In the development of unmanned agricultural machinery, efficiently and accurately detecting field obstacles is crucial for ensuring both operational safety and efficiency. However, due to the complex agricultural environments, existing obstacle detection methods still suffer from low detection accuracy and large model parameters. To address these issues, this study presents CFD-YOLOv8, an application-oriented adaptation of YOLOv8 tailored to complex farmland environments that integrates complementary architectural modules and a practical IoU-based loss to improve detection performance. First, we design a Task-Aligned Dynamic Detection Head to improve the model’s adaptability to challenging environments while achieving lightweight optimization. Second, we incorporate RFCAConv into the C2f module to expand the receptive field and strengthen the model’s focus on crucial target regions. Finally, we introduce the Powerful-IoU loss function to optimize bounding box handling, thereby accelerating convergence and enhancing localization accuracy. Experiments conducted on our custom-built field obstacle dataset demonstrated that CFD-YOLOv8 improves average detection precision by 1.9%, with precision and recall rates increasing by 3% and 0.2%, respectively, while reducing model parameters by 18.9%. These results significantly outperform current mainstream obstacle detection methods. The findings of this study offer robust technical support for autonomous obstacle avoidance and path planning in unmanned agricultural machinery operating in complex environments, laying a foundation for the further advancement of agricultural mechanization and intelligence.

The test results show that the total navigation distance of the allocation path generated by the ship formation model is 605.3 meters, the calculation time is 31.8 seconds, and all ships can be accurately allocated to the target point. When the number of iterations is 1000, the route optimization model has a route coverage rate of 95.9% on the training set, an average error of 30.5 meters, and a computation time of 45.9 seconds, achieving zero collisions. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm outperforms traditional methods in accuracy and stability of formation target allocation and route planning, especially under complex sea conditions, and can significantly reduce computation time and errors. The research provides a new technological means for optimizing ship formations and routes, which has certain application potential and practical value.

The health of crops is of great consequence to the security of the global food supply and the sustainability of agricultural economies. To address the shortcomings of traditional monitoring methods, which are characterized by high labor intensity, low efficiency, and insufficient timeliness, this paper proposes an innovative intelligent analysis system. The system uses remote sensing data from drones and convolutional neural network technology to achieve efficient crop classification and accurate identification of pests and diseases. Specifically, the system adopts a multi-scale attention convolutional network to optimize crop classification, improves the cyclic consistent adversarial network for remote sensing image translation to enhance the dataset, and improves the lightweight MobileNet V2 for disease and pest recognition. The proposed method achieved an average F1 and intersection to union ratio of 94.67% and 89.14% for crop classification and recognition, respectively. When translating crop remote sensing images, the Frechette distance and kernel distance were 98.73 and 3.08, respectively. The translated image enhanced the dataset and improved recognition accuracy and convergence speed. When identifying crop pests and diseases, the accuracy and recall were 97.14% and 97.18%, respectively. The parameter count was reduced to 2.01MB, indicating superiority. This study solves the uncertainty in remote sensing data and the complexity and limited number of training samples for convolutional neural networks. This provides technical support for the transformation of agriculture towards intelligence and sustainability.

In this study, a thin-film artificial intelligence transistor device based on the integration of memory and computing was designed and assessed. For this device, skyrmions were used to construct an integrated memory and computing architecture that combined content-addressable memory functions and logic operational functions. First, a dual memory cell under vertical current control was designed; based on this, a current-driven skyrmion track memory was constructed. Then, the logic gate components of the skyrmion track were constructed as the operation module. Subsequently, simulates were conducted on the device, and the results showed that when Db = 0 mJ/m2 and 3 mJ/m2, Wb = 0 nm, and the position of the temporal lateral displacement curve was highest. When Wb = 18 nm, the position of the temporal lateral displacement curve was lowest. In the logic gate performance simulate, the moving speed of the skyrmion reflected a positive proportional relationship with driving-current density. Finally, in the skyrmion moving simulate, the upper part of the system stably displayed NOR operational functions, and the lower end stably displayed NAND operational functions. This research lays the foundation for designing a fifth-generation AI processor in which storage and computing are integrated.
