Abstract
Wheat lodging has a significant impact on yields and quality, necessitating the accurate acquisition of lodging information for effective disaster assessment and damage evaluation. This study presents a novel approach for wheat lodging detection in large and heterogeneous fields using UAV remote sensing images. A comprehensive dataset spanning an area of 2.3117 km2 was meticulously collected and labeled, constituting a valuable resource for this study. Through a comprehensive comparison of algorithmic models, remote sensing data types, and model frameworks, this study demonstrates that the Deeplabv3+ model outperforms various other models, including U-net, Bisenetv2, FastSCN, RTFormer, Bisenetv2, and HRNet, achieving a noteworthy F1 score of 90.22% for detecting wheat lodging. Intriguingly, by leveraging RGB image data alone, the current model achieves high-accuracy rates in wheat lodging detection compared to models trained with multispectral datasets at the same resolution. Moreover, we introduce an innovative multi-branch binary classification framework that surpasses the traditional single-branch multi-classification framework. The proposed framework yielded an outstanding F1 score of 90.30% for detecting wheat lodging and an accuracy of 86.94% for area extraction of wheat lodging, surpassing the single-branch multi-classification framework by an improvement of 7.22%. Significantly, the present comprehensive experimental results showcase the capacity of UAVs and deep learning to detect wheat lodging in expansive areas, demonstrating high efficiency and cost-effectiveness under heterogeneous field conditions. This study offers valuable insights for leveraging UAV remote sensing technology to identify post-disaster damage areas and assess the extent of the damage.
