Lightweight YOLOv5 framework detects tomato growth stages in Bhutan

Researchers have developed a lightweight object detection framework, Pheno-Lite + Efficient Channel Attention (ECA), based on YOLOv5 for recognizing tomato growth stages in Bhutan's resource-constrained greenhouses. This model incorporates specialized backbone modules to enhance feature extraction and channel interaction, achieving high precision and recall. The framework is designed for real-time deployment and climate resilience in challenging agricultural environments. AI

IMPACT Offers a specialized, efficient AI solution for precision agriculture in challenging environments.
