Wi-Wheat: Contact-Free Wheat Moisture Detection with Commodity WiFi

摘要

In this paper, we present a non-destructive and economic wheat moisture detection system with commodity WiFi. First, we experimentally validate the feasibility of wheat moisture detection by using CSI amplitude and phase difference data. We then design Wi-Wheat system, where data preprocessing, feature extraction and support vector machine (SVM) classification are implemented for CSI processing module. For data preprocessing, we employ outlier detection, data normalization and eliminating noise for obtaining clear CSI amplitude and phase difference data. Then, we consider principal component analysis (PCA) based feature extraction for Wi-Wheat system. For SVM classification, Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) is used as the kernel function for wheat moisture detection. The experimental results show the Wi-Wheat system can achieve higher classification accuracy for LOS and NLOS scenarios.
