Identification of Tomato Disease Types and Detection of Infected Areas Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Object Detection Techniques. [PDF]
This study develops tomato disease detection methods based on deep convolutional neural networks and object detection models. Two different models, Faster R‐CNN and Mask R‐CNN, are used in these methods, where Faster R‐CNN is used to identify the types of tomato diseases and Mask R‐CNN is used to detect and segment the locations and shapes of the ...

A Novel Vision Sensing System for Tomato Quality Detection. [PDF]
Producing tomato is a daunting task as the crop of tomato is exposed to attacks from various microorganisms. The symptoms of the attacks are usually changed in color, bacterial spots, special kind of specks, and sunken areas with concentric rings having different colors on the tomato outer surface. This paper addresses a vision sensing based system for
