Fig. 2. YOLOv8 detection examples. (A) No detection: the pig is not in the centre of the image. (B) Pig detection rate of 0.89: acceptable image because the pig is in the centre of the image. (C) Pig and block detection: both the pig and the block are in the image. (D) Pig and block detection: both the pig and the block are in the image, but the pig is not in the centre of the image. (E) No detection: multiple pigs in the image. (F) Block detection rate of 0.63: Only block is detected. (G) Pig and block detection: the camera is positioned in the opposite direction. (H) Pig detection rate of 0.90: acceptable image because the pig is in the centre of the image but the camera is positioned in the opposite direction.
