Researchers have developed FruitCapsNet, a novel capsule network designed for explainable fruit recognition in diverse real-world conditions. This network utilizes dilated convolutions within its capsules to capture multi-scale contextual information before employing dynamic routing to resolve spatial relationships. Experiments on multiple datasets, including a new in-the-wild dataset, show FruitCapsNet outperforms ten fine-tuned transfer-learning backbones, achieving the largest gains on the most challenging dataset. The system's explainability is enhanced by Grad-CAM saliency maps, which attribute decisions to whole-fruit regions, providing evidence that the performance improvements are not artifacts of the dataset.
