Effective indoor testing on a four-poster rig of agricultural machinery should mimic the real-world environment while the machinery is in farming and transportation. The emerging load spectrum extrapolation and compilation are capable of speeding up the use of the indoor vibration testing of tractors. However, most ground load spectrum studies consider a particular type of ground rather than all the rough farmland conditions that tractors experience daily. Such a problem inevitably raises doubts about validating the load spectrum-based fatigue durability and reliability testing of tractors. For a remedy, this article proposes a CEEMDAN-POT (Peak Over Threshold) model to comprehensively build a full life-cycle ground load spectrum of tractor vibration with six ground conditions and different field operations. The study acquires the real four vertical acceleration signals from the front and rear axles of the tractor to collect representative vibration load data. Furthermore, the study refines the measured load data by proposing a CEEMDAN-Wavelet threshold method, which is proved to be effective for the load signal decomposition and denoising. Lastly, the study presents a time domain extrapolation method, integrating the sample principle of the POT model, the proper parameter estimation with the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) function, and the POT super-threshold model. The statistical analysis implies that the produced load spectrum fully preserves the statistical features observed in the original one. After extrapolation, the overall distribution of the rainflow matrix becomes more consistent while the mean and amplitude of the spectrum data increase. This study unifies a load spectrum of tractors operating and transporting on various farm ground conditions, providing the real load data of the indoor four-poster rig test.

Contactless and non-destructive measuring tools can facilitate the moisture monitoring of bagged or bulk grain during transportation and storage. However, accurate target recognition and size prediction always impede the effectiveness of contactless monitoring in actual use. This paper developed a novel 3D reconstruction method upon multi-angle point clouds using a binocular depth camera and a proper Yolo-based neural model to resolve the problem. With this method, this paper developed an embedded and low-cost monitoring system for the in-warehouse grain bags, which predicted targets’ 3D size and boosted contactless grain moisture measuring. Identifying and extracting the object of interest from the complex background was challenging in size prediction of the grain silo-bag on a conveyor. This study first evaluated a series of Yolo-based neural network models and explored the most appropriate neural network structure for accurately extracting the grain bag. In point-cloud processing, this study constructed a rotation matrix to fuse multi-angle point clouds to generate a complete one. This study deployed all the above methods on a Raspberry Pi-embedded board to perform the grain bag’s 3D reconstruction and size prediction. For experimental validation, this study built the 3D reconstruction platform and tested grain bags’ reconstruction performance. First, this study determined the appropriate positions (−60°, 0°, 60°) with the least positions and high reconstruction quality. Then, this study validated the efficacy of the embedded system by evaluating its speed and accuracy and comparing it to the original Torch model. Results demonstrated that the NCNN-accelerated model significantly enhanced the average processing speed, nearly 30 times faster than the Torch model. The proposed system predicted the objects’ length, width, and height, achieving accuracies of 97.76%, 97.02%, and 96.81%, respectively. The maximum residual value was less than 9 mm. And all the root mean square errors were less than 7 mm. In the future, the system will mount three depth cameras for achieving real-time size prediction and introduce a contactless measuring tool to finalize grain moisture detection.
