Abstract/Contents: | "Precise application technologies have the capacity to drastically diminish herbicide inputs, thereby reduce their environmental burden. A key to the success using such systems requires the best possible performance of all its components including the machine vision (MV) based weed detection and spraying sections. This study assessed 1) the performance of spotted spurge [Chamaesyce maculata (L.) Small] recognition in 'Latitude 36' bermudagrass (Cynodon Rich.) turf canopy using You Only Look Once (YOLO) real-time multi-object detection algorithm, and 2) the impact of various nozzle densities on the model efficiency and projected herbicide savings under simulated conditions. The YOLO model was trained with a dataset of 710 images and evaluated on a dataset of 581 testing images. The simulation design consisted of 4 grid matrix regimes (3 Œ 3, 6 Œ 6, 12 Œ 12, and 24 Œ 24) demonstrating respectively: 3, 6, 12, and 24 non-overlapping nozzles with the same specifications, producing a perfect spray pattern, and equally distributed on the spraying boom to cover a total of 50 cm bandwidth within the same time interval. Simulated efficiency testing was conducted using 50 images containing predictions (labels) generated with newly trained YOLO model, by applying each of grid matrixes to individual images and manually collecting efficacy data. Our model resulted in exquisite accuracy. When subjected to simulation, the lowest nozzle density (3-nozzle scenario) resulted in the largest application area (41%) required to ensure herbicide deposition to all weeds detected within images, thus providing the lowest probable savings. As presumed, the least area required for satisfactory target weed coverage (13%), thereby greatest predicted herbicide use efficiency, was achieved with the highest simulated nozzle density (24-nozzle scenario). However, it was not different when compared to 12-nozzle scenario (18% area under simulated herbicide application). Considering various economic and logistic factors, the optimal savings would occur by increasing nozzle density from standard 1 covering 50-cm band to 12 assuming each individual nozzle covers approx. 5-cm band." |
