Abstract
Machine learning (ML) is fast becoming a powerful tool for increasing agricultural production, for instance, ML predicts weather and yield through satellite images. Such approaches, however, most applications are based on expensive cloud servers to handle massive calculations, which will easily lead to important data leakage (e.g. crop cultivation methods, annual output, etc.), and increase the economic burden of farmers. Motivated by the status of agriculture, especially small farms that are underfunded and require data confidentiality. We propose an application for agricultural object detection based on a secure edge computing platform that can be used for agricultural output statistics and automated spraying agriculture. Compared with cloud-based ML agricultural applications, edge-based computing platforms do not require data uploading and downloading, which protects data security and reduces capital costs. We use some techniques in the training model and compression model to solve the problems of model accuracy and real-time, as follows: (1) Category-based Assisted Excitation model is proposed to improve the YOLOv3 accuracy. (2) Use layer pruning and channel pruning together to achieve a small-scale structure search and maximize real-time performance. We have evaluated our optimized model based on NVIDIA Jetson TX2 and Fruit Dataset. Its frames per second (FPS) is 11.63, mean average precision (MAP) is 89.6%.
