ArXi:2604.16743v1 Announce Type: new Traditional melissopalynology is a time-consuming and subjective process, often taking 4-6 hours per sample. We present an automated, high-throughput microscopy system that integrates $H\infty$ robust mechanical control with advanced deep learning pipelines for the precise counting, classification, and morphological analysis of pollen grains from Bio Bio region in south central territory in Chile. Our system employs $U^{2}$-Net for salient object detection and a DINOv2 Vision Transformer backbone trained via Deep Metric Learning for classification.
