A Comparative Study of Modern Object Detectors for Robust Apple Detection in Orchard Imagery

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.09996v1 Announce Type: new Accurate apple detection in orchard images is important for yield prediction, fruit counting, robotic harvesting, and crop monitoring. However, changing illumination, leaf clutter, dense fruit clusters, and partial occlusion make detection difficult.
