Intrarow Uncut Weed Detection Using You-Only-Look-Once Instance Segmentation for Orchard Plantations
Mechanical weed management is a drudging task that requires manpower and has risks when conducted within rows of orchards. However, intrarow weeding must still be conducted by manual labor due to the restricted movements of riding mowers within the rows ...
