• Abstract summary: We propose a method that generates agricultural images from a synthetic 3D crop model domain into real world crop domains. The method uses a semantically constrained GAN (generative adversarial network) to preserve the fruit position and geometry. Incremental training experiments in vineyard grape detection tasks show that the images generated from our method can significantly speed the domain process.

• Abstract: Training real-world neural network models to achieve high performance and generalizability typically requires a substantial amount of labeled data, spanning a broad range of variation. This data-labeling process can be both labor and cost intensive. To achieve desirable predictive performance, a trained model is typically applied into a domain where the data distribution is similar to the training dataset. However, for many agricultural machine learning problems, training datasets are collected at a specific location, during a specific period in time of the growing season. Since agricultural systems exhibit substantial variability in terms of crop type, cultivar, management, seasonal growth dynamics, lighting condition, sensor type, etc, a model trained from one dataset often does not generalize well across domains. To enable more data efficient and generalizable neural network models in agriculture, we propose a method that generates photorealistic agricultural images from a synthetic 3D crop model domain into real world crop domains. The method uses a semantically constrained GAN (generative adversarial network) to preserve the fruit position and geometry. We observe that a baseline CycleGAN method generates visually realistic target domain images but does not preserve fruit position information while our method maintains fruit positions well. Image generation results in vineyard grape day and night images show the visual outputs of our network are much better compared to a baseline network. Incremental training experiments in vineyard grape detection tasks show that the images generated from our method can significantly speed the domain adaption process, increase performance for a given number of labeled images (i.e. data efficiency), and decrease labeling requirements.

  We propose a framework for synthesizing classification datasets that more faithfully represents the real data distribution. DataDream fine-tunes LoRA weights for the image generation model on the few real images before generating the training data using the adapted model. We then fine-tune LoRA weights for CLIP using the synthetic data to improve downstream image classification over previous approaches on a large variety of datasets.

  Recent advancements in text-to-image generation have inspired researchers to generate datasets tailored for perception models using generative models.

  ALIA (Automated Language-guided Image Augmentation) is a method which utilizes large vision and language models to automatically generate natural language descriptions of a dataset's domains. To maintain data integrity, a model trained on the original dataset filters out minimal image edits and those which corrupt class-relevant information. We show that ALIA is able to surpasses traditional data augmentation and text-to-image generated data on fine-grained classification tasks.

We also use our synthetic multi-plant images to train several YoloV5 nano object detection models to perform the task of plant detection.
