Abstract [en]

This study addresses the issue of black-grass, a herbicide-resistant weed that threatens wheat yields in Western Europe, through the use of high- resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and synthetic data augmentation in precision agriculture. We mitigate challenges such as the need for large labeled datasets and environmental variability by employing synthetic data augmentations in training a Mask R-CNN model. Using a minimal dataset of 43 black-grass and 12 wheat field images, we achieved a 37% increase in Area Under the Curve (AUC) over the non-augmented baseline, with scaling as the most effective augmentation. The best model attained a recall of 53% at a precision of 64%, offering a promising approach for future precision agriculture applications. © NLDL 2024. All rights reserved.
