A Deep Neural Network for Tomato Yield Prediction in Controlled Environment Agriculture
摘要
To optimize agricultural operations and guarantee food security, it is imperative to accurately predict drop yields. This paper introduces a deep neural network (DNN) model for predicting tomato yield in a controlled environment agriculture (CEA) system. The model capitalizes on a high-dimensional dataset that encompasses a diverse array of environmental and agronomic variables. With a test root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.07, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.05, and R-squared ( \({R}^{2}\) ) of 0.96, the DNN model exhibited high predictive accuracy. The cross-validated RMSE of 0.07 (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.03–0.12), MAE of 0.06 (95% CI: 0.01–0.12), and \({R}^{2}\) of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.56–1.08) further validated the model's performance. These results indicate the potential of the proposed DNN model to significantly enhance precision agriculture practices.
