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

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 17, 2026 · UTC

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 were evaluated using their default configurations, while segmentation performance was assessed using YOLOv8-seg, YOLOv11-seg, YOLOv12-seg, the Segment Anything Model (SAM), SAMv2.1, FastSAM, and Grounded-SAM with the Recognize Anything Model (RAM). Among the detection models, GELAN-
