Directional Alignment Penalty: A Lightweight Localization Loss for Improved Bounding Box Regression in YOLOv8
Accurate localization of bounding boxes is a prerequisite for enabling vision-driven precision agriculture pipelines, as downstream tasks such as morphological feature extraction, growth monitoring, and digital-twin synchronization depend directly on the geometric quality of the detected boxes. Distance-IoU (DIoU) and...
