• Abstract: The traditional paradigm of applying deep learning -- collect, annotate and train on data -- is not applicable to image-based plant phenotyping as almost 400,000 different plant species exists. Data costs include growing physical samples, imaging and labelling them. Model performance is impacted by the species gap between the domain of each plant species, it is not generalisable and may not transfer to unseen plant species. In this paper, we investigate the use of synthetic data for leaf instance segmentation. We study multiple synthetic data training regimes using Mask-RCNN when few or no annotated real data is available. We also present UPGen: a Universal Plant Generator for bridging the species gap. UPGen leverages domain randomisation to produce widely distributed data samples and models stochastic biological variation. Our methods outperform standard practices, such as transfer learning from publicly available plant data, by 26.6% and 51.46% on two unseen plant species respectively. We benchmark UPGen by competing in the CVPPP Leaf Segmentation Challenge and set a new state-of-the-art, a mean of 88% across A1-4 test datasets. This study is applicable to use of synthetic data for automating the measurement of phenotypic traits. Our synthetic dataset and pretrained model are available at https://csiro-robotics.github.io/UPGen_Webpage/.

  This paper proposes a new classification-oriented framework DreamDA. DreamDA generates diverse samples that adhere to the original data distribution by considering training images in the original data as seeds. In addition, since the labels of the generated data may not align with the labels of their corresponding seed images, we introduce a self-training paradigm for generating pseudo labels.

  Diffusion models trained on real-world datasets often yield inferior fidelity for tail classes. Deep generative models, including diffusion models, are biased towards classes with abundant training images. We propose a method based on contrastive learning to minimize the overlap between distributions of synthetic images for different classes.

  Given a set of locations where a species has been observed, the goal is to build a model to predict whether the species is present or absent at any location. Traditional methods struggle to take advantage of emerging large-scale crowdsourced datasets. We use Spatial Implicit Neural Representations (SINRs) to jointly estimate the geographical range of 47k species simultaneously.

  We employ a contrastive unpaired translation (CUT) generative adversarial network (GAN) to translate indoor plant images to appear as field images. While we train our network to translate an image containing only a single plant, we show that our method is easily extendable to produce multiple-plant field images. We also use our synthetic multi-plant images to train several YoloV5 nano object detection models to perform the task of plant detection.

  Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) is the task of leveraging semantic information (e.g., attributes) to recognize the seen and unseen samples, where unseen classes are not observable during training. We propose a novel Generation Shifts Mitigating Flow framework for learning unseen data synthesis efficiently and effectively. Experimental results demonstrate that GSMFlow achieves state-of-the-art recognition performance in both conventional and generalized zero-shot settings.
