• Title: An Artificial Intelligence System for Combined Fruit Detection and Georeferencing, Using RTK-Based Perspective Projection in Drone Imagery
• Authors: Angus Baird and Stefano Giani
• Abstract summary: This work presents an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, which detects and counts apples from aerial drone imagery of commercial orchards. To reduce computational cost, a novel precursory stage to the network is designed to preprocess raw imagery into cropped images of individual trees. Unique geospatial identifiers are allocated to these using the perspective projection model. Experiments show that a k-means clustering approach, never before seen in literature for Faster R-CNN, resulted in the most significant improvements to calibrated mAP.

• Abstract: This work presents an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, based on the Faster Region-Based Convolution Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) framework, which detects and counts apples from oblique, aerial drone imagery of giant commercial orchards. To reduce computational cost, a novel precursory stage to the network is designed to preprocess raw imagery into cropped images of individual trees. Unique geospatial identifiers are allocated to these using the perspective projection model. This employs Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) data, Digital Terrain and Surface Models (DTM and DSM), as well as internal and external camera parameters. The bulk of experiments however focus on tuning hyperparameters in the detection network itself. Apples which are on trees and apples which are on the ground are treated as separate classes. A mean Average Precision (mAP) metric, calibrated by the size of the two classes, is devised to mitigate spurious results. Anchor box design is of key interest due to the scale of the apples. As such, a k-means clustering approach, never before seen in literature for Faster R-CNN, resulted in the most significant improvements to calibrated mAP. Other experiments showed that the maximum number of box proposals should be 225; the initial learning rate of 0.001 is best applied to the adaptive RMS Prop optimiser; and ResNet 101 is the ideal base feature extractor when considering mAP and, to a lesser extent, inference time. The amalgamation of the optimal hyperparameters leads to a model with a calibrated mAP of 0.7627.

  Pruning is a well-established technique that reduces the size of neural networks while mathematically guaranteeing accuracy preservation. We develop a new pruning algorithm, MPruner, that leverages mutual information through vector similarity. MPruner achieved up to a 50% reduction in parameters and memory usage for CNN and transformer-based models, with minimal to no loss in accuracy.

  Image super-resolution (SR) has witnessed extensive neural network designs from CNN to transformer architectures. This work investigates the potential of network pruning for super-resolution iteration to take advantage of off-the-shelf network designs and reduce the underlying computational overhead. We propose a novel Iterative Soft Shrinkage-Percentage (ISS-P) method by optimizing the sparse structure of a randomly network at each and tweaking unimportant weights with a small amount proportional to the magnitude scale on-the-fly.
