Automatic detection of oil palm tree from UAV images based on the deep learning method

Palm oil is a major contributor to Malaysia’s GDP in the agriculture sector. The sheer vastness of oil palm plantations requires a huge effort to administer. An oil palm plantation in regards to the irrigation process, fertilization, and planning for planting new trees require an audit process to co...
