Selective Cotton Boll Localization for Robotic Harvesting: Evaluation of Deep Learning Vision Models Under Field Conditions

This study developed and evaluated a deep-learning-based perception framework for selective robotic cotton picking. The dataset contained 1,008 annotated field images collected using three cameras under varying natural lighting and weather conditions. Object-detection models from the YOLOv8 through YOLOv13 families wer...
