| Opis: | Potato sorting in post-harvest processing relies heavily on manual visual inspection, which is physically demanding, subjective, and insufficiently scalable for modern packing lines. This study investigates the feasibility of a low-cost RGB-based optical inspection system for automated potato quality detection using deep learning-based object detection. A controlled imaging platform was constructed using commodity hardware, and a dataset of 19,805 manually annotated instances across 1361 images was collected from two geographically distinct farm locations in Slovenia. A systematic benchmark of 25 model configurations spanning five YOLO architecture families—YOLOv8, YOLOv9, YOLOv10, YOLOv11, and YOLO26—was conducted across three practical quality classes (Edible, Feed, Rotten) using a strict cross-location evaluation protocol in which models were trained on one location and tested on a completely unseen second location. All models achieved strong in-distribution performance (F1 ≥ 0.906), but showed considerable variation under cross-location conditions, with external F1 ranging from 0.792 to 0.918. The yolo26_l configuration achieved the best cross-location performance (F1 = 0.918, mAP@0.5:0.95 = 0.816, ΔF1 = 0.029), demonstrating that transferable representations are achievable under a standard supervised training protocol. Per-class analysis identified feed detection as the primary generalization bottleneck. The results confirm that affordable RGB-based sorting systems are technically feasible and highlight cross-location evaluation as an essential protocol for assessing real-world deployment readiness. |
