Best-View Pedicel Localization with YOLO-DSC for Calyx-Preserving Robotic Harvesting of Cherry Tomatoes

Robotic harvesting of cherry tomatoes remains challenging due to dense foliage, asynchronous ripening, and the strict market requirement for calyx-preserving cuts. The calyx frequently occludes the pedicel, making precise localization indispensable. In 640 × 480 images, pedicels span only 7–32 pixel…
