Description

The present invention relates to a growth condition improvement support device, a growth condition improvement support method, and a growth condition improvement support program.

In recent years, as part of smart agriculture, there has been an increasing demand for systems that monitor the growth status of agricultural crops. Detecting and predicting the occurrence of pests and physiological disorders in agricultural crops is one of the functions required of such systems. Some pests and physiological disorders that occur in agricultural crops have similar appearances, and it is difficult to determine whether they are pests or physiological disorders using image recognition alone. Regarding pests and physiological disorders, techniques have been proposed for predicting the occurrence of at least one of pests and physiological disorders (see Patent Document 1) and techniques for estimating locations where pests are likely to occur (see Patent Document 2). Neither of these methods distinguishes between pests and physiological disorders.

<Generation of Bayesian network>
First, various sensors 50 are installed in the cultivation sections A1 to A6, B1 to B6, and C1 to C6 of the cultivation facility 200 illustrated in FIG. 2 (step S1).

Next, information regarding cultivated crops, etc. is registered in the crop information DB 20a (step S2).

Next, data or feature amounts are collected from the sensor data of the installed sensor 50, the public data acquired from the public data acquisition unit 60, and the image data photographed by the camera 40, and the sensor data TSDB 20b, public data TSDB 20c, Each image data is stored in the TSDB 20e (step S3). Here, sensor data, public data, and image data are acquired by the training data acquisition unit 11a of the agricultural product growth state observation device 10, and if necessary, the feature quantity calculation unit 11b calculates the feature quantity for the raw data. The feature amount may be calculated by executing the process. In this way, the acquired sensor data, etc. or feature quantities are stored in the sensor data TSDB 20b, the public data TSDB, and the image data TSDB 20e. In the following, data or feature amounts are also collectively referred to as feature amounts.

Next, each data is labeled with a determination result (growth state information) such as normal, botrytis, calcium deficiency, etc. (step S4). Each piece of data labeled with a determination result is stored in the determination result TSDB 20f in a data configuration as shown in FIG. To label the determination results, the determination information generation unit 11c of the crop growth state observation device 10 reads the data stored in the sensor data TSDB 20b, public data TSDB, and image data TSDB 20e to the crop growth state observation device 10, and displays the growth state. The data is displayed on the device 30, input of the determination result is accepted from the user through the input device, and the acquired determination result is associated with these data and stored in the determination result TSDB 20f.

Next, each piece of data obtained as continuous values is discretized (step S5). For example, the data or feature amount extracted from the first sensor 50a is a continuous value and shows a distribution as shown in FIG. 11, and the range of the data or feature amount extracted from the first sensor 50a is from 0.0 to 60. Suppose it is 0. At this time, the range of the sensor data can be discretized at intervals of 10.0 using discretization (EWD (Equal Width Discretization)) that divides the range into equally spaced intervals. The discretization of data or feature amounts may be performed by the discretization processing unit 11d of the crop growth state observation device 10 acquiring the range of the sensor etc. in advance and setting it based on this, or by using the graph shown in FIG. Necessary information may be provided by displaying it on the growth state display device 30, and settings by the user such as sections for discretization may be accepted through the input device. The discretization interval is not limited to 10.0, but any appropriate interval can be adopted. In addition, the method of discretizing each data is not limited to this, but includes discretization using frequency intervals (EFD (Equal Frequency Discretization)), chimerge, CAIM, discretization using the minimum description length principle (MDLP (Minimum Description Length Principle)). ) etc. may be adopted. The discretized data is stored in the determination result TSDB 20f by the discretization processing unit 11d. Data in which the discretized feature amounts and determination results are associated constitutes training data for learning the Bayesian network.

Next, the Bayesian network construction unit 11e of the crop growth state observation device 10 constructs a Bayesian network model from the discretized data (step S6).

