Evaluating the Single-Shot MultiBox Detector and YOLO Deep Learning Models for the Detection of Tomatoes in a Greenhouse.

ABSTRACT: The development of robotic solutions for agriculture requires advanced perception capabilities that can work reliably in any crop stage. For example, to automatise the tomato harvesting process in greenhouses, the visual perception system needs to detect the tomato in any life cycle stage (flower to the ripe tomato). The state-of-the-art for visual tomato detection focuses mainly on ripe tomato, which has a distinctive colour from the background. This paper contributes with an annotated visual dataset of green and reddish tomatoes. This kind of dataset is uncommon and not available for research purposes. This will enable further developments in edge artificial intelligence for in situ and in real-time visual tomato detection required for the development of harvesting robots. Considering this dataset, five deep learning models were selected, trained and benchmarked to detect green and reddish tomatoes grown in greenhouses. Considering our robotic platform specifications, only the Single-Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) and YOLO architectures were considered. The results proved that the system can detect green and reddish tomatoes, even those occluded by leaves. SSD MobileNet v2 had the best performance when compared against SSD Inception v2, SSD ResNet 50, SSD ResNet 101 and YOLOv4 Tiny, reaching an F1-score of 66.15%, an mAP of 51.46% and an inference time of 16.44ms with the NVIDIA Turing Architecture platform, an NVIDIA Tesla T4, with 12 GB. YOLOv4 Tiny also had impressive results, mainly concerning inferring times of about 5 ms.

Project description:The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been rapidly increasing in both professional and recreational settings, leading to concerns about the safety and security of people and facilities. One area of research that has emerged in response to this concern is the development of detection systems for UAVs. However, many existing systems have limitations, such as detection failures or false detection of other aerial objects, including birds. To address this issue, the development of a standard dataset that provides images of both drones and birds is essential for training accurate and effective detection models. In this context, we present a dataset consisting of images of drones and birds operating in various environments. This dataset will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and developers working on UAV detection and classification systems. The dataset was created using Roboflow software, which enabled us to efficiently edit and manipulate the images using AI-assisted bounding boxes, polygons, and instance segmentation. The software supports a wide range of input and output formats, making it easy to import and export the dataset in different machine learning frameworks. To ensure the highest possible accuracy, we manually segmented each image from edge to edge, providing the YOLO model with detailed and accurate information for training. The dataset includes both training and testing sets, allowing for the evaluation of model performance and accuracy. Our dataset offers several advantages over existing datasets, including the inclusion of both drones and birds, which are commonly misclassified by detection systems. Additionally, the images in our dataset were collected in diverse environments, providing a wide range of scenarios for model training and testing. The presented dataset provides a valuable resource for researchers and developers working on UAV detection and classification systems. The inclusion of both drones and birds, as well as the diverse range of environments and scenarios, makes this dataset a unique and essential tool for training accurate and effective models. We hope that this dataset will contribute to the advancement of UAV detection and classification systems, improving safety and security in both professional and recreational settings.

Project description:IntroductionWith the increasing number of Covid-19 cases as well as care costs, chest diseases have gained increasing interest in several communities, particularly in medical and computer vision. Clinical and analytical exams are widely recognized techniques for diagnosing and handling Covid-19 cases. However, strong detection tools can help avoid damage to chest tissues. The proposed method provides an important way to enhance the semantic segmentation process using combined potential deep learning (DL) modules to increase consistency. Based on Covid-19 CT images, this work hypothesized that a novel model for semantic segmentation might be able to extract definite graphical features of Covid-19 and afford an accurate clinical diagnosis while optimizing the classical test and saving time.MethodsCT images were collected considering different cases (normal chest CT, pneumonia, typical viral causes, and Covid-19 cases). The study presents an advanced DL method to deal with chest semantic segmentation issues. The approach employs a modified version of the U-net to enable and support Covid-19 detection from the studied images.ResultsThe validation tests demonstrated competitive results with important performance rates: Precision (90.96% ± 2.5) with an F-score of (91.08% ± 3.2), an accuracy of (93.37% ± 1.2), a sensitivity of (96.88% ± 2.8) and a specificity of (96.91% ± 2.3). In addition, the visual segmentation results are very close to the Ground truth.ConclusionThe findings of this study reveal the proof-of-principle for using cooperative components to strengthen the semantic segmentation modules for effective and truthful Covid-19 diagnosis.Implications for practiceThis paper has highlighted that DL based approach, with several modules, may be contributing to provide strong support for radiographers and physicians, and that further use of DL is required to design and implement performant automated vision systems to detect chest diseases.
