Abstract

The accuracy and real-time performance of the speed measurement method were important factors influencing the accuracy of the seeding spacing monitoring. In this study, three different speed measurement methods (including GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver speed measurement, radar speed measurement, and encoder measurement rotation speed) were used to compare and analyze the monitoring results of seeding spacing. The same monitoring system was used to calculate the seeding spacing under three different speed measurement methods. The encoder directly measured the rotation speed of the seeding disc instead of the traditional method of measuring the rotation speed of the driving wheel. The monitoring results of uniform-speed and variable-speed seeding field tests showed that the three speed measurement methods have extremely high correlations, with a correlation coefficient R > 0.95. There was small difference among the three speed measurement methods, and they all met the needs of field seeding operations. After comprehensively considering the use cost and installation complexity, it was recommended to use GNSS receiver speed measurement to monitor the speed of the seeding operation and the real-time seeding spacing.