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the construction of the Bayesian network in step S6 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 10.
A Bayesian network is a directed acyclic graph with random variables as nodes, and is a graph that has a conditional probability table between parent nodes and child nodes.
FIG. 11 shows four nodes represented by ellipses and four arrows (edges).
Nodes 301, 302, 311, and 312 are "normal + other", "gray mold", "10.0<first sensor value<20.0", and "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0", respectively. ”, and represents a random variable whose value is determined probabilistically. The node at the destination of the arrow is the child node, and the node at the base of the arrow is the parent node.

If event A is defined as "gray mold", event ^AC means "gray mold" is not present. Furthermore, if event B is defined as "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0", event BC indicates that "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0" is not satisfied.
Here, it is assumed that the number of training data for constructing a Bayesian network is 1000 items. Of these, 200 data items were determined to be "gray mold" and 800 data items were determined to be "normal or other." Also, among the 200 data items determined to be "gray mold", 6 data items were "10.0 < 1st sensor value <20.0", and 6 data items were "250.0 < nth sensor value < 300. There were 195 data items with "0". Of the 800 data items determined to be "normal or other," 106 data items were "10.0<1st sensor value<20.0" and 106 data items were "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0". ” There were 8 data items.

同様にして、「灰色カビ病」かつ「２５０．０＜第ｎセンサ値＜３００．０」である同時確率は、以下のように算出できる。

また、「灰色カビ病」だが「２５０．０＜第ｎセンサ値＜３００．０」でない同時確率は、以下のように算出できる。

また、「灰色カビ病」でなく「２５０．０＜第ｎセンサ値＜３００．０」でない同時確率は、以下のように算出できる。

このとき、「２５０．０＜第ｎセンサ値＜３００．０」である確率は以下のように算出できる。

従って、「２５０．０＜第ｎセンサ値＜３００．０」である場合に「灰色カビ病」である確率は、ベイズの定理により、以下のように算出できる。

これは、図１２において、ノード３１２からノード３０２に向かう破線の矢印に対応する条件付き確率が０．９６と算出されたことを示している。 The conditional probability P(B|A) that a crop with "gray mold disease" is "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0" is expressed as the ratio of the number of cases (frequency) of each of the above data. It is calculated as follows.

Similarly, the joint probability of "gray mold" and "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0" can be calculated as follows.

Further, the joint probability of "gray mold" but not "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0" can be calculated as follows.

Moreover, the joint probability that it is not "gray mold" and "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0" can be calculated as follows.

At this time, the probability that "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0" can be calculated as follows.

Therefore, when "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0", the probability of "gray mold" can be calculated as follows using Bayes' theorem.

This indicates that the conditional probability corresponding to the dashed arrow pointing from node 312 to node 302 in FIG. 12 is calculated to be 0.96.

As described above, when using training data, events indicating the growth state of agricultural products, which are judgment results, are set as parent nodes 301 and 302, and data or features obtained by discretizing the training data are set as child nodes 311 and 312, the parent nodes A Bayesian network 300 can be constructed by creating a conditional probability table between nodes and child nodes.
A known method can be used to construct a Bayesian network. For example, structural learning algorithms such as Greedy Search algorithm, Stingy Search algorithm, exhaustive search method, etc. can be used to construct a Bayesian network.

Next, when constructing a Bayesian network, conditions to be applied to the Bayesian network are selected (step S7). Regarding the selection of conditions to be applied to the Bayesian network, the Bayesian network adjustment unit 11f of the agricultural product growth state observation device 10 displays necessary information on the growth state display device 30, and allows the user to select the conditions to be applied to the Bayesian network. It may also be accepted via an input device.

In FIG. 12, only the first sensor value and the nth sensor value are explained as an example, but other sensor data such as the second sensor value, the first public data to the mth public data, and the first image recognition feature amount A Bayesian network 300 can be constructed including the k-th image recognition features. The conditions to be applied to the Bayesian network 300, that is, which data to incorporate as nodes can be selected as appropriate.

