在温室番茄生产中,自动化采收需精确检测成熟番茄、分类成熟度并精确定位采摘点以指导机械臂。本文提出YOLO26-RipeLoc Lite,基于YOLO26的轻量级深度学习架构,实现番茄检测、成熟度分类与中心点定位的联合任务。模型引入三项改进:(1) 轻量级特征金字塔网络(LFPN)采用深度可分离卷积实现高效多尺度融合;(2) 成熟度感知注意力模块(RAAM)结合双池化与可学习成熟度偏置向量,增强颜色-纹理判别能力;(3) 紧凑检测头(CDH)共享卷积并集成中心点回归分支,支持直接抓取规划。在阿布扎比SILAL温室采集的自定义数据集上评估,共含1,500张图像、6,227个实例(其中3,566个成熟,2,661个未成熟),模型在[email protected]达92.9%(成熟类95.2%,未成熟类90.6%),精度最高为95.2%,仅需2.38M参数。训练后进行30%的BatchNorm剪枝,参数降至约1.8M,精度损失可忽略。消融实验表明,温室感知的HSV增强带来最大提升(+2.02 pp mAP@50),冻结主干网络达到最高精度(93.8%),三阶段渐进解冻获得最优定位效果(mAP@50:95为64.6%)。相比YOLOv8n/s、YOLO11n/s、YOLO12n/s和YOLO26s,该模型在精度与效率平衡上表现更优:较YOLO12n精度高2.9个百分点,参数减少7.0%,且集成中心点回归功能,直接支持机械臂末端执行器引导。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In greenhouse tomato production, automated harvesting requires accurate detection of ripe tomatoes, ripeness classification, and precise picking-point localization for robotic end-effectors. This paper proposes YOLO26-RipeLoc Lite, a lightweight deep learning architecture based on YOLO26 for simultaneous detection, ripeness classification, and center-point localization of greenhouse tomatoes. The model introduces three modifications: (1) a Lightweight Feature Pyramid Network (LFPN) with depthwise separable convolutions for efficient multi-scale fusion, (2) a Ripeness-Aware Attention Module (RAAM) with dual pooling and a learnable ripeness bias vector for enhanced color-texture discrimination, and (3) a Compact Detection Head (CDH) with shared convolutions and an integrated center-point regression branch for direct grasp planning. The model is evaluated on a custom dataset of 1,500 images with 6,227 instances (3,566 ripe, 2,661 unripe) from the SILAL greenhouse, Abu Dhabi, UAE. YOLO26-RipeLoc Lite achieves [email protected] of 92.9% (95.2% ripe, 90.6% unripe) with the highest precision (95.2%) among all evaluated architectures using only 2.38M parameters. Post-training BatchNorm pruning at 30% reduces parameters to ~1.8M with negligible accuracy loss. Ablation studies confirm that greenhouse-aware HSV augmentation provides the largest improvement (+2.02 pp mAP@50), backbone freezing achieves peak precision (93.8%), and 3-phase progressive unfreezing yields the best localization quality (mAP@50:95 of 64.6%). Comparisons with YOLOv8n/s, YOLO11n/s, YOLO12n/s, and YOLO26s confirm superior accuracy-efficiency: 2.9 pp higher precision than YOLO12n with 7.0% fewer parameters and integrated center-point localization for robotic end-effector guidance.
