Foxtail Millet Ear Detection Approach Based on YOLOv4 and Adaptive Anchor Box Adjustment

Foxtail millet ear detection and counting are essential for the estimation of foxtail millet production and breeding. However, traditional foxtail millet ear counting approaches based on manual statistics are usually time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to count the foxtail millet ears accur...