At this time, in FIG. 12, the nth sensor 50c is installed in the cultivation facility 200 and the sensor data is acquired to construct the Bayesian network 300, but the first sensor 50c is not actually installed. Even if the nth sensor data does not exist, if there is known knowledge regarding the relationship between the sensor data of the nth sensor 50c and the occurrence of gray mold, the probability etc. corresponding to the arrow 333 can be manually set. can be incorporated into the Bayesian network 300. This corresponds to steps S8 and S7 described later in the flowchart of FIG. 10, and corresponds to a case where there is known know-how and conditions to be applied are added.
In agriculture, where there is a lot of know-how accumulated over many years, the knowledge of experts can be incorporated into the Bayesian network 300. Furthermore, even if a sensor is added during the learning of the Bayesian network 300, it can be incorporated into the Bayesian network 300 as long as there is knowledge of how much it is related to the growth of agricultural products.

If there is known know-how regarding the growth of agricultural products (Yes in step S8), the process returns to step S7, and conditions to be applied to the Bayesian network are added or omitted based on the known know-how. Specifically, at least one of the nodes, arrows, and conditional probabilities that constitute the Bayesian network is changed. The Bayesian network adjustment unit 11f of the crop growth condition observation device 10 inquires of the user through the growth condition display device 30 whether there is any known know-how regarding the growth of crops, and if the user answers that there is, the above-mentioned know-how is determined. A transition may be made to a screen that accepts selection of conditions to be applied to a Bayesian network such as the one described above. Further, in particular, the case where there is known know-how is accepted as a selection of conditions to be applied to the Bayesian network without any particular distinction, and the user is inquired through the growth status display device 30 whether or not to complete the selection of the conditions, and the selection is completed. If this is selected, it may be treated as if there is no known know-how.
If there is no known know-how regarding the growth of agricultural products, the generation of the Bayesian network is completed, the generated Bayesian network is stored in the Bayesian network storage unit 12, and the process proceeds to the stage of using the Bayesian network from step S9 onwards.

<Support for improving growth conditions using Bayesian network>
Below, we will explain the procedure for estimating and predicting the growth state of agricultural products using the Bayesian network generated through the processing up to step S8, and providing improvement information for improving the growth state based on the estimated growth state. explain. Here, the procedure of estimating and predicting the growth state of agricultural products using a Bayesian network and providing improvement information for improving the growth state based on the estimated and predicted growth state is the growth state improvement support of the present invention. Corresponds to the method. Further, the growth condition improvement method of the present invention is applied to a crop growth condition observation system 1 including a crop growth condition observation device 10 which is a computer (system), a data management server 20, and a growth condition display device 30. This is achieved by running a support program.
First, data or feature amounts are collected from the sensor data of the installed sensor 50, the public data acquired from the public data acquisition unit 60, and the image data photographed by the camera 40, and the sensor data TSDB 20b, the public data TSDB 20c, and the image Each is stored in the data TSDB 20e (step S9). Here, sensor data, public data, and image data are acquired by the data acquisition unit 13a of the agricultural product growth state observation device 10, and if necessary, the raw data is subjected to feature calculation processing in the feature calculation unit 13b. You may calculate the feature amount by executing In this way, the acquired sensor data, etc. or feature quantities are stored in the sensor data TSDB 20b, public data TSDB, and image data TSDB 20e. Here, the data acquired by the camera 40, the sensor 50, and the public data acquisition unit 60 is data related to the crop 100 currently cultivated in the cultivation facility, and the crop 100 corresponds to the target crop of the present invention, and the feature amount The calculation unit 13b corresponds to the target agricultural product feature amount acquisition unit of the present invention. Further, the sensor data TSDB 20b, the public data TSDB, and the image data TSDB 20e correspond to the target agricultural product feature quantity storage unit of the present invention.

Next, the collected data or feature amounts are input to the Bayesian network (step S10). Here, in response to the user instructing the crop growth state observation device 10 via the input device to estimate the growth state of the farm products, the acquisition of data to be input into the Bayesian network is performed. The data acquisition unit 13c may acquire necessary data from the sensor data TSDB 20b, the public data TSDB 20c, and the image data TSDB 20e, and input the data to the Bayesian network. In addition, in order to obtain a desired estimation result of the growth state, the user specifies the range of data to be input to the Bayesian network via the input device by data acquisition date and time, etc., and the input data acquisition unit 13c responds to this instruction. Accordingly, corresponding data may be acquired from the sensor data TSDB or the like.

