Pear pollination is generally done by artificial pollination, and pollen collection is necessary for artificial pollination. Pollen collection is hard work, requiring long hours at high altitudes, and in recent years, much of the pollen is imported. However, if an important disease occurs in a pollen exporting country, imports are stopped, resulting in a decrease in production. To solve this problem, it is necessary to mechanize the pollen collection process and strengthen the domestic supply and demand system. In this study, we propose an AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based method for estimating pear pollen quantity. Specifically, we use YOLO (You Only Look Once), a deep learning-based object detection algorithm, to detect pear blossoms on photographed branches by classifying them into five stages, from bud to blossom. The amount of pollen per branch is calculated from the number of flowers in each flowering stage detected and the average amount of pollen per flower. In this paper, we report on the evaluation of the estimation accuracy of AI-based pear pollen quantity estimation developed by assessing the classification accuracy and detection precision during the detection of blooming stages using YOLO. |
