Panoptic One-Click Segmentation: Applied to Agricultural Data

no code implementations15 Mar 2023 Patrick Zimmer, Michael Halstead, Chris McCool

In weed control, precision agriculture can help to greatly reduce the use of herbicides, resulting in both economical and ecological benefits.

Towards Autonomous Crop-Agnostic Visual Navigation in Arable Fields

1 code implementation24 Sep 2021 Alireza Ahmadi, Michael Halstead, Chris McCool

Autonomous navigation of a robot in agricultural fields is essential for every task from crop monitoring to weed management and fertilizer application.

Virtual Temporal Samples for Recurrent Neural Networks: applied to semantic segmentation in agriculture

no code implementations18 Jun 2021 Alireza Ahmadi, Michael Halstead, Chris McCool

By generating virtual temporal samples, we demonstrate that it is possible to train a lightweight RNN to perform semantic segmentation on two challenging agricultural datasets.

A Rapidly Deployable Classification System using Visual Data for the Application of Precision Weed Management

no code implementations25 Jan 2018 David Hall, Feras Dayoub, Tristan Perez, Chris McCool

In this work, we obviate this assumption and introduce a rapidly deployable approach able to operate on any field without any weed species assumptions prior to deployment.

Towards Unsupervised Weed Scouting for Agricultural Robotics

no code implementations4 Feb 2017 David Hall, Feras Dayoub, Jason Kulk, Chris McCool

This greatly limits deployability as classification systems must be retrained for any field with a different set of weed species present within them.

Peduncle Detection of Sweet Pepper for Autonomous Crop Harvesting - Combined Colour and 3D Information

no code implementations30 Jan 2017 Inkyu Sa, Chris Lehnert, Andrew English, Chris McCool, Feras Dayoub, Ben Upcroft, Tristan Perez

This paper presents a 3D visual detection method for the challenging task of detecting peduncles of sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum) in the field.

Exploiting Temporal Information for DCNN-based Fine-Grained Object Classification

no code implementations1 Aug 2016 ZongYuan Ge, Chris McCool, Conrad Sanderson, Peng Wang, Lingqiao Liu, Ian Reid, Peter Corke

Fine-grained classification is a relatively new field that has concentrated on using information from a single image, while ignoring the enormous potential of using video data to improve classification.

Joint Recognition and Segmentation of Actions via Probabilistic Integration of Spatio-Temporal Fisher Vectors

no code implementations4 Feb 2016 Johanna Carvajal, Chris McCool, Brian Lovell, Conrad Sanderson

The final classification decision for each frame is then obtained by integrating the class probabilities at the frame level, which exploits the overlapping of the temporal windows.

Multi-Action Recognition via Stochastic Modelling of Optical Flow and Gradients

no code implementations6 Feb 2015 Johanna Carvajal, Conrad Sanderson, Chris McCool, Brian C. Lovell

In this paper we propose a novel approach to multi-action recognition that performs joint segmentation and classification.

Bags of Affine Subspaces for Robust Object Tracking

no code implementations11 Aug 2014 Sareh Shirazi, Conrad Sanderson, Chris McCool, Mehrtash T. Harandi

We propose an adaptive tracking algorithm where the object is modelled as a continuously updated bag of affine subspaces, with each subspace constructed from the object's appearance over several consecutive frames.

Summarisation of Short-Term and Long-Term Videos using Texture and Colour

no code implementations3 Mar 2014 Johanna Carvajal, Chris McCool, Conrad Sanderson

We present a novel approach to video summarisation that makes use of a Bag-of-visual-Textures (BoT) approach.
