Description

Ayalde and a large team train AI models to grade spoilage in stored cassava roots from photos in twenty twenty-four. Cassava roots decay fast after harvest, which costs farmers and processors dearly. Scoring the decay by eye is slow and hard to keep uniform. Their system sorts phone or camera images by level of decay.

Several top image models were tried, and one led on overall scoring. A second model was best at spotting sound roots but trained unevenly. Extra steps that cut out off color zones shrank scoring error a lot. The tools let breeders screen roots fast and pick lines that resist decay. That supports food security where cassava is a staple.
