- Abstract: Currently, weed control in a corn field is performed by a blanket application
of herbicides that do not consider spatial distribution information of weeds
and also uses an extensive amount of chemical herbicides. To reduce the amount
of chemicals, we used drone-based high-resolution imagery and computer-vision
techniques to perform site-specific weed control in corn.

Plant counting is essential in every stage of agriculture, including seed breeding, germination, cultivation, fertilization, pollination yield estimation, and harvesting.
Inspired by the fact that humans count objects in high-resolution images by sequential scanning, we explore the potential of handling plant counting tasks via state space models (SSMs) for generating counting results.
We propose a new counting approach named CountMamba that constructs multiple counting experts to scan from various directions simultaneously.

Invasive plant species are detrimental to ecology of both agricultural and wildland areas.
Invasive plant species such as Euphorbia esula, or leafy spurge, have spread through much of North America from Eastern Europe.
We gathered a dataset of leafy spurge presence and absence in grasslands of western Montana, USA, then surveyed these areas with a commercial drone.
We trained image classifiers on these data, and our best performing model, a pre-trained DINOv2 vision transformer, identified leafy spurge with 0.84 accuracy.

Currently, weed control in commercial corn production is performed without considering weed distribution information in the field.
The objective of this study was to perform site-specific weed control (SSWC) in a corn field by 1) using an unmanned aerial system (UAS) to map the spatial distribution information of weeds in the field.
Using our SSWC approach, we were able to save 26.23% of the land (1.97 acres) from being sprayed with chemical herbicides compared to the existing method.

Monitoring vegetation productivity at extremely fine resolutions is valuable for real-world agricultural applications.
We propose Coarsely-Supervised Smooth U-Net (CS-SUNet), a novel method for this coarse supervision setting.
Experiments show that CS-SUNet resolves fine-grained variations in SIF more accurately than existing methods.
