Agricultural greenhouses (AGs) are an important facility for the development of modern agriculture. Accurately and effectively detecting AGs is a necessity for the strategic planning of modern agriculture. With the advent of deep learning algorithms, various convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models have been proposed for object detection with high spatial resolution images. In this paper, we conducted a comparative assessment of the three well-established CNN-based models, which are Faster R-CNN, You Look Only Once-v3 (YOLO v3), and Single Shot Multi-Box Detector (SSD) for detecting AGs. The transfer learning and fine-tuning approaches were implemented to train models. Accuracy and efficiency evaluation results show that YOLO v3 achieved the best performance according to the average precision (mAP), frames per second (FPS) metrics and visual inspection. The SSD demonstrated an advantage in detection speed with an FPS twice higher than Faster R-CNN, although their mAP is close on the test set. The trained models were also applied to two independent test sets, which proved that these models have a certain transability and the higher resolution images are significant for accuracy improvement. Our study suggests YOLO v3 with superiorities in both accuracy and computational efficiency can be applied to detect AGs using high-resolution satellite images operationally.
