UAV-based weed detection in Chinese cabbage using deep learning

Weeds are unwanted plants on agricultural soil. They always competing for sunlight, nutrient, space and water with economic crops. Uncontrolled weed growth can cause both significant economic and ecological loss. Hence, weeds should be efficiently differentiated from the crops for the smart spraying...