Next, the growth state of the crops is estimated from the probability calculated using the Bayesian network (step S11). Based on the input data, etc., the probability calculation unit 13d calculates the probability using a Bayesian network and estimates the growth state of the crops. The probability calculation section 13d corresponds to the probability calculation section of the present invention.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating estimation of the growth state of agricultural products using a Bayesian network in step 10 and step S11 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 10. A Bayesian network 400 shown in FIG. 12 is a Bayesian network generated by the Bayesian network generation unit 11.

In the Bayesian network 400, each parameter of the first sensor value to the nth sensor value, the first public data value to the mth public data value, and the first image recognition feature amount to the kth image recognition feature amount is calculated using a conditional probability table. From the values, the estimated probabilities of occurrence of each event of "normal", "gray mold", and "calcium deficiency" can be determined. In FIG. 12, these are "10.0<first sensor value<20.0", "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0", and "700.0<first public data value<750.0". 0'', ``1000.0<first image recognition feature value<1100.0'' from nodes 411, 412, 413, and 414 representing parameter values of ``normal'', ``gray mold'', and ``calcium deficiency''. The numerical values attached to the arrows pointing to the respective nodes 401, 402, and 403 are the probabilities of each event based on each parameter value. In FIG. 12, cases where the probability exceeds 0.5 are indicated by thick dashed arrows.

Inputting data or feature amounts collected from sensor data, public data, and image data into the Bayesian network 400 described above, and estimating the growth state of crops such as normal, botrytis, calcium deficiency, etc. based on the calculated probability. (corresponds to steps S9 to S11 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 10).

Furthermore, in the estimation using the Bayesian network 400 described above, the growth state of agricultural products can be estimated not only when all data is acquired and input by the sensor 50 etc. but also when some data cannot be acquired. . For example, a case will be described in which sensor data cannot be acquired because the first sensor 50a is not installed or is installed but is malfunctioning. FIG. 14 shows the Bayesian network 400 shown in FIG. 13 again. Here, although the value of the first sensor 50a is not given as input data, the probability of an arrow with the value of the first sensor 50a as the parent node and the growth condition of crops such as calcium deficiency as the child node is expressed as follows: This does not mean that it cannot be used to estimate the growth state. As shown by the arrow 451 in FIG. If the value of another parameter such as "sensor value < 300.0" is obtained as input data, the value of the first sensor 50a will be "10.0 < first sensor value < 20. 0'' can be calculated as 0.81 by belief propagation. Thereby, even if the value of the first sensor 50a is not obtained, it is possible to calculate the probability that the growth state of the agricultural product is estimated to be calcium deficient.

By using a Bayesian network in this way, it is possible to predict growth conditions even in situations where not all data is available as input data, so predictions can be made even if some data cannot be used due to noise due to external disturbances. can do. In outdoor crop cultivation environments, there are many disturbances, and input data for prediction may not be obtained appropriately. Even in such cases, it is possible to predict crop growth conditions by using a Bayesian network. Can be done properly.

Further, a screen showing the graph structure of the generated Bayesian network 400 may be generated by the output information generation unit 13f and displayed on the growth state display device 30. FIG. 15 shows an example of a Bayesian network display screen 500. Since the graph structure of the Bayesian network display screen 500 shown in FIG. 15 is the same as the Bayesian network 400 shown in FIG. 13, detailed explanation will be omitted. As shown in Figure 15, arrows whose conditional probabilities are less than a threshold (for example, 0.5) are indicated by thin broken lines, and arrows whose conditional probabilities are greater than or equal to the threshold are indicated by thick solid lines. Items with a high probability are indicated by a thicker solid line. In this way, the direction of the causal relationship is displayed by the direction of the arrow between the nodes, and the strength of the causal relationship (the size of the conditional probability) is visually They are displayed so that they can be clearly distinguished. In Figure 15, the strength of the causal relationship is displayed by varying the type and thickness of the arrow, but the display format can be changed depending on the strength of the causal relationship, and the arrow with the strongest causal relationship is displayed in red. The arrows may be displayed in different colors, such as . Here, the Bayesian network display screen 500 corresponds to the graph display screen of the present invention, and the output information generation section 13f corresponds to the growth status screen generation section of the present invention.

