New Paper: Deep learning-based early weed segmentation using motion blurred UAV images of sorghum fields

New paper about “Deep learning-based early weed segmentation using motion blurred UAV images of sorghum fields”. In this work, we developed and analysed different deep learning-based architectures to accurately segment crop and weed species in UAV images of agricultural fields under challenging capturing conditions. For this propose, we created an expert-curated fully-annotated weed segmentation UAV dataset in sorghum fields. We show that our trained models have high precision in detecting general plant shapes with minor weaknesses at borders of the plants. More importantly, our method is capable in segmenting intra-row and partly occluded weeds on an individual plant basis. All code and data are publicly available on GitHub and Mendeley Data.
