Estimating Vineyard Yield with Deep Learning and Depth Sensing
Vineyards change quickly as the season progresses. One week the clusters are barely visible, and a few weeks later the canopy fills with fruit. Keeping track of how much is […]
Automated On-Tree Detection and Size Estimation of Pomegranates by a Farmer Robot
Authors: Rosa Pia Devanna, Francesco Vicino, Simone Pietro Garofalo, Gaetano Alessandro Vivaldi, Simone Pascuzzi, Giulio Reina, Annalisa Milella Abstract: Pomegranate (Punica granatum) fruit size estimation plays a crucial role in […]
Toward Digital Twin of Off-Road Vehicles Using Robot Simulation Frameworks
Authors: Arianna Rana, Antonio Petitti, Angelo Ugenti, Rocco Galati, Giulio Reina, Annalisa Milella Abstract: Digital twins provide a powerful tool for testing and maintaining products and processes in several application […]
Yield estimation in precision viticulture by combining deep segmentation and depth-based clustering
Authors: Pia Devanna Rosa, Reina, Gulio, Milella Annalisa, Romeo Laura Abstract: Grapevine phenotyping, that is the process of determining the physical properties (e.g., size, shape, and number) of grape bunches, […]
How Zero-Shot AI Helps Robots “See” Grapes in Real Vineyards
Working in a vineyard means dealing with constant variation—sunlight shifts, leaves hide clusters, and every plant carries its own surprises. For farmers, this makes estimating bunch count and monitoring growth […]
Boosting grape bunch detection in RGB-D images using zero-shot annotation with Segment Anything and GroundingDINO
Authors: Pia Devanna Rosa, Reina, Gulio, Auat Cheein Fernando, Milella Annalisa Abstract: Latest advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in object recognition and segmentation, provide unprece- dented opportunities for precision agriculture. […]
A Robot That Sizes Pomegranates in the Orchard
When walking through a pomegranate orchard, farmers often rely on experience and a quick visual check to judge fruit size and ripeness. Researchers, on the other hand, typically turn to […]
Toward a Digital Twin of Off-Road Robots: What This Research Brings to AgRibot
Authors: Arianna Rana, Antonio Petitti, Angelo Ugenti, Rocco Galati, Giulio Reina, Annalisa Milella If you’ve ever tried to model a real agricultural robot inside a simulator, you already know the […]