When changing the type and thickness of the arrows depending on the strength of the causal relationship on the Bayesian network display screen 500, if the conditional probability is greater than or equal to a threshold value (for example, 0.5), the arrow is displayed and the conditional probability is Arrows below the threshold (arrows indicated by broken lines in FIG. 15) may not be displayed. In this way, the strength of the causal relationship between events can be visualized more clearly.

A Bayesian network models the probabilistic causal relationship of each variable set as a node using a network structure. Be able to identify the root cause of a condition (symptom). Furthermore, by displaying and visualizing the constructed Bayesian network 400 as the Bayesian network display screen 500, the user can understand the relationship structure of factors.

The Bayesian network that is generated is not limited to the Bayesian network 400 shown in FIG. 13. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a Bayesian network 600 can be constructed by expanding the range of the network. Components common to the Bayesian network 400 are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. Here, the range of the network is expanded by considering the values of each parameter such as sensor values as events. In FIG. 16, an arrow 461 points from a node 411 representing "10.0<first sensor value<20.0" to a node 412 representing "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0", and "10.0 An arrow 462 from a node 411 representing <first sensor value <20.0 to a node 413 representing "700.0<first public data value <750.0", "10.0<first sensor value <20" From node 411 representing ".0" to node 412 representing "250.0<nth sensor value<300.0", node 413 representing "700.0<first public data value<750.0", and node 413 representing "1000.0". 0<first image recognition feature value<1100.0", and go to a node 401 representing "normal", a node 402 representing "gray mold", and a node 403 representing "calcium deficiency", respectively. Arrows 463, 464, and 465 have been added. The number of cases where "10.0<first sensor value<20.0" shown in node 41 is 782 out of 1000, the conditional probability corresponding to arrow 461 is 203/782, and the condition corresponding to arrow 462 The winning probability is calculated as 586/782. From "10.0<first sensor value<20.0" shown in node 41 to "250.0<nth sensor value<" from node 411 representing "10.0<first sensor value<20.0" Of the 203 items corresponding to the arrow pointing to the node 412 representing "300.0", there are 164 items corresponding to the arrow passing through the node 413 representing "700.0<first public data value <750.0". Among them, there are 113 cases that match the arrow passing through the node 414 representing "1000.0<first image recognition feature value<1100.0", and furthermore, the number of cases that match the arrow passing through the node 414 representing "normal", and the node 401 representing "normal", "gray mold disease". The numbers corresponding to the arrows pointing to the node 402 representing "calcium deficiency" and the node 403 representing "calcium deficiency" are 13, 30, and 78, respectively.

For such a Bayesian network 600, input 17.5 as the first sensor value, 283.1 as the nth sensor value, 726.9 as the first public data value, and 1021.4 as the first image recognition feature amount. (corresponding to step 10 in the flowchart of FIG. 10), the predicted probability that the crop has calcium deficiency is 78/113, the predicted probability that the crop has gray mold is 30/113, and the predicted probability that the crop is normal is 13/113. (corresponds to step S11 in the flowchart of FIG. 10). Therefore, the estimated growth status of crops is that calcium deficiency is the first, gray mold disease is the second, and normal is the third.

Next, each data and the estimated result are stored in the determination result TSDB 20f (step S12). The estimated result is stored in the determination result TSDB 20f by the probability calculation unit 13d in association with the data input to the Bayesian network.

