This capability will expand robotic operation to wider classes of orchards, with trellised and hedged trees with deeper canopies and less stringent pruning and thinning requirements. It is recognized that fruit visibility is key to fruit detection, and we are investigating state-of-the-art deep learning-based object detection in combination with tree foliage agitation via airflow in a targeted and controlled fashion, and that image sequences \u2013 rather than individual frames \u2013 and multiple dynamic viewpoints from arm cameras to drastically increase fruit visibility and detection.<\/p><div>\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&nbsp;Harvesting UC&nbsp;Davis Improving the detection of fruit to increase picking efficiency.
