Authors: Yuefei Chen, Xinli Zheng, Chunhua Ju and Fuguang Bao
Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel pruning classification strategy model called "OTSU-SVM" to evaluate the pruning performance. The data from the pear trees in the Yuhang District, Hangzhou is also used in the experiment. We prove that the OTSU-SVM has good accuracy with 80% and high performance in the evaluation of the pruning for the pear trees.

Abstract: The tree pruning process is the key to promoting fruits' growth and improving their productions due to effects on the photosynthesis efficiency of fruits and nutrition transportation in branches. Currently, pruning is still highly dependent on human labor. The workers' experience will strongly affect the robustness of the performance of the tree pruning. Thus, it is a challenge for workers and farmers to evaluate the pruning performance. Intended for a better solution to the problem, this paper presents a novel pruning classification strategy model called "OTSU-SVM" to evaluate the pruning performance based on the shadows of branches and leaves. This model considers not only the available illuminated area of the tree but also the uniformity of the illuminated area of the tree. More importantly, our group implements OTSU algorithm into the model, which highly reinforces robustness of the evaluation of this model. In addition, the data from the pear trees in the Yuhang District, Hangzhou is also used in the experiment. In this experiment, we prove that the OTSU-SVM has good accuracy with 80% and high performance in the evaluation of the pruning for the pear trees. It can provide more successful pruning if applied into the orchard. A successful pruning can broaden the illuminated area of individual fruit, and increase nutrition transportation from the target branch, dramatically elevating the weights and production of the fruits.

This paper presents an automated pipeline for detecting tree whorls in proximally laser scanning data using a pose-estimation deep learning model. Accurate whorl detection provides valuable insights into tree growth patterns, wood quality, and offers potential for use as a biometric marker to track trees throughout the forestry value chain.

Learning a Decision Tree Algorithm with Transformers [75.96920867382859]
We introduce MetaTree, a transformer-based model trained via meta-learning to directly produce strong decision trees. We fit both greedy decision trees and globally optimized decision trees on a large number of datasets, and train MetaTree to produce only the trees that achieve strong generalization performance.

Why do Random Forests Work? Understanding Tree Ensembles as Self-Regularizing Adaptive Smoothers [68.76846801719095]
We argue that the current high-level dichotomy into bias- and variance-reduction prevalent in statistics is insufficient to understand tree ensembles. We show that forests can improve upon trees by three distinct mechanisms that are usually implicitly entangled.

Yield Evaluation of Citrus Fruits based on the YoloV5 compressed by Knowledge Distillation [5.585209836203215]
In the field of planting fruit trees, pre-harvest estimation of fruit yield is important for fruit storage and price evaluation. In this paper, a fruit counting and yield assessment method based on computer vision is proposed for citrus fruit trees. Experiments show that the proposed method can accurately count fruits and approximate the yield.

Automated Identification of Tree Species by Bark Texture Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks [0.0]
Identification of tree species plays a key role in forestry related tasks like forest conservation, disease diagnosis and plant production. There had been a debate regarding the part of the tree to be used for differentiation, whether it should be leaves, fruits, flowers or bark. In this paper, a deep learning based approach is presented by leveraging the method of computer vision to classify 50 tree species.

Social Interpretable Tree for Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction [75.81745697967608]
We propose a tree-based method, termed as Social Interpretable Tree (SIT), to address this multi-modal prediction task. A path in the tree from the root to leaf represents an individual possible future trajectory. Despite the hand-crafted tree, the experimental results on ETH-UCY and Stanford Drone datasets demonstrate that our method is capable of matching or exceeding the performance of state-of-the-art methods.

We study the effect of pruning throughout training from the perspective of pruning plasticity. We design a novel gradual magnitude pruning (GMP) method, named gradual pruning with zero-cost neuroregeneration (GraNet) and its dynamic sparse training (DST) variant (GraNet-ST) Perhaps most impressively, the latter for the first time boosts the sparse-to-sparse training performance over various dense-to-sparse methods by a large margin with ResNet-50 on ImageNet.

A procedure for automated tree pruning suggestion using LiDAR scans of fruit trees [0.0]
In fruit tree growth, pruning is an important management practice for preventing overcrowding, improving canopy access to light and promoting regrowth. We present a framework for suggesting pruning strategies on LiDAR-scanned commercial fruit trees using a scoring function. The light distribution was improved by up to 25.15%, demonstrating a 16% improvement over commercial pruning on a real tree, and certain cut points were discovered which improved light distribution with a smaller negative impact on tree volume.
