Yanben Shen, Timilehin T. Ayanlade, Venkata Naresh Boddepalli +13
Early weed identification is crucial for effective management and control, and researchers, agronomists, and technology developers are increasingly interested in automating this pr…
BioTrove: A Large Curated Image Dataset Enabling AI for Biodiversity
Chih-Hsuan Yang, Benjamin Feuer, Zaki Jubery +12
We introduce BioTrove, the largest publicly accessible dataset designed to advance AI applications in biodiversity. Curated from the iNaturalist platform and vetted to include only…
Soybean Maturity Prediction using 2D Contour Plots from Drone based Time Series Imagery
Bitgoeul Kim, Samuel W. Blair, Talukder Z. Jubery +4
Plant breeding programs require assessments of days to maturity for accurate selection and placement of entries in appropriate tests. In the early stages of the breeding pipeline,…
Robust soybean seed yield estimation using high-throughput ground robot videos
Jiale Feng, Samuel W. Blair, Timilehin Ayanlade +5
We present a novel method for soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yield estimation leveraging high throughput seed counting via computer vision and deep learning techniques. Tradition…
Class-specific Data Augmentation for Plant Stress Classification
Nasla Saleem, Aditya Balu, Talukder Zaki Jubery +4
Data augmentation is a powerful tool for improving deep learning-based image classifiers for plant stress identification and classification. However, selecting an effective set of…
