Abstract:	Insect pest detection and monitoring are vital in an agricultural crop to help prevent losses and be more precise and sustainable regarding the consequent actions to be taken. Deep learning (DL) approaches have attracted attention, showing triumphant performance in many image-based applications. In the adult stage, this research considers detecting a vital insect pest in soybean crops, the Neotropical brown stink bug (Euschistus heros), from field images acquired by drones and cellphones. We develop and test an improved YOLO-model convolutional neural network (CNN) with fewer parameters than other state-of-the-art models and demonstrate its superior generalization and average precision on public image datasets and the new field data provided here. Considering the proposal's precision and time of response, the possibility of deploying this technology for automatic monitoring and pest management in the near future is promising. We provide open code and data for all the experiments performed.
