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. …”
