AI model forecasts sweet pepper yield using multimodal data

Researchers have developed a new multimodal deep learning framework to forecast the yield of sweet peppers. This framework combines visual data, processed by the DINOv3 encoder, with numerical fruit counts. Utilizing a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to capture temporal patterns, the model demonstrated a significant reduction in Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) compared to baseline methods. The system also incorporates Deep Ensembles and Gaussian Negative Log-Likelihood to provide calibrated uncertainty estimates, aiding in agricultural decision-making. AI

IMPACT This multimodal AI approach improves yield forecasting accuracy and provides uncertainty estimates, benefiting precision agriculture and supply-chain planning.

    Forecasting the Number of Harvest-ready Fruits of Sweet Peppers Using Multimodal Time-Series Data

    Accurate yield forecasting at the individual-plant level is critical for precision agriculture and supply-chain planning, yet public datasets capturing both visual growth dynamics and per-plant measurement labels are scarce. In this paper, we introduce a novel, annotated image ti…
