The weed-AI-seek project has the goal of developing an intelligent real-time monitoring and mapping system for the detection of weed distribution in cereal crops. For this purpose, high-resolution aerial image data will be acquired at low altitudes and classified directly on the drone using optimized onboard AI image recognition during the flight over the target crops. The planned system will not simply differentiate between crop plants and weeds, but will enable the exact identification of the plant species of each individual plant as well as its position on a crop site. Until now, it is indeed possible to determine a certain part of the information, e.g. the relation between the degree of coverage of crop plants and weed population, but a robust identification of individual weed species based on AI approaches has not yet been applied in practice. This enables spatially differentiated and timely information on competitive situations caused by weed spread in an area to be obtained, which enables the targeted adaptation of weed defense strategies and reduces the use of plant protection products (PPP).
