 Introduction
• Automation in the agricultural sector is extremely imperative in order to
boost the growth of this sector.

• Deep-Learning based methods have emerged as a possible way to

perform this automation

• System which makes plucking vegetables from farms just like a human do
will surely improve the efficiency of farmers.

3
 Problem Statement
• Our farmers are facing severe labor shortages and inefficient harvesting
cycles simply because mankind has a physical limit. Also, due to human’s
inherent propensity to work for a limited number of hours, farmers have
difficulty dealing with productivity issues. Despite constantly working all
day, labor comes to a halt at night, necessitating rest to work the next.

• Having a system which makes plucking the vegetables from the field just
as a human doe will surely improve the efficiency of farmers. Thus,
working with the embedded system team, a robotic arm is to be designed
which can pluck the raw and ripe tomatoes from the tomato trees without
the intervention of any human. The goal of my team is to create a code
using computer vision which can enable the robotic arm to pluck the
tomatoes in the field.

 Objective
• The objective of this project is to make algorithms and programs which
will be capable of performing the following tasks :

– Identify raw and ripe tomatoes in an image

– Identify raw and ripe tomatoes in a video
– Count the number of raw and ripe tomatoes in the frame
– Identify the percentage colour density of the tomato in a video as
well as in an image

 Methodology

Pascal 2007 mAP Speed

R-CNN 66.0 .05 FPS | 20 s/img

Fast R-CNN 70.0 .5 FPS | 2 s/img

Faster R-CNN 73.2 7 FPS | 140 ms/img

YOLO 63.4 45 FPS | 22 ms/img

6
 Dataset
• The dataset (images) was made available by the company. Since it
consisted of just images and no pre-trained models were available,
labeling images was necessary in order to feed it into the model for
creating a custom dataset model using YOLOv3.
• Around 900 images of raw and ripe tomatoes were available which
included:
– 450 images labeled Raw
– 450 images labeled Ripe

 Model Building
YOLO Framework

● Detection speed and accuracy of Yolo V3 meets the real-time

requirements for the detection process
● Precision on small objects is provided the best by Yolo V3
● YOLOv3 uses a multilabel approach which allows classes to be
more specific and be multiple for individual bounding boxes. This
will be helpful when differentiating between raw and ripe tomatoes.

 Work Description
• Any given machine learning problem begins with a well-formed problem
statement, data collection and preparation, model training and improvement,
and inference.
