Adapting a UAV-Based Weed Detection Method (SWIM) for a Tractor-Mounted Optical Sensor

Site-specific weed management can reduce herbicide use and improve the sustainability of crop production, but its adoption remains constrained by the complexity and costs of many sensing technologies. Integrating weed detection algorithms into optical sensing systems already used for precision agriculture may represent...

What Improves UAV RGB Segmentation of Maize and Weeds? An Ablation Study of U-Net Components

The use of RGB images acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is increasingly common in precision agriculture, for monitoring crops, weeds, and field conditions. However, large variations in plant size, illumination, shadows, and background appearance make automatic segmentation difficult. A major challenge is disc...
