1. Real-time Detection of Picking Region of Ridge Planted Strawberries Based on YOLOv5s with a Modified Neck

Robotic strawberry harvesting requires machine vision system to have the ability to detect the presence, maturity, and location of strawberries. Strawberries, however, can easily be bruised, injured, and even damaged during robotic harvest if not picked properly because of their soft surfaces. Therefore, it is important to cut or pick the strawberry stems instead of picking the fruit directly. Additionally, real-time detection is critical for robotic strawberry harvesting to adapt to the changing... Z. He, K. Manoj, Q. Zhang, S. Kshetri
