Journal Article
TANG, Y., HUANG, W., TAN, Z., CHEN, W., WEI, S., ZHUANG, J., HOU, C. and REN, J. 2025. Citrus fruit detection based on an improved YOLOv5 under natural orchard conditions. International journal of agricultural and biological engineering [online], 18(3), pages 176-185. Available from: https://doi.org/10.25165/j.ijabe.20251803.8935

Accurate detection of citrus can be easily affected by adjacent branches and overlapped fruits in natural orchard conditions, where some specific information of citrus might be lost due to the resultant complex occlusion. Traditional deep learning mo... Read More about Citrus fruit detection based on an improved YOLOv5 under natural orchard conditions..
