Abstract

Fruit detection is of great significance in the agriculture. Recently, deep neural network has been widely studied in fruit detection. In our paper, we present a new approach of fruit detection, which uses Faster R-CNN based on deep network AlexNet. Our aim is to develop a fast, accurate and convenient model to detect and classify the fruit. Data augmentation is also used to increase the fruit dataset and avoid the overfitting in some degree. We use the fruits-360 dataset to perform the experiments.
