    Convolution Neural Network (cnn) Based Automatic Sorting of Cherries
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Park,H.; Khan,M.U.
    Cherries are spring fruits enriched with nutrients, and are easily available in food markets around the world. Due to their excess demand, many enterprises solely focused on their processing. Cherries are especially susceptible to pathological-, physiological-diseases and structural degradation due to their soft outer skin. The post-harvest life of the fruit is limited by various characteristics. The agricultural industry has also been at the forefront to get benefits from the advanced machine learning tools. This study presents an image processing-based system for sorting cherries using the convolutional neural network (CNN). For this study, Prunus avium L cherries of export quality, available in Turkey, tagged as ‘0900 Ziraat’, are used. Surprisingly, there exists no dataset for these cherries; hence, we developed our dataset. Through the proposed approach based upon U-Net, the binary classification accuracy of 99% is achieved. Clear identification is demonstrated by the test results of varying mixture ratios of good and bad cherries. It can therefore be said that for cherry sorting and grading, U-Net can be applied as a reliable and promising machine learning tool. ©2021 IEEE

    AI-Driven Drought Management System: A Turkish Case Study
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Sabamehr,M.; Ekin,C.C.
    Nowadays, drought is one of the trending topics in the world that has turned into a challenge for the world. By developing countries and cities worldwide, especially in the economic aspect, governments started to damage the environment such as through the use of fossil fuels, pollution of the seas, unregulated use of fresh water also deforestation for personal purposes. The presented research aims to change the format of drought mitigation strategies from traditional ways into the up to date treats. Leveraging AI technologies, including machine learning algorithms and data analytics, a comprehensive AI-driven drought management system is designed and implemented. In this system, inconsistent data have been obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry organization and transformed into insightful data and analyzed in real-Time style to provide the status of agricultural products in Turkey. This research contributes to the fields of environmental science and agriculture by innovatively augmenting traditional approaches with AI-driven solutions. Ultimately, our research offers a means to monitor weather conditions in different regions of Turkey, moving beyond manual drought prediction and guesswork that were prevalent in previous systems. Additionally, it facilitates the evaluation of vegetation health by considering precipitation and temperature averages in each area. © 2023 IEEE.
