Reviewer 2 Report
The authors present in the manuscript an interesting application and correct analysis of the YOLOV7 detection algorithm to identify banana pseudostem by image analysis in complex cops environments.
The paper needs to be improved, therefore I recommend the following suggestions
Title:
I recommend: Banana pseudostem visual detection method based on improved
YOLOV7 detection algorithm
Abstract:
Line 4 and 10: “the complex environments”. Describe the characteristics of a complex crop or environment. Why is it considered a complex environment?
Line 8: “hard simples”. why are they considered hard samples?
Introduction:
Line 30: The idea “In the future, we intend to deploy…”, change for: An interesting future application is to deploy……”
Line 33 to 47: This should be moved to the methods and materials section.
In each item, rewrite the text expressed in the third person. For example: “1- A new complex scenario-based banana pseudostem dataset for banana pseudostem detection was built”
Note: Revise the entire manuscript, removing the sentences "we" "our"
Line 122: “To the best of our knowledge, there is no research on using convolutional neural networks for banana pseu-dostem detection.” This is irrelevant, delete the sentence
Line 136: with a resolution of 6024×4000, Replace by “image resolution 6024×4000 pixel”
Figure 1: I recommend reviewing the title, by “Image of the cultivated area… or area of interest”
Line 157: “50% of the computational effort of the model” What computational effort or time does it refer to?
The description and analysis of results is coherent and adequate. Maybe I should improve the discussion
Line 422: this should refer to table 7, review the numbering of the following tables and check the text of the manuscript.
Note: In tables 4, 5, 6 and 7 delete the average row (or item), confuse the reading
The grammatical aspect of the manuscript must be seriously reviewed
