The deployment of intelligent surveillance systems to monitor tomato plant growth poses substantial challenges due to the dynamic nature of disease patterns and the complexity of environmental conditions such as background and lighting. In this study, an integrated cascade framework that synergizes detectors and trackers was introduced for the simultaneous identification of tomato leaf diseases and fruit counting. We applied an autonomous robot with smartphone camera to collect images for leaf disease and fruits in greenhouses. Further, we improved the deep learning network YOLO-TGI by incorporating Ghost and CBAM modules, which was trained and tested in conjunction with premier lightweight detection models like YOLOX and NanoDet in evaluating leaf health conditions. For the cascading with various base detectors, we integrated state-of-the-art trackers such as Byte-Track, Motpy, and FairMot to enable fruit counting in video streams. Experimental results indicated that the combination of YOLO-TGI and Byte-Track achieved the most robust performance. Particularly, YOLO-TGI-N emerged as the model with the least computational demands, registering the lowest FLOPs at 2.05 G and checkpoint weights at 3.7 M, while still maintaining a mAP of 0.72 for leaf disease detection. Regarding the fruit counting, the combination of YOLO-TGI-S and Byte-Track achieved the best R2 of 0.93 and the lowest RMSE of 9.17, boasting an inference speed that doubles that of the YOLOX series, and is 2.5 times faster than the NanoDet series. The developed network framework is a potential solution for researchers facilitating the deployment of similar surveillance models for a broad spectrum of fruit and vegetable crops.
