Cimiciato defect detection in hazelnuts: CNN models applied on X-ray images by Andrea Vitale, Matteo Giaccone, Antonio Gaetano Napolitano, Flavia de Benedetta, Laura Gargiulo, Giacomo Mele

“…Insect damages affect hazelnut quality, requiring post-harvest selection based on industrial quality standards which often exceed official regulations. Currently used methods for identifying insect damages (cimiciato) often rely on visual inspection, external imaging or require destructive testing.This study compared twelve different pretrained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures applied on hazelnut kernels X-ray radiographs for the automated detection of cimiciato defects.Through an extensive training and validation process, followed by testing on a separate dataset, InceptionV3 architecture showed the best overall balance across all performance metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, and precision, while Xception demonstrated superior specificity and the lowest false positive rate. …”
