Algorithm for Locating Apical Meristematic Tissue of Weeds Based on YOLO Instance Segmentation

Agronomy
Laser technology can be used to control weeds by irradiating the apical meristematic tissue (AMT) of weeds when they are still seedlings. Two factors are necessary for the successful large-scale implementation of this technique: the ability to accurately
