Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosed technologies are capable of inputting, to a machine-learned classifier that has been created using a set of neural network-based models, multi-band digital image data that represents an aerial view of an agricultural field location containing an horticultural product; outputting, by the classifier, annotated image data, the annotated image data comprising annotation data indicative of individual instances of the horticultural product in the agricultural field location; using the annotated image data, computing a first predicted yield for the agricultural field location; adjusting the first predicted yield by a scaling factor to produce a second predicted yield for the agricultural field location.
