Researchers have developed FruitEnsemble, a novel two-stage framework for fine-grained fruit recognition, addressing challenges like limited datasets and visual similarity between fruit types. The system first uses a weighted ensemble of diverse models to create a candidate pool, then employs a multimodal large language model (MLLM) with Chain-of-Thought reasoning to arbitrate difficult cases by cross-referencing botanical descriptions. This approach, validated on a new dataset of 306 fruit categories and 116,233 samples, achieved a 70.49% classification accuracy, offering a practical solution for agricultural quality inspection. AI
