This study introduces İstifTakip, a web-based information system developed for the automated detection and measurement of stacked timber logs using the YOLOv8 deep learning model. The system aims to overcome the limitations of manual timber measurement methods by providing a more accurate and efficient alternative. Data were collected through smartphone images of timber stacks at the Ulucak Forest Depot in İzmir, Türkiye. The YOLOv8 model, optimized using the Optuna library, was trained on this dataset to detect logs and calculate key attributes such as diameter and volume. Hyperparameter optimization with Optuna resulted in a significant improvement in model performance, achieving an [email protected] score of 0.8569, precision of 0.8513, and recall of 0.8827. These results demonstrate the model’s robustness and accuracy in detecting logs across varied image conditions. İstifTakip was developed using the Django framework and offers a user-friendly interface where users can upload images, annotate reference lines, and obtain log measurements. The system is specifically designed for Turkish forestry, supporting local language and practices, which sets it apart from other global solutions. Its scalability and potential for integration with mobile devices make it a valuable tool for future forestry applications. This research highlights the advantages of combining deep learning and smart forestry technologies to enhance operational efficiency and data accuracy in timber stack management.
