Black-Grass Detection Project

The Lincoln Institute for food Agri-Technology ‘s Autonomous Black-grass Detection project aims to use deep learning to detect black-grass in cereal crops. Deep learning systems require large training image datasets. So we are collecting a large number of images of black-grass in cereal fields (pedestrian, low-impact image collection). We...

Festive fun – Poinsettia photo collection

Robotics Researchers at the University of Lincoln are hosting a machine learning and computer vision competition to devise intelligent ways to find the “best” poinsettia. We will be looking at the height of the plant, colour of the leaves, and “bushiness” among other attributes. This work will contribute towards...
