PSO-CNN-Bi-LSTM: A Hybrid Optimization-Enabled Deep Learning Model for Smart Farming
ENVIRONMENTAL MODELING & ASSESSMENT(2023)
Abstract
Food security is a crucial requirement in today’s world to meet the dietary needs of individuals. As the population continues to grow, the demand for food will increase by 70 to 100 percent by 2050. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an approach that can assist farmers in predicting crop yield accurately and in a timely manner before crop harvesting. In this direction, the present study proposed a nature-inspired optimized hybrid convolutional neural network with bidirectional long short-term memory to extract the nonlinear complex relationships among crop attributes. This hybrid deep learning model was optimized using a particle swarm optimization approach to automate the selection of appropriate hyperparameters for wheat yield prediction. The proposed model was developed to estimate wheat yield in a major wheat-producing state in India from 2000 to 2018 using the temporal and spatial characteristics of wheat crops. The experiment was conducted by integrating the historical yield, meteorological data, remote sensing-derived indices, and soil parameters from the October to April season. Furthermore, we also evaluated the performance of the proposed model in terms of the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean squared error (MSE) with publicly available datasets such as Agro_data, Soybean_data, and FAO_data. The experimental results showed that the proposed PSO-CNN-Bi-LSTM method achieved an MAE of 0.39, MSE of 0.18, and RMSE of 0.42 (tonnes/ha) and outperformed existing CNN, LSTM, CNN-LSTM, CNN-Bi-LSTM, CNN-LSTM-PSO, CNN-Bi-LSTM-BO-GO, and neural network methods. Our findings demonstrated that the proposed methodology could be a promising alternative for predicting crop yield.
