1. Hardware–Software Co-Design of Quantized CNN Inference for Edge AI in Precision Agriculture

Precision agriculture increasingly relies on real-time automated inspection systems to ensure crop quality and reduce manual labor in grain handling processes. Manual visual inspection, traditionally used for grain quality assessment, is inherently limited by low throughput, subjectivity, and high labor costs. To address these issues, automated vision-based inspection systems have been widely adopted in industrial environments, enabling high-throughput and consistent grain classification. Recent... E.
