The study presents an IoT-enabled acoustic monitoring system that uses a Raspberry Pi and high‑sensitivity microphone to capture audio from tea trunks, creating a dataset of 2,000 ten‑second samples (1,000 healthy, 1,000 infested). A CNN trained on Fourier‑derived spectrograms achieved 81.5% accuracy in classifying Postelectrotermes militaris infestations, and a weighted severity model combined CNN probability, acoustic amplitude, and proximity of infested plants to generate quantitative severity scores and geospatial maps. Field trials in Pundaluoya confirmed the system’s feasibility amid realistic environmental noise, offering plantation managers tools to identify high‑risk areas and prioritize inspections.

LeafTrackNet is a deep learning framework that combines a YOLOv10-based leaf detector with a MobileNetV3-based embedding network to track individual leaves over time. The authors introduce CanolaTrack, a large benchmark dataset of 5,704 RGB images with 31,840 annotated leaf instances from 184 canola plants. When evaluated without prior fine‑tuning, LeafTrackNet outperforms existing methods on CanolaTrack, KOMATSUNA, and MSU‑PID datasets, achieving HOTA scores of 88.03, 87.33, and 74.20 respectively.
The study presents a new approach to detect Christmas tree plantations in high‑resolution aerial imagery, treating the task as a rare‑target semantic segmentation problem. It introduces a Hard Negative Mining strategy that significantly improves precision‑recall performance, achieving an IoU of 0.733 and an F1‑score of 0.846 on a 2020 test set. Temporal transfer experiments demonstrate the model’s ability to generalize across years, while large‑scale validation highlights the challenge posed by the plantations’ small spatial footprint.
arXiv:2608. 11759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non-destructive X-ray imaging can reveal internal hazelnut defects that are difficult to detect by external inspection alone; however, automated interpretation remains challenging because of subtle radiographic differences among classes, marked class imbalance, and limited annotated data.
The paper presents an automated pipeline that uses unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) multispectral imagery and a Vision Transformer to detect wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) at the plant level. While the model achieved 89% accuracy on over 6,500 test patches using treatment-based labels, ELISA-based ground truth revealed significant label noise, indicating that the high accuracy was largely due to label bias rather than true disease detection. When evaluated against more reliable row‑level symptom severity and plant‑level ELISA labels, both deep learning and classical machine learning models showed limited generalization and weak separability between infected and mock‑inoculated plants, underscoring the importance of biologically grounded labels and realistic data conditions for UAS‑based disease detection.
