AI model forecasts sweet pepper yields using multimodal data

Researchers have developed a new multimodal deep learning framework to forecast the number of harvest-ready sweet peppers at an individual plant level. This system combines visual data processed by the DinoV3 encoder with numerical fruit count measurements, utilizing a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to capture temporal patterns. Experiments showed a significant reduction in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) compared to baseline models, and the framework also provides calibrated uncertainty estimates using Deep Ensembles and Gaussian Negative Log-Likelihood.
