Automated Fish Maw Authenticity Detection Using a Lightweight YOLO Framework
Driven by the worldwide surge in fish maw commerce, authenticity verification has emerged as an urgent concern due to mounting adulteration incidents. Conventional approaches to verification—whether sensory-based, chemically oriented, or molecular—suffer from practical deployment constraints. The present study reframes fish maw genuineness assessment as a detection task within the object recognition paradigm and introduces RDT-YOLO, a streamlined detection model grounded in YOLO11n architecture. Addressing the twin difficulties of insufficient nuanced texture representation and processing overhead in this domain, we engineer hierarchically structured reparameterized modules for feature extraction that deploy reparameterization tactics to amplify multi-resolution texture discrimination. To counteract degradation of information arising during cross-scale feature merging, a Dynamic Adaptive Multi-Scale Pyramid Processing (DAMSPP) component is devised, integrating adaptive convolution dynamics that facilitate responsive feature synthesis. Concurrently, an Adaptive Task-Aligned Detection Head (ATADH) is formulated, fusing interactive task mechanisms with weight-shared convolutions to achieve parameter economy alongside precision gains. Moreover, Wise-ShapeIoU, a novel loss formulation, is constructed by injecting Wise-IoU's focusing coefficient into the Shape-IoU framework, thereby sharpening detection fidelity through refined contour alignment. Benchmark experiments confirm that RDT-YOLO delivers precision of 91.9%, recall of 89.6%, and [email protected] of 94% while slashing parameter count, storage footprint, and FLOPs by 75.6%, 73.8%, and 63.8%, respectively, against YOLO11s. Comparative trials versus YOLOv10s and YOLOv12s reveal [email protected] elevations of 0.8 and 0.5 percentage points. This investigation furnishes an automated pipeline for verifying fish maw genuineness, bearing implications extending across food integrity applications.

Enhanced YOLOv9-GSSA Network for Efficient Detection of Soybean Seedlings and Weeds under Field Conditions
Real-time tracking of soybean seedling development demands an efficient approach for correctly recognizing seedlings and eliminating weeds. Difficulties stem from the tiny scale and shape-based likeness between seedlings and weeds, which makes standard detection techniques more complex. In response to these issues, a real-time detection framework termed YOLOv9-GSSA is introduced. A refined Mosaic-Dense algorithm boosts object concentration at the input stage of the model, improving its power to capture subtle features. Additionally, a neck optimization component called GSSA, integrating GSConv with Gated Self-Attention, aids essential information extraction and the exchange of features across scales. The Swin-GSSA prediction head further draws on spatial positioning cues, enabling better small object recognition and resolution of overlapping occlusion. Tests reveal that our model secures a mAP of 47.5% with a per-image detection speed of 23.42 ms, making it viable for real-time surveillance. The upgraded model notably strengthens the recognition of soybean seedlings and weeds, functioning as a useful asset for efficient farmland oversight. This ultimately contributes to precise yield forecasting and informed choices in precision agriculture.

Remote Sensing, Machine Learning, and Smart Farming: An Umbrella Review of Review-Level Evidence for Crop Monitoring, Disease Detection, and Yield Forecasting
Remote sensing and machine learning have become prominent components of smart farming research, generating an expanding body of review literature across agricultural monitoring and prediction applications. This umbrella review synthesises review-level evidence concerning crop monitoring, disease detection, yield forecasting, and decision support while examining the methodological conditions that shape evidence strength and transferability. Peer-reviewed systematic reviews, scoping reviews, structured reviews, surveys, meta-reviews, and other eligible review-level articles were identified through searches of major academic databases and publisher platforms. Evidence was organised by application domain, sensing modality, analytical method, validation design, generalisation, uncertainty, reproducibility, and decision-support relevance. Crop-monitoring reviews describe extensive use of satellite, unmanned aerial vehicle, multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, and multimodal data for crop mapping, growth assessment, phenotyping, stress monitoring, and related applications. Disease-detection reviews report rapid expansion of image-based machine learning and deep learning, but repeatedly identify data scarcity, class imbalance, curated-image dependence, and limited cross-context validation. Yield-forecasting reviews identify recurring integration of remote sensing, weather, soil, crop-model, and management information, although forecast horizons, spatial and temporal validation, uncertainty communication, and decision relevance remain inconsistent. Across domains, reported technical promise is moderated by heterogeneous datasets, benchmark inconsistency, review overlap, incomplete reproducibility, and limited evidence of transfer across crops, regions, seasons, and acquisition conditions. Review-level evidence supports a substantial research opportunity for remote sensing and machine learning in smart farming, but it does not independently establish field readiness, diagnostic reliability, operational forecasting performance, or deployment readiness. Stronger review reporting, external validation, transparent benchmarking, uncertainty assessment, reproducible workflows, and responsible decision-support evaluation are required.
