Edge Computing-Based Machine Vision for Non-Invasive and Rapid Soft Sensing of Mushroom Liquid Strain Biomass by Libin Wu, Guimiao Xiao, Deyao Huang, Xiandong Zhang, Dapeng Ye, Haiyong Weng

“…The cascaded machine vision model mainly consists of three steps: first, the object detection task to locate the observation window, achieving a mean Average Precision (mAP50:95) of 82.3% with 78.7 GFLOPs; then, the segmentation task to extract liquid strain data within the observation window, yielding a mean intersection over union (MIoU) of 85.9% with 110.4 GFLOPs; and finally, calculating mycelium biomass indices via the morphological image processing task. The correlation between Edge CV inference and manual measurement showed an R² of 0.963 and an RMSE of 0.027 for normalized biomass indices, demonstrating a robust and consistent trend. …”
