Objective The detectionof maize seeds and other crops is a key problem in the field of agricultural informatization.In this paper, to enhance detection and improve accuracy rate, we present a detection algorithm for maize seed on the basis of extreme learning machine (ELM) and multi-scale feature fusion. Method In the first part of this paper, the feature of maize seed is described as the combination of local features and global features. Local features can be described as a multi-scale histogram of oriented gradient, and global features can be described as the color feature of HSV. In the second part, ELM will be used as the detection algorithm against long training period and slow detection speed, which are the characteristics of traditional BP neural network and SVM. Furthermore, the detection model uses the parallel algorithm to significantly decrease the time used in the training of each classifier. Furthermore, the high resolution of the original image can cause long detection periods and consume a large amount of memory. To address this problem, we propose a local means of an image compression algorithm. Finally, considering that the sliding windows of centralized scanning can produce a problem in creating multiple overlapping windows capturing the same object, we propose a local window fusion algorithm based on fuzzy clustering to address this problem. Result The simulation results show that the method proposed is able to accurately detect maize seeds. The accuracy of detection of maize seeds can reach 97.66% with an error of less than 0.1%. Conclusion Compared with traditional methods, the no damage method proposed in this paper can improve the speed and accuracy of detection and has no strict hardware requirements.
