    Crop Detection and Maturity Classification Using a YOLOv5-Based Image Analysis
    (Ital Publication, 2024-04) Moya, Viviana; Quito, Angélica; Pilco, Andrea; Vásconez, Juan P.; Vargas, Christian
    In recent years, the accurate identification of chili maturity stages has become essential for optimizing cultivation processes. Conventional methodologies, primarily reliant on manual assessments or rudimentary detection systems, often fall short of reflecting the plant’s natural environment, leading to inefficiencies and prolonged harvest periods. Such methods may be imprecise and time-consuming. With the rise of computer vision and pattern recognition technologies, new opportunities in image recognition have emerged, offering solutions to these challenges. This research proposes an affordable solution for object detection and classification, specifically through version 5 of the You Only Look Once (YOLOv5) model, to determine the location and maturity state of rocoto chili peppers cultivated in Ecuador. To enhance the model’s efficacy, we introduce a novel dataset comprising images of chili peppers in their authentic states, spanning both immature and mature stages, all while preserving their natural settings and potential environmental impediments. This methodology ensures that the dataset closely replicates real-world conditions encountered by a detection system. Upon testing the model with this dataset, it achieved an accuracy of 99.99% for the classification task and an 84% accuracy rate for the detection of the crops. These promising outcomes highlight the model’s potential, indicating a game-changing technique for chili small-scale farmers, especially in Ecuador, with prospects for broader applications in agriculture. © 2024 by the authors.

    Smart Delivery Assignment through Machine Learning and the Hungarian Algorithm
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-06) Vásconez, Juan Pablo; Schotborgh, Elias; Vásconez, Ingrid Nicole; Moya, Viviana; Pilco, Andrea; Menéndez, Oswaldo; Guamán-Rivera, Robert; Guevara, Leonardo
    Intelligent transportation and advanced mobility techniques focus on helping operators to efficiently manage navigation tasks in smart cities, enhancing cost efficiency, increasing security, and reducing costs. Although this field has seen significant advances in developing large-scale monitoring of smart cities, several challenges persist concerning the practical assignment of delivery personnel to customer orders. To address this issue, we propose an architecture to optimize the task assignment problem for delivery personnel. We propose the use of different cost functions obtained with deterministic and machine learning techniques. In particular, we compared the performance of linear and polynomial regression methods to construct different cost functions represented by matrices with orders and delivery people information. Then, we applied the Hungarian optimization algorithm to solve the assignment problem, which optimally assigns delivery personnel and orders. The results demonstrate that when used to estimate distance information, linear regression can reduce estimation errors by up to 568.52 km (1.51%) for our dataset compared to other methods. In contrast, polynomial regression proves effective in constructing a superior cost function based on time information, reducing estimation errors by up to 17,143.41 min (11.59%) compared to alternative methods. The proposed approach aims to enhance delivery personnel allocation within the delivery sector, thereby optimizing the efficiency of this process.
