• Abstract: Accurate identification of strawberries during their maturing stages is crucial for optimizing yield management, and pest control, and making informed decisions related to harvest and post-harvest logistics. This study evaluates the performance of YOLOv8 model configurations for instance segmentation of strawberries into ripe and unripe stages in an open field environment. The YOLOv8n model demonstrated superior segmentation accuracy with a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 80.9\%, outperforming other YOLOv8 configurations. In terms of inference speed, YOLOv8n processed images at 12.9 milliseconds, while YOLOv8s, the least-performing model, processed at 22.2 milliseconds. Over 86 test images with 348 ground truth labels, YOLOv8n detected 235 ripe fruit classes and 51 unripe fruit classes out of 251 ground truth ripe fruits and 97 unripe ground truth labels, respectively. In comparison, YOLOv8s detected 204 ripe fruits and 37 unripe fruits. Overall, YOLOv8n achieved the fastest inference speed of 24.2 milliseconds, outperforming YOLOv8s, YOLOv8m, YOLOv8l, and YOLOv8x, which processed images at 33.0 milliseconds, 44.3 milliseconds, 53.6 milliseconds, and 62.5 milliseconds, respectively. These results underscore the potential of advanced object segmentation algorithms to address complex visual recognition tasks in open-field agriculture effectively to address complex visual recognition tasks in open-field agriculture effectively.
