Using drones to detect and quantify wild pig damage and yield loss in corn fields throughout plant growth stages

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 47, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
We present a method to give producers the means to conduct economic cost‐benefit analyses of wild pig damage to agriculture using drone technology, harvest yield data, and custom deep learning algorithm workflows. Our results show the spatial and temporal pattern of wild pig damage to corn, causing losses to agricultural income at the field scale ...

Recognition of Latin scientific names using artificial neural networks

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Premise The automated recognition of Latin scientific names within vernacular text has many applications, including text mining, search indexing, and automated specimen‐label processing. Most published solutions are computationally inefficient, incapable of running within a web browser, and focus on texts in English, thus omitting a substantial portion
