arXiv:2608. 01202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fruit ripeness prediction (FRP) is a classification-based agricultural computer vision task that has attracted much attention, thanks to its wide-ranging advantages in agriculture field for both pre-harvest and post-harvest management.
The paper introduces a dataset‑centric benchmark for deep learning approaches to grape leaf disease classification and detection. It evaluates publicly available datasets on disease categories, annotations, acquisition conditions, and class distributions, and tests representative models across image‑level classification, region‑level classification, and object detection. Results reveal high accuracy on controlled datasets but significant performance drops on heterogeneous, real‑world data, especially in cross‑dataset transfer and object detection tasks.
STA‑Net is a lightweight neural network designed for plant disease classification on edge devices. It combines a training‑free neural architecture search (DeepMAD) to build an efficient backbone with a novel Shape‑Texture Attention Module (STAM) that separates shape and texture processing using deformable convolutions and a Gabor filter bank. On the CCMT plant disease dataset, STA‑Net achieved 89.00% accuracy and 88.96% F1 score with only 401K parameters and 51.1M FLOPs.
The paper introduces a lightweight multimodal vision‑language framework based on TinyCLIP for fine‑grained classification of early‑stage apple fruitlet anatomy (calyx, fruitlet body, peduncle) in orchard images. Using a dataset of 600 high‑resolution RGB images, the model employs domain‑specific language prompts and a sliding‑window inference strategy to produce interpretable heatmaps for whole‑image localization. Achieving macro‑F1 of 0.93 on an NVIDIA T4 GPU and maintaining accuracy after INT8 quantization, the system is optimized for edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson hardware with model sizes around 127‑137 MB and millisecond‑level inference.
Fruit ripeness prediction (FRP) is a classification-based agricultural computer vision task that has attracted much attention, thanks to its wide-ranging advantages in agriculture field for both pre-harvest and post-harvest management. Accurate and timely FRP can be achieved using machine/deep learning-based hyperspectral image classification techniques.

The paper evaluates how well Vision Transformers (ViTs) can handle token merging techniques—specifically ToMe and Mutual Pair Merging—across wheat phenotyping tasks such as growth-stage classification, wheat-head detection, and wheat-organ segmentation. It benchmarks task quality, throughput, token count, and GPU memory usage, including tests on a Raspberry Pi 5. Results show that classification is highly tolerant to token merging, whereas detection and segmentation suffer due to factors like repeated instances, thin organs, dense boundaries, and runtime overhead, and that optimized attention backends can negate apparent speed gains.

MIMONet is a saliency detection model that uses multi‑scale inputs and outputs to better handle objects of varying sizes. It processes three differently sized images through separate encoder branches that exchange information, allowing each branch to learn size‑variation knowledge from the others. A Multi‑scale Perception module further refines features, and a Joint Saliency Loss ensures consistent, well‑preserved boundaries across the multiple saliency maps produced.
