A method of identification and localization of tea buds based on lightweight improved YOLOV5 by Yuanhong Wang, Yuanhong Wang, Jinzhu Lu, Jinzhu Lu, Qi Wang, Qi Wang, Zongmei Gao

“…Therefore, in this study, we propose the YOLOV5M-SBSD tea bud lightweight detection model to address the above issues. The Fuding white tea bud image dataset was established by collecting Fuding white tea images; then the lightweight network ShuffleNetV2 was used to replace the YOLOV5 backbone network; the up-sampling algorithm of YOLOV5 was optimized by using CARAFE modular structure, which increases the sensory field of the network while maintaining the lightweight; then BiFPN was used to achieve more efficient multi-scale feature fusion; and the introduction of the parameter-free attention SimAm to enhance the feature extraction ability of the model while not adding extra computation. …”
