Devices and methods for identifying crops and weeds by learning neural networks

摘要

The present invention relates to a technique for distinguishing between crops and weeds, which comprises the steps of: recognizing all plants between rows as weeds by recognizing a row of crops using a convolutional encoder-decoder (CED) neural network learning technique; and distinguishing weeds from crops by using an additional CED neural network with respect to a small number of weeds present on a crop row.
