Coffee Leaf Rust Disease Detection and Implementation of an Edge Device for Pruning Infected Leaves via Deep Learning Algorithms.

Global warming and extreme climate conditions caused by unsuitable temperature and humidity lead to coffee leaf rust () diseases in coffee plantations. Coffee leaf rust is a severe problem that reduces productivity. Currently, pesticide spraying is considered the most effective solution for mitigating coffee leaf rust.

Recognition and Counting of Apples in a Dynamic State Using a 3D Camera and Deep Learning Algorithms for Robotic Harvesting Systems.

Recognition and 3D positional estimation of apples during harvesting from a robotic platform in a moving vehicle are still challenging. Fruit clusters, branches, foliage, low resolution, and different illuminations are unavoidable and cause errors in different environmental conditions. Therefore, this research aimed to develop a recognition system based on training datasets from an augmented, complex apple orchard.
