Ginger Seeding Detection and Shoot Orientation Discrimination Using an Improved YOLOv4-LITE Network

A consistent orientation of ginger shoots when sowing ginger is more conducive to high yields and later harvesting. However, current ginger sowing mainly relies on manual methods, seriously hindering the ginger industry’s development. Existing ginger seeders still require manual assistance in placin...
