In the era of precision agriculture, one of the biggest hurdles for AI-driven systems is accurately distinguishing weeds from cropsโespecially in structured row farming environments. It’s a critical task, but far from simple.
๐น Here are some of the key challenges:
โ Visual Similarity โ In early growth stages, weeds and crops often appear nearly identical, confusing even the most advanced AI models.
โ Occlusion Issues โ Weeds frequently grow beneath crop canopies, making them harder to detect from aerial or ground-based imagery.
โ Lighting Variability โ Natural conditions like shadowing, sunlight glare, or cloud cover impact the consistency of image quality.
โ Growth Stage Variability โ Crops and weeds mature at different rates, complicating temporal pattern recognition.
โ Overlapping Plants โ Dense, interwoven vegetation blurs boundaries and presents difficulties in precise segmentation.
