YOLOv11-GSF: an optimized deep learning model for strawberry ripeness detection in agriculture by Haoran Ma, Qian Zhao, Runqing Zhang, Chunxu Hao, Wenhui Dong, Xiaoying Zhang, Fuzhong Li, Xiaoqin Xue, Gongqing Sun

“…To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces YOLOv11-GSF, a real-time strawberry ripeness detection algorithm based on YOLOv11, which incorporates several innovative features: a Ghost Convolution (GhostConv) convolution method for generating rich feature maps through lightweight linear transformations, thereby reducing computational overhead and enhancing resource utilization; a C3K2-SG module that combines self-moving point convolution (SMPConv) and convolutional gated linear units (CGLU) to better capture the local features of strawberry ripeness; and a F-PIoUv2 loss function inspired by Focaler IoU and PIoUv2, utilizing adaptive penalty factors and interval mapping to expedite model convergence and optimize ripeness classification. …”

Machine Learning Aided Resilient Spectrum Surveillance for Cognitive Tactical Wireless Networks: Design and Proof-of-Concept by Eli Garlick, Nourhan Hesham, MD. Zoheb Hassan, Imtiaz Ahmed, Anas Chaaban, MD. Jahangir Hossain

“…Due to the vast nature of interference signals in the frequency bands used by cognitive TWNs, it is non-trivial to acquire manually labeled data sets of all interference signals. Detecting the presence of an unknown and remote interference source in a frequency band from the transmitter end is also challenging, especially when the received interference power remains at or below the noise floor. …”

“…Atek et al. Using six sources with multiple line detections, we find that offsets in redshift estimates between the lines and the Ly α break alone can be ±0.2, raising caution in designing future follow-up spectroscopy for the break-only sources with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. …”
