Geographic-scale coffee cherry counting with smartphones and deep learning
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/141476
Abstract
Deep learning and computer vision, using remote sensing and drones, are 2 promising nondestructive methods for plant monitoring and phenotyping. However, their applications are infeasible for many crop systems under tree canopies, such as coffee crops, making it challenging to perform plant monitoring and phenotyping at a large spatial scale at a low cost. This study aims…