Next, the output information generation unit 13f of the agricultural product growth state observation device 10 generates screen information that provides information on symptoms estimated from the pest and physiological disorder DB 20d in a ranking format, and displays it on the growth state display device 30 (step S13). The output information generation unit 13f of the crop growth state observation device 10 generates a growth state ranking screen that displays the growth state of the crops in a ranking format according to the probability of occurrence based on the calculated probability, and displays the growth state ranking screen in the growth state display device 30. to be displayed. The growth state ranking screen may also display information regarding the growth state stored in the pest/disease/physiological disorder DB 20d.

FIG. 17 shows an occurrence probability ranking screen 700 that is an example of a growth status ranking screen. On the occurrence probability ranking screen 700, the growth status of agricultural products estimated by the Bayesian network 400 or the like is displayed in a ranking format. Here, the first place is gray mold, the second place is calcium deficiency, and the third place is powdery mildew. The occurrence probability ranking screen 700 each shows a rank display 701 of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, an occurrence probability display 702 expressed as a percentage, a growth state name 703 of gray mold, a summary information 704 of the growth state, and a growth state summary information 704. It is composed of a photographic image 705. Here, the occurrence probability ranking screen 700 corresponds to a growth state display screen and a growth state ranking display screen of the present invention. In addition, here, a screen is described that displays three growth states in descending order of probability of occurrence, but the output information generation unit 13f generates a screen that displays only the growth state with the highest probability of occurrence, It may be displayed on the growth state display device 30. At this time, the screen that displays only the growth state with the highest probability of occurrence corresponds to the growth state display screen of the present invention.

The occurrence probability is displayed as a numerical value estimated by inputting sensor data etc. to the Bayesian network 400 or the like.
Further, the summary information 707 and the photographic image 705 are acquired from the pest/disease/physiological disorder information DB 20d and displayed.

In this way, by using a Bayesian network, multiple targets can be predicted simultaneously. In this way, there is no distinction between objective variables and explanatory variables, and multiple predictions are possible instead of just one prediction target, so predictions of crop symptoms can be provided in a ranking format. By targeting multiple similar symptoms, it is possible to cover all possible symptoms.

In step S13, on the occurrence probability ranking screen 700 displayed on the growth state display device 30, the growth state name 703 is a button, and by tapping or clicking, the screen of the growth state display device 30 displays output information. The screen transitions to a growth state detailed explanation screen 710 shown in FIG. 18, which is generated by the generation unit 13f. The user executes countermeasures for the symptoms ranked high in the ranking, with reference to the description on the growth state detailed explanation screen 710 shown in FIG. 18 (step S14). In the following, a case will be described in which the growth state name 703 of "Botrytis" is tapped or clicked.

The growth state detailed explanation screen 710 shown in FIG. 18 includes a growth state name 711, a detailed explanation 712 including countermeasures, guidance 713, a graph display 714, detailed guidance 715, and effect confirmation buttons 716a and 716b.

A growth state detailed explanation screen 710 shown in FIG. 18 displays growth state names such as "gray mold," and a detailed explanation 712 including countermeasures is displayed at the bottom. The detailed explanation 712 including countermeasures is extracted from the information stored in the pest and physiological disorder information DB 20d. In the middle of the growth status detailed explanation screen 710, there is a message that says, ``It is highly likely that the abnormality in the following data is the cause of the occurrence.In order to improve the environment, the values of each data are shown in shading.'' Please refer to the countermeasures and take appropriate actions so that the probability of normality is within the highest value range. 713 is displayed in text.

