Cabbage Transplantation State Recognition Model Based on Modified YOLOv5-GFD

Abstract

To enhance the transplantation effectiveness of vegetables and promptly formulate subsequent work strategies, it is imperative to study the recognition approach for transplanted seedlings. In the natural and complex environment, factors like background and sunlight often hinder accurate target recognition. To overcome these challenges, this study explores a lightweight yet efficient algorithm for recognizing cabbage transplantation states in natural settings. Initially, FasterNet is integrated as the backbone network in the YOLOv5s model, aiming to expedite convergence speed and bolster feature extraction capabilities. Secondly, the introduction of the GAM attention mechanism enhances the algorithm’s focus on cabbage seedlings. EIoU loss is incorporated to improve both network convergence speed and localization precision. Lastly, the model incorporates deformable convolution DCNV3, which further optimizes model parameters and attains a superior balance between accuracy and speed. Upon testing the refined YOLOv5s target detection algorithm, improvements were evident. When compared to the original model, the mean average precision (mAP) rose by 3.5 percentage points, recall increased by 1.7 percentage points, and detection speed witnessed an impressive boost of 52 FPS. This enhanced algorithm not only reduces model complexity but also elevates network performance. The method is expected to streamline transplantation quality measurements, minimize time and labor inputs, and elevate field transplantation quality surveys’ automation levels.
