Seeding precision: a mask region based convolutional neural networks classification approach for the classification of paddy seeds

Abstrak

The generation of sufficient training data that is accurately labelled for a deep neural network involves a significant amount of effort and frequently constitutes a bottleneck in the implementation process. For the purpose of this research, we are training a neural network model to perform instance segmentation and classification of crop seeds for various rice cultivars. Synthetically constructed dataset is used here. The concept of domain randomization, which offers a productive alternative to the laborious process of data annotation, serves as the basis for our methodology. We make use of the domain randomization technique in order to produce synthetic data, and the mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) architecture is utilized in order to train our neural network models. A cultivar name is used to designate the seeds, and they are differentiated from one another using colors that are comparable to those used in the actual dataset of paddy cultivars. Our mission focuses on the identification and categorization of rice paddy varieties within automatically generated photographs. Farmers are able to accurately sort crop seeds from a variety of rice cultivars with the use of this approach, which is particularly useful for phenotyping and optimizing yields in laboratory settings.
