Apple Detection

Apple detection research focuses on developing robust computer vision systems for automating tasks in orchard management, such as robotic harvesting and yield estimation. Current efforts utilize deep learning models, particularly variations of YOLO (You Only Look Once) and other object detection architectures, often incorporating techniques like attention mechanisms and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to improve accuracy and address challenges like occlusion and small object detection. These advancements aim to improve efficiency and sustainability in apple production by enabling precise fruit localization, maturity assessment, and disease detection, ultimately impacting both agricultural practices and post-harvest processes.
