Abstract: In response to the problem of low recognition accuracy of the Faster R-CNN model for natural strawberries (Fragaria ananassa Duch.), the Faster R-CNN model was improved by improving the RPN structure and replacing the backbone feature extraction network using live images of strawberries planted on ridges as the data source.The results showed that the improved Faster R-CNN model had an average precision (AP) of 0.893 0 when identifying mature strawberries and 0.820 7 when identifying immature strawberries. The accuracy of strawberry recognition reached a high level, solving the problem of difficulty in identifying immature strawberries.Meanwhile, in order to test the automatic counting performance of the model, a linear regression between automatic counting and manual counting was established based on the recognition results of the model. The correlation coefficients of mature and immature strawberries were 0.973 7 and 0.944 7, respectively. The high correlation between automatic counting and manual counting indicated that the improved Faster R-CNN model had high recognition performance and counting ability.
