Coffee Flower Identification Using Binarization Algorithm Based on Convolutional Neural Network for Digital Images.

ABSTRACT: Crop-type identification is one of the most significant applications of agricultural remote sensing, and it is important for yield estimation prediction and field management. At present, crop identification using datasets from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite platforms have achieved state-of-the-art performances. However, accurate monitoring of small plants, such as the coffee flower, cannot be achieved using datasets from these platforms. With the development of time-lapse image acquisition technology based on ground-based remote sensing, a large number of small-scale plantation datasets with high spatial-temporal resolution are being generated, which can provide great opportunities for small target monitoring of a specific region. The main contribution of this paper is to combine the binarization algorithm based on OTSU and the convolutional neural network (CNN) model to improve coffee flower identification accuracy using the time-lapse images (i.e., digital images). A certain number of positive and negative samples are selected from the original digital images for the network model training. Then, the pretrained network model is initialized using the VGGNet and trained using the constructed training datasets. Based on the well-trained CNN model, the coffee flower is initially extracted, and its boundary information can be further optimized by using the extracted coffee flower result of the binarization algorithm. Based on the digital images with different depression angles and illumination conditions, the performance of the proposed method is investigated by comparison of the performances of support vector machine (SVM) and CNN model. Hence, the experimental results show that the proposed method has the ability to improve coffee flower classification accuracy. The results of the image with a 52.5° angle of depression under soft lighting conditions are the highest, and the corresponding Dice (F1) and intersection over union (IoU) have reached 0.80 and 0.67, respectively.

Project description:Changes in insect biomass, abundance, and diversity are challenging to track at sufficient spatial, temporal, and taxonomic resolution. Camera traps can capture habitus images of ground-dwelling insects. However, currently sampling involves manually detecting and identifying specimens. Here, we test whether a convolutional neural network (CNN) can classify habitus images of ground beetles to species level, and estimate how correct classification relates to body size, number of species inside genera, and species identity.We created an image database of 65,841 museum specimens comprising 361 carabid beetle species from the British Isles and fine-tuned the parameters of a pretrained CNN from a training dataset. By summing up class confidence values within genus, tribe, and subfamily and setting a confidence threshold, we trade-off between classification accuracy, precision, and recall and taxonomic resolution.The CNN classified 51.9% of 19,164 test images correctly to species level and 74.9% to genus level. Average classification recall on species level was 50.7%. Applying a threshold of 0.5 increased the average classification recall to 74.6% at the expense of taxonomic resolution. Higher top value from the output layer and larger sized species were more often classified correctly, as were images of species in genera with few species.Fine-tuning enabled us to classify images with a high mean recall for the whole test dataset to species or higher taxonomic levels, however, with high variability. This indicates that some species are more difficult to identify because of properties such as their body size or the number of related species.Together, species-level image classification of arthropods from museum collections and ecological monitoring can substantially increase the amount of occurrence data that can feasibly be collected. These tools thus provide new opportunities in understanding and predicting ecological responses to environmental change.
