Advancing precision agriculture with computer vision: A comparative study of YOLO models for weed and crop recognition

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this study, we investigated the application of three convolutional neural network models YOLOv5, YOLOR, and YOLOv7 for precisely detecting individual radish plants, radish rows, and weeds. A comprehensive dataset was created, capturing diverse conditions and annotated for three target classes: radish, radish-line, and weed. Through extensive experimentation involving 39 combinations of model types, batch sizes (2, 4, 8), and learning rates (0.1, 0.01, 0.001), we determined that the YOLOv5-x model with a batch size of 4 and a learning rate of 0.01 offers superior performance. This configuration achieved a remarkable 99% accuracy for the radish class, 98% for radish-line, and 91% for weed, as confirmed by confusion matrices. Further analysis using the F1-score, Precision-Recall (PR) curves, and training progress plots underscored the model&apos;s robustness, particularly its high mAP_0.5:0.95 score. Despite the Weed class posing greater detection challenges, likely due to its lower representation in the dataset, the YOLOv5-x outperformed YOLOR-D6 and YOLOv7-D6 in critical metrics after 300 epochs. This research not only highlights the efficacy of YOLOv5-x in agricultural applications but also suggests potential enhancements in data annotation and model training strategies to further improve weed detection. Our findings provide significant insights for developing automated, high-precision plant-weed detection systems, contributing to more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices.
