Deep learning techniques involving image processing and data analysis are
constantly evolving. Many domains adapt these techniques for object
segmentation, instantiation and classification. Recently, agricultural
industries adopted those techniques in order to bring automation to farmers
around the globe. One analysis procedure required for automatic visual
inspection in this domain is leaf count and segmentation. Collecting labeled
data from field crops and greenhouses is a complicated task due to the large
variety of crops, growth seasons, climate changes, phenotype diversity, and
more, especially when specific learning tasks require a large amount of labeled
data for training. Data augmentation for training deep neural networks is well
established, examples include data synthesis, using generative semi-synthetic
models, and applying various kinds of transformations. In this paper we propose
a method that preserves the geometric structure of the data objects, thus
keeping the physical appearance of the data-set as close as possible to imaged
plants in real agricultural scenes. The proposed method provides state of the
art results when applied to the standard benchmark in the field, namely, the
ongoing Leaf Segmentation Challenge hosted by Computer Vision Problems in Plant
Phenotyping.

Data Augmentation for Leaf Segmentation and Counting Tasks in Rosette  Plants

In many agricultural applications one wants to characterize physical
properties of plants and use the measurements to predict, for example biomass
and environmental influence. This process is known as phenotyping. Traditional
collection of phenotypic information is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Use
of imagery is becoming popular for phenotyping. In this paper, we present
methods to estimate traits of sorghum plants from RBG cameras on board of an
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The position and orientation of the imagery
together with the coordinates of sparse points along the area of interest are
derived through a new triangulation method. A rectified orthophoto mosaic is
then generated from the imagery. The number of leaves is estimated and a
model-based method to analyze the leaf morphology for leaf segmentation is
proposed. We present a statistical model to find the location of each
individual sorghum plant.
