UAV-Based Automatic Detection of Missing Rice Seedlings Using the PCERT-DETR Model [PDF]

Plants
Due to the limitations of the sowing machine performance and rice seed germination rates, missing seedlings inevitably occur after rice is sown in large fields. This phenomenon has a direct impact on the rice yield. In the field environment, the existing
