves to motivate researchers dealing with data-based problems, to be specific machine learning practitioners, to adopt new tools, and enhance their existing approaches.

Abstract
Soil salinization is a global ecological and environmental problem in arid and semi-arid areas that can be ameliorated via soil management, visible-near infrared-shortwave infrared (VNIR-SWIR) spectroscopy can be adapted to rapidly monitor soil salinity content. This study explored the potential of Grünwald–Letnikov fractional-order derivative (FOD), feature band selection methods, nonlinear partial least squares regression (PLSR), and four machine learning models to estimate the soil salinity content using VNIR-SWIR spectra. Ninety sample points were field scanned with VNIR-SWR and soil samples (0–20 cm) were obtained at the time of scanning. The samples points come from three zones representing different intensities of human interference (I, II, and III Zones) in Fukang, Xinjiang, China. Each zone contained thirty sample points. For modeling, we firstly adopted FOD (with intervals of 0.1 and range of 0–2) as a preprocessing method to analyze soil hyperspectral data. Then, four sets of spectral bands (R-FOD-FULL indicates full band range, R-FOD-CC5 bands that met a 0.05 significance test, R-FOD-CC1 bands that met a 0.01 significance test, and R-FOD-CC1-CARS represents CC1 combined with competitive adaptive reweighted sampling) were selected as spectral input variables to develop the estimation model. Finally, four machine learning models, namely, generalized regression neural network (GRNN), extreme learning machine (ELM), random forest (RF), and PLSR, to estimate soil salinity. Study results showed that (1) the heat map of correlation coefficient matrix between hyperspectral data and salinity indicated that FOD significantly improved the correlation. (2) The characteristic band variables extracted and used by R-FOD-CC1 were fewer in number, and redundancy between bands smaller than R-FOD-FULL and R-FOD-CC5, thus estimation accuracy of R-FOD-CC1 was higher than R-FOD-CC5 or R-FOD-FULL. A high prediction accuracy was achieved with a less complex calculation. (3) The GRNN model yielded the best salinity estimation in all three zones compared to ELM, BPNN, RF, and PLSR on the whole, whereas, the RF model had the worst estimation effect. The R-FOD-CC1-CARS-GRNN model yielded the best salinity estimation in I Zone with R2, RMSE and RPD of 0.7784, 1.8762, and 2.0568, respectively. The fractional order was 1.5 and estimation performance was great. The optimal model for predicting soil salinity in II and III Zone was, also, R-FOD-CC1-CARS-GRNN (R2 = 0.7912, RMSE = 3.4001, and RPD = 1.8985 in II Zone; R2 = 0.8192, RMSE = 6.6260, and RPD = 1.8190 in III Zone), with the fractional order of 1.7- and 1.6-, respectively, and the estimation performance were all fine. (4) The characteristic bands selected by the best model in I, II, and III Zones were 8, 9, and 11, respectively, which account for 0.45%, 0.51%, and 0.63%% of the full bands. This approach reduces the number of modeled band variables and simplifies the model structure.
