Weed Identification in Maize, Sunflower, and Potatoes with the Aid of Convolutional Neural Networks

The increasing public concern about food security and the stricter rules applied worldwide concerning herbicide use in the agri-food chain, reduce consumer acceptance of chemical plant protection. Site-Specific Weed Management can be achieved by applying a treatment only on the weed patches. Crop pl...

Crop plants and weeds identification is a necessary component for various aspects of precision farming in order to perform on the spot herbicide spraying or robotic weeding and precision mechanical weed control.

The training images consisted of images with plant material with only one species per image.
