A digital twin-driven deep learning framework for online quality inspection in tobacco transplanting.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tobacco transplanting quality inspection is crucial for tobacco production, as it directly affects crop yield and quality of tobacco leaves. Accurate transplanting status detection and assessment provide essential support for replanting decisions and transplanting machine optimization. Traditional methods rely on manual inspection, which suffer from high cost, low efficiency, and unstable results. To tackle the aforementioned issues, this paper proposes a Deep Learning and Digital Twin driven Online Quality Inspection Method for Tobacco Transplanting, which consists of four core modules: Transplanting Status Detection, Multi-sensor Data Fusion, Digital Twin Visualization, and Operational Optimization Feedback. This paper proposes a lightweight improved YAN-YOLO11 algorithm capable of assessing normal, exposed-root, and buried seedlings. By fusing GNSS positioning data with visual detection results, the system estimates in-row spacing and performs status assessment for missed planting and double planting. The system establishes a virtual-real interactive closed-loop of "collection-detection-mapping-feedback" via the digital twin. By visualizing operational status in real-time and generating replanting path suggestions, it provides guidance for operation management and significantly improves inspection efficiency. Field experiments demonstrate that, compared with YOLO11n, YAN-YOLO11 improves precision and recall by 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively; mAP@50 increased by 3% to 80.9% ± 1.4%, and mAP@0.5:0.95 increased by 5.8% to 54.2% ± 1.0%, while significantly reducing model complexity. The system achieves a real-time performance of 30 FPS in the field, with an overall recognition accuracy of 90.74%, meeting practical application requirements. This study effectively enhances the digitalization, automation, and refined management of tobacco transplanting operations, providing a theoretical foundation and practical solution for the intelligent transformation of transplanting machinery and precision crop management.
