Color Dominance-Based Polynomial Optimization Segmentation for Identifying Tomato Leaves and Fruits by Juan Pablo Guerra Ibarra, Francisco Javier Cuevas de la Rosa, Alicia Linares Ramirez

“…Similarly, a UNetmodel is used for semantic segmentation, the results of which are inferior to those obtained by the proposed interpolation optimization method. The most significant contribution of the interpolation method is that it requires only a single iteration to generate the initial data, in contrast to the iterative search required by the greedy algorithm and the lengthy training process and video card dependency of the UNet model. …”
