Computer vision guided automated tree fruit harvesting: Sweet Cherries

The book "Computer Vision Guided Automated Tree Fruit Harvesting: Sweet Cherries" by Suraj Amatya provides a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in automated fruit harvesting, particularly for sweet cherries. With advancements in robotics and sensor technologies, innovative methods for harvesting fruit based on mechanical shaking of branches are being developed. These techniques can be optimized by autonomous robotic harvesters capable of identifying the right branches and shaking points. The book describes a computer vision system that precisely guides the robotic harvester to make the harvesting process more efficient and minimize human intervention. This research is of great significance for the future of agriculture, as it can significantly enhance the efficiency and sustainability of fruit harvesting.
