Prediction of soil humidity based on random weight Particle Swarm Optimized Extreme Learning Machine

Abstract

Abstract The prediction of high quality soil moisture is of great significance to agricultural production and scientific research. In order to solve the problem that the prediction results of (ELM) regression model of limit learning machine are affected by input parameters, the stochastic weight particle swarm optimization algorithm (RandWPSO) is applied to ELM regression model. In this paper, a soil moisture prediction method of particle swarm optimization limit learning machine based on random inertia weight is proposed. In this method, the data of soil temperature and light intensity measured by sensor are used to preprocess the data, the training sample set is constructed, and the ELM regression model is established. The input weight and threshold in ELM are optimized by using random weight particle swarm optimization algorithm to avoid falling into local optimization, thus the prediction model of soil moisture based on RandWPSO-ELM is established. The soil moisture of sugar beet in Hulan area was studied. The experimental results show that the method has high accuracy and stability, and can provide an effective reference for the growth of sugar beet in greenhouse.
