A deep learning approach for deriving wheat phenology from near-surface RGB image series using spatiotemporal fusion.

Accurate monitoring of wheat phenological stages is essential for effective crop management and informed agricultural decision-making. Traditional methods often rely on labour-intensive field surveys, which are prone to subjective bias and limited temporal resolution. To address these challenges, this study explores the potential of near-surface cameras combined with an advanced deep-learning approach to derive wheat phenological stages from high-quality, real-time RGB image series.

A method for small-sized wheat seedlings detection: from annotation mode to model construction.

The number of seedlings is an important indicator that reflects the size of the wheat population during the seedling stage. Researchers increasingly use deep learning to detect and count wheat seedlings from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images. However, due to the small size and diverse postures of wheat seedlings, it can be challenging to estimate their numbers accurately during the seedling stage.

Small and Oriented Wheat Spike Detection at the Filling and Maturity Stages Based on WheatNet.

Accurate wheat spike detection is crucial in wheat field phenotyping for precision farming. Advances in artificial intelligence have enabled deep learning models to improve the accuracy of detecting wheat spikes. However, wheat growth is a dynamic process characterized by important changes in the color feature of wheat spikes and the background.

Improving multi-scale detection layers in the deep learning network for wheat spike detection based on interpretive analysis.

Background: Detecting and counting wheat spikes is essential for predicting and measuring wheat yield. However, current wheat spike detection researches often directly apply the new network structure. There are few studies that can combine the prior knowledge of wheat spike size characteristics to design a suitable wheat spike detection model.
