Optimizing Mask R-CNN for enhanced quinoa panicle detection and segmentation in precision agriculture

Quinoa is a resilient, nutrient-rich crop with strong potential for cultivation in marginal environments, yet it remains underutilized and under-researched, particularly in the context of automated yield estimation. In this study, we introduce a novel deep learning approach for quinoa panicle detect...
