AlertTrap: A study on object detection in remote insects trap monitoring system using on-the-edge deep learning platform

Fruit flies are one of the most harmful insect species to fruit yields. In AlertTrap, implementation of SSD architecture with different state-of-the-art backbone feature extractors such as MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2 appear to be potential solutions for the real-time detection problem. SSD-MobileNetV1 and SSD-MobileNetV2 perform well and result in AP@0.5 of 0.957 and 1.0 respectively. YOLOv4-tiny outperforms the SSD family with 1.0 in AP@0.5; however, its throughput velocity is slightly slower.
