摘要

Manual maturity assessment in greenhouses is labor-intensive and increasingly constrained by labor shortages, limiting timely harvest and quality control. To address this challenge, this study proposes an original approach for real-time monitoring the growth and maturity degree of mini tomatoes in complex greenhouse environments. The proposed framework combines visual features by YOLOv8-based segmentation and skeleton and environmental features for maturity estimation. This approach also employs CIELAB color space and HUE angle with an \(L*\) L threshold filter against the variable lightness situation and occlusion in the greenhouse. The segmentation and skeleton models achieved reliable performance of mask mAP of 80.3% and skeleton precision of 97%. This enables the accurate mini tomato fruit detection and cluster structure analysis. The employed \(L*\) L filter improved color level estimation accuracy from 83 to 95%. Especially, the harvest-ready stage increases from 64 to 94%. Additionally, a linear regression model confirmed the relationship between HUE angle and cumulative temperature. These results show that the proposed system can support efficient, data-driven monitoring of mini tomato growth stages.
