Author Response

Thank you very much for your suggestion. We have modified and improved some of the pictures in the manuscript. And the relevant content is supplemented and improved. Thank you again for your suggestion.

Reviewer 2 Report

The respective authors researched and analyzed the influence of different speed measurement methods on the monitoring accuracy of seed spacing. Although the subject is interesting for the readers of the journal. However, there are some issues that need to be addressed within the manuscript before publication.

 

Abstract

Please summarized the abstract.  It is too long.

Please change the Keywords. Keywords should not be mentioned in the title.

Introduction

Please explain what is the difference between your method and the following papers:

 

Real-time laboratory and field monitoring of the effect of the operational parameters on seed falling speed and trajectory of pneumatic planter

 

Nonlinear mathematical modeling of seed spacing uniformity of a pneumatic planter using genetic programming and image processing

 

In the last paragraph of the introduction explain the novelty of your research.

 

Material and methods:

How do you tackle multiple seed-dropping? Please explain this in the paper.

You need to test at least three different seeds with different sizes and analysis seed types in the statistical analysis. Please have a look at the above-mentioned papers.

  Please add seed types to your experiment and then re-do the analysis. 

Regards,

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors
Thanks for providing the response to my comments. About multiple seeds, you need to mention within the manuscript that your proposed system could not handle it however there are other advantages like..... 
Those paper I have mentioned using image processing could handle multiple seed output. Therefore, mentioned them in the manuscript and critisist them based on your system. 
Regards,
