Automated binary classification of hazelnut X-ray images: A deep-learning benchmark for quality assessment

arXiv:2608. 11759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non-destructive X-ray imaging can reveal internal hazelnut defects that are difficult to detect by external inspection alone; however, automated interpretation remains challenging because of subtle radiographic differences among classes, marked class imbalance, and limited annotated data.

CropCop: An Auditable 120-Class Plant-Health Model from Benchmark Reconstruction to a Quantised Runtime Artifact

CropCop is a closed‑set plant‑health recognition system covering 120 operational classes, built from a rigorously audited dataset of 109,107 images after removing 3,233 duplicate relationships. The model, based on a fine‑tuned DINOv3 ConvNeXt‑Tiny, achieves 98.51% accuracy and 96.87% macro‑F1 on a locked internal test, while a quantised MobileNetV4 variant reaches 98.46% accuracy and 96.23% macro‑F1 in a 22.60 MiB runtime artifact. Validation‑only post‑training quantisation and a compact ExecuTorch/XNNPACK PTE ensure high fidelity between the trained model and its deployed form, with minimal decision changes between the INT8 graph and the final artifact.

A Dataset-Centric Benchmark of Deep Learning Methods for Grape Leaf Disease Classification and Detection

The paper introduces a dataset‑centric benchmark for deep learning approaches to grape leaf disease classification and detection. It evaluates publicly available datasets on disease categories, annotations, acquisition conditions, and class distributions, and tests representative models across image‑level classification, region‑level classification, and object detection. Results reveal high accuracy on controlled datasets but significant performance drops on heterogeneous, real‑world data, especially in cross‑dataset transfer and object detection tasks.

Vision Transformers versus convolutional neural networks for fine-grained orchid genus identification in a species-rich, data-poor flora: a controlled benchmark on the Orchidaceae of New Guinea

The study benchmarks Vision Transformers (ViTs) against convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fine‑grained orchid genus identification in New Guinea’s species‑rich, data‑poor flora. Using a two‑stage system that first predicts genus and then retrieves similar species images, the authors fine‑tuned four pretrained backbones on 16,701 photographs from 120 genera and 1,350 species. The self‑supervised ViT DINOv2 achieved the highest genus accuracy (macro top‑1 66.9 %) and outperformed both CNNs and a domain‑matched pretrained ViT, demonstrating strong species retrieval and open‑set detection capabilities.

Gaussian Meta-Space Augmentation for Stacking Ensembles in Multimodal IPMN Risk Stratification

arXiv:2608. 11472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal malignancies; risk stratification of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) offers a crucial opportunity for early intervention but typically requires invasive tissue biopsy.
