Traditional nutritional diagnosis suffers from inefficiency, high cost, and damage when predicting the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of sugarcane leaves. Non-destructive nutritional diagnosis of sugarcane leaves based on traditional machine learning and deep learning suffers from poor generalization and lower accuracy. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel convolutional neural network called WT-ResNet. This model incorporates wavelet transform into the residual network structure, enabling effective feature extraction from sugarcane leaf images and facilitating the regression prediction of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in the leaves. By employing a cascade of decomposition and reconstruction, the wavelet transform extracts multi-scale features, which allows for the capture of different frequency components in images. Through the use of shortcut connections, residual structures facilitate the learning of identity mappings within the model. The results show that by analyzing sugarcane leaf images, our model achieves R2 values of 0.9420 for nitrogen content prediction, 0.9084 for phosphorus content prediction, and 0.8235 for potassium content prediction. The accuracy rate for nitrogen prediction reaches 88.24% within a 0.5 tolerance, 58.82% for phosphorus prediction within a 0.1 tolerance, and 70.59% for potassium prediction within a 0.5 tolerance. Compared to other algorithms, WT-ResNet demonstrates higher accuracy. This study aims to provide algorithms for non-destructive sugarcane nutritional diagnosis and technical support for precise sugarcane fertilization.
