| contents | Food wastage is one of the critical challenges in the agricultural supply chain, and accurate and effective spoilage detection can help to reduce it. Further, it is highly important to forecast the spoilage information. This aids the longevity of the supply chain management in the agriculture field. This motivated us to propose fusion based architectures by combining CNN with LSTM and DeiT transformer for the following multi-tasks simultaneously: (i) vegetable classification, (ii) food spoilage detection, and (iii) shelf life forecasting. We developed a dataset by capturing images of vegetables from their fresh state until they were completely spoiled. From the experimental analysis it is concluded that the proposed fusion architectures CNN+CNN-LSTM and CNN+DeiT Transformer outperformed several deep learning models such as CNN, VGG16, ResNet50, Capsule Networks, and DeiT Transformers. Overall, CNN + DeiT Transformer yielded F1-score of 0.98 and 0.61 in vegetable classification and spoilage detection respectively and mean squared error (MSE) and symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) of 3.58, and 41.66% respectively in spoilage forecasting. Further, the reliability of the fusion models was validated on noisy images and integrated with LIME to visualize the model decisions. |
