Privacy concerns can potentially make camera-based object classification unsuitable for robot navigation. To address this problem, we propose a novel object classification system using only a 2D-LiDAR sensor on mobile robots. The proposed system enables semantic understanding of the environment by applying …

This study presents an automated method for detecting and measuring the apex head thickness of tomato plants, a critical phenotypic trait associated with plant health, fruit development, and yield forecasting. Due to the apex's sensitivity to physical contact, non-invasive monitoring is essential. This …

The paper introduced an automatic score detection model using object detection techniques. The performance of sevenmodels belonging to two different architectural setups was compared. Models like YOLOv8n, YOLOv8s, YOLOv8m, RetinaNet-50, and RetinaNet-101 are single-shot detectors, while Faster RCNN-50 …
