Özet
Hazelnut is a shrubby plant well-suited to the temperate and humid climate of the Black Sea region, particularly known for its mild winters. Turkey plays a critical role in global hazelnut production. Hazelnuts are not only an essential agricultural product for the country’s economy but are also highly valued for their nutritional content, being particularly rich in healthy oils and proteins, and their associated health benefits. The classification of different hazelnut species using modern deep learning techniques aimed to automatically distinguish between eight commonly cultivated hazelnut types: caklidak, damat, devedisi, sivri, karafindik, palaz, tombul, and yagli. This study employed both YOLOv8 classification models and Vision Transformer (ViT) with fine-tuning to classify a dataset comprising 2,722 labeled images of these hazelnut types. Various configurations of YOLOv8 models were tested, specifically YOLOv8n-cls …
