Methods
Crop and weed classification can be accomplished by analyzing an image with the use of Machine Learning. Supervised Machine Learning makes use of data (for example: an image) and an annotation file (an image of the same size, with colours demarcating the area that belongs to a certain class). Therefore, the basis of this project is the availability of data.
Data
Two publicly available datasets are used: Crop/Weed Field Image Dataset (CWFID) and Sugar Beets 2016 (SB2016).
Results
With the modified code, both the CWFID and SB2016 datasets were analysed. For SB2016, a comparison was made with the paper by Milioto, Lottes and Stachniss. The comparison is shown in the image on the right, where the baseline classifiers RFC and SVM perform better than the SegNet architecture of Milioto, Lottes and Stachniss on the crop, but worse on the weed and comparable on the soil.