At the bottom of the guidance 713, a graph 714 regarding data estimated to be the cause of the abnormality occurrence and detailed guidance 715 for each data are displayed. The probability that the data will be a factor in the occurrence of an abnormality, that is, the probability that the data will influence the occurrence of the abnormality, is calculated by the influence probability calculation unit 13e of the crop growth state observation device 10 based on the Bayesian network 400 or 600. A Bayesian network models the probabilistic causal relationship of each variable set as a node using a network structure, so by using the Bayesian network 400 or 600, the feature values can be used to determine the growth status (symptoms) of crops. The probability of being a factor can be calculated. Here, changes in each feature amount from the first feature amount to the Nth feature amount are graphically displayed in time series. In the graph display 714, along with a graph 714a showing temporal changes in the feature amount, a band-shaped shaded portion 714b displays the range of the value of the feature amount with the highest probability that the growth state is normal. Although only one feature quantity is described, other feature quantities will also be explained using similar symbols.) Regarding the first feature amount, in the graph display 714, the graph 714a continues to exceed the shaded portion 714b. For this reason, the detailed guidance 715 displays a specific countermeasure such as "The first feature value is high. Please lower XX." For example, if the first feature value matches the maximum value of the temperature/humidity sensor, a message such as "Please open the window" is displayed as a countermeasure. Regarding the second feature amount, in the graph display 714, the graph 714a remains below the shaded portion 714b. For this reason, the detailed guidance 715 displays a specific countermeasure such as "The second feature value is low. Please lower the value of 〇〇." Regarding the Nth feature amount, in the graph display 714, the graph 714a changes in a range overlapping with the shaded portion 714b. Therefore, the Nth feature is appropriate. Please maintain 〇〇. ” and specific countermeasures will be displayed. The feature amount includes a feature amount extracted from sensor data of the sensor 60 and a feature amount extracted from image data. Further, instead of the feature amount, it may be specific raw data of the sensor. Here, the influence probability calculation section 13e corresponds to the feature amount influence probability calculation section of the present invention. Further, the growth state detailed explanation screen 710 corresponds to the improvement information providing screen of the present invention, and the output information generation section 13f corresponds to the improvement screen generation section of the present invention.

In this manner, the detailed growth state explanation screen 710 allows the user to know an appropriate countermeasure when the growth state of agricultural products is abnormal. In addition, if there are multiple ways to deal with the cause of the abnormality, information about the feature values that are likely to be the cause of the abnormality is provided, allowing the user to take more appropriate measures to improve the abnormality. becomes possible.

The user executes countermeasures against the symptoms with reference to the description on the growth state detailed explanation screen 710, and determines whether or not the symptoms appearing in the crops have been improved by the executed countermeasures (step S15).
At the bottom of the graph display 714 and detailed guidance 715 of the growth status detailed explanation screen 710, a "Yes" button 716a and a "No" button 716b as effect confirmation buttons are displayed along with the words "Has this occurred?" Ru. If the growth condition has improved, that is, gray mold has subsided by executing the countermeasures provided on the growth condition detailed explanation screen 710, tap or click the "Yes" button 716a, and If the condition does not improve, that is, the gray mold disease does not subside, tap or click the "No" button 716b. Through these effect confirmation buttons 716a and 716b, a determination result as to whether or not the symptoms (growth condition) have been improved by the measures provided on the growth condition detailed explanation screen 710 is obtained. The procedure described above corresponds to step S14 and step S15 in the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step S15, if it is determined that there is no improvement, that is, if the tap or click of the "No" button 716b by the user is accepted, this fact is registered in the determination result TSDB 20f. In this case, the screen of the growth state display device 30 is changed to the occurrence probability ranking screen 700. Here, when the user taps or clicks on the growth state name 703 of the following ranking, in this case, the growth state of the crop is a symptom (growth state) of calcium deficiency, a screen 710 for detailed explanation of the growth state related to calcium deficiency is displayed. In step S15, if it is determined that the improvement has been made, that is, if the tap or click of the "Yes" button by the user is accepted, determine whether or not to apply the determination result data to training data for building a Bayesian network. is determined (step S16).

In step S16, if it is determined that the determination result data is to be applied to the training data for constructing a Bayesian network, the process returns to step S5, and the determination result, in this case, the growth state "gray mold" is labeled and input. The Bayesian network is updated by repeating the processing from step S5 onwards using the data associated with the updated data as training data.
If it is determined in step S16 that the determination result data is not applied to the training data for constructing the Bayesian network, the process returns to step S9 and the growth state of the crops is estimated using the Bayesian network that has not been updated.
