Robotic weed control has seen increased research of late with its potential for boosting productivity in agriculture. Majority of works focus on developing robotics for croplands, ignoring the weed management problems facing rangeland stock…
Wood is a volumetric material with a very large appearance gamut that is further enlarged by numerous finishing techniques. Computer graphics has made considerable progress in creating sophisticated and flexible appearance models that allow…
Existing image classification datasets used in computer vision tend to have a uniform distribution of images across object categories. In contrast, the natural world is heavily imbalanced, as some species are more abundant and easier to…
Accurate identification of wood species plays a critical role in ecological monitoring, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable forest management. Traditional classification approaches relying on macroscopic and microscopic inspection…
In this paper, we employ Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) with image and data processing techniques to implement a general purpose automated leaf recognition algorithm. 12 leaf features are extracted and orthogonalized into 5 principal…
Manual determination of plant phenotypic properties such as plant architecture, growth, and health is very time consuming and sometimes destructive. Automatic image analysis has become a popular approach. This research aims to identify the…
Protecting and restoring forest ecosystems is critical for biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration. Forest monitoring on a global scale is essential for prioritizing and assessing conservation efforts. Satellite-based remote…
Datasets (semi-)automatically collected from the web can easily scale to millions of entries, but a dataset's usefulness is directly related to how clean and high-quality its examples are. In this paper, we describe and publicly release an…
