Abstract

In order to improve early emergence stages discrimination of plants, an early emergence app is proposed based on a neural network optionally with ‘attention’ mechanisms, which detects the number of plants that opened after sowing and are present in the field. This way the farmer can easily determine, if crop density targets are met at an early stage after sowing and optionally receive recommendations on catch crop.
