Pistachios are an agricultural product widely used in the food industry. It is very important that pistachios are presented to the consumer in good quality on time. At the same time, whether the shells of pistachios are open or closed is an important criterion from a commercial industrial point of view. Pistachios with their shells open have a high unsaturated fat content, a high maturity level and an expensive market value. In this study, the open or closed status of pistachios was determined by using Artificial Intelligence-based deep learning models. For pistachio detection, 423 image data belonging to the Pesteh dataset were classified using models of the Yolov8 algorithm, which detects objects using convolutional neural networks. The data set is divided into 80% training, 10% validation and 10% testing. The performances of the models were evaluated with precision, recall, F1 and mAP score metrics. The highest test mAP value of the Yolov8 algorithm, which was run with image data consisting of pistachios, was obtained with the Yolov8-m model with 94.8%. The Yolov8-m model achieved a very successful result with 49.6 MB weight size, 11.0 ms inference time value and 0.33 hours training time value. In addition, the model's fast classification performance and small file size facilitate its applicability in the industrial field. The results show that the classification and detection of open and closed shell pistachios has been successfully carried out with Yolo models.

Computer vision techniques offer promising tools for disease detection in orchards and can enable effective phenotyping for the selection of resistant cultivars in breeding programmes and research. In this study, a digital phenotyping system for disease detection and monitoring was developed using drones, object detection and photogrammetry, focusing on European pear rust (Gymnosporangium sabinae) as a model pathogen. High-resolution RGB images from ten low-altitude drone flights were collected in 2021, 2022 and 2023. A total of 16,251 annotations of leaves with pear rust symptoms were created on 584 images using the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT). The YOLO algorithm was used for the automatic detection of symptoms. A novel photogrammetric approach using Agisoft’s Metashape Professional software ensured the accurate localisation of symptoms. The geographic information system software QGIS calculated the infestation intensity per tree based on the canopy areas. This drone-based phenotyping system shows promising results and could considerably simplify the tasks involved in fruit breeding research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
