• Abstract: Apple is one of the remarkable fresh fruit that contains a high degree of nutritious and medicinal value. Hand harvesting of apples by seasonal farmworkers increases physical damages on the surface of these fruits, which causes a great loss in marketing quality. The main objective of this study is focused on designing a robust vision algorithm for robotic apple harvesters. The proposed algorithm is able to recognize and classify 4-classes of objects found in an orchard scene including apples, leaves, trunk and branches, and sky into two apples and non-apples classes. 100 digital images of Red Delicious apples and 100 digital images of Golden Delicious apples were selected among 1000 captured images of apples from 18 apple gardens in West Azerbaijan, Iran. An image processing algorithm is proposed for segmentation and extraction of the image classes based on the color characteristics of mentioned classes. Invariant-Momentums were chosen as the extracted features from the segmented classes, e.g. apples. Multilayer Feedforward Neural Networks, MFNNs, were used as an artificial intelligence tool for the recognition and classification of image classes.

  Food image segmentation is an important task that has ubiquitous applications, such as estimating the nutritional value of a plate of food. One challenge is that food items can overlap and mix, making them difficult to distinguish. Two models are trained and compared, one based on convolutional neural networks and the other on Bidirectional representation for Image Transformers (BEiT) The BEiT model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art model by achieving a mean intersection over union of 49.4 on FoodSeg103.

• Localizing Small Apples in Complex Apple Orchard Environments [4.468952886990851]
  We tackle the problem of localization of apples in images of entire apple trees by adapting the object proposal generation system AttentionMask. We adapt AttentionMask by either adding a new module for very small apples or integrating it into a tiling framework. Both approaches clearly outperform standard object proposal generation systems on the MinneApple dataset.

  A vision algorithm is designed to extract and identify the surface defects on the Golden Delicious apples caused by the enzymic browning process. The image processing part of the proposed vision algorithm extracted the defective surface area of the apples with high accuracy of 97.15%. The analysis based on the above features indicated that the images with a mean less than 0.0065 did not belong to the defective apples; rather, they were extracted as part of the calyx and stem of the healthy apples.

We propose a multi-modality pre-training approach called ReLeM that explicitly equips a segmentation model with rich and semantic food knowledge.

  Feature Learning from Image Markers (FLIM) was recently proposed to estimate convolutional filters, with no backpropagation, from strokes drawn by a user on very few images. This paper extends FLIM for fully connected layers and demonstrates it on different image classification problems. The results show that FLIM-based convolutional neural networks can outperform the same architecture trained from scratch by backpropagation.

  We present a method that needs a minimal set of user-selected images to train the CNN's feature extractor.

It does not rely on optimization based on backpropagation, and we demonstrate its advantages on the binary classification of coconut-tree aerial images.
