STRAWBERRY COUNTING

AI-powered strawberry counting and ripeness classification

The vision pipeline combines object detection, ripeness classification, and density analysis to compute fruit counts by block and row.

Model outputs are field-calibrated, reported with confidence scores, and used to generate re-scan recommendations for low-confidence zones.

Algorithm Outputs Operational data directly from the model
  • 01

    Object detection + counts

    Fruit counts are generated automatically by plant, row, and block.

  • 02

    Ripeness classification

    Distribution is reported for 0% / 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% maturity.

  • 03

    Confidence score + error analysis

    Low-confidence regions are flagged with a validation checklist.

ALGORITHM LAYER

What does the model produce?

The counting module converts raw imagery into operational metrics: counts, ripeness classes, density, and confidence in one data set.

Fruit detection: count extraction by plant and row.
Ripeness classes: 0% / 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% distribution.
Confidence scoring: re-scan list for low-confidence zones.
Model drift tracking: calibration recommendations across the season.

CRITICAL PROBLEMS

3 technical challenges solved by the algorithm

As model quality improves, field decisions become more reliable.

01

Missed fruit under dense canopy

Multi-sampling in low-visibility regions improves recall performance.

02

Variable light and shadow conditions

Light normalization and field thresholds reduce misclassification rates.

03

Model shift across cultivar and greenhouse types

Periodic calibration keeps model performance stable across varieties.

SOLUTION SUMMARY

Challenge → Solution → Benefits

The AI counting engine makes ripeness data reliable and measurable.
