Root distribution in the soil determines plants’ nutrient and water uptake capacity. Therefore, root distribution is one of the most important factors in crop production. The trench profile method is used to observe the root distribution underground by making a rectangular hole close to the crop, providing informative images of the root distribution compared to other root phenotyping methods. However, much effort is required to segment the root area for quantification. In this study, we present a promising approach employing a convolutional neural network for root segmentation in trench profile images. We defined two parameters, Depth50 and Width50, representing the vertical and horizontal centroid of root distribution, respectively. Quantified parameters for root distribution in rice (Oryza sativa L.) predicted by the trained model were highly correlated with parameters calculated by manual tracing. These results indicated that this approach is useful for rapid quantification of the root distribution from the trench profile images. Using the trained model, we quantified the root distribution parameters among 60 rice accessions, revealing the phenotypic diversity of root distributions. We conclude that employing the trench profile method and a convolutional neural network is reliable for root phenotyping and it will furthermore facilitate the study of crop roots in the field.

Many research has been done on detecting the type of disease that affects the crops. Because of this the farmers use pesticides to reduce the loss of crop production, since they don’t know how much pesticides to spray or use, they tend to overuse them which eventually leads to further destruction of crops. For disease classification Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is being used which lets you know what kind of disease has affected the crop. In this paper we have worked on self attention networks to calculate the severity of the disease on the leaf . Self Attention Network introduced in the architecture lets the model learn the feature more efficiently and focus more on the affected region of the leaf. The model was trained and tested on the standard dataset (Plant Village) . The core processes comprises image capturing, image processing and testing on Self Attention Convolutional Neural Network architecture.. All of the key steps required to implement the model are detailed throughout the document.

<span>Kenaf plant is a fibre plant whose stem bark is taken to be used as raw material for making geo-textile, particleboard, pulp, fiber drain, fiber board, and paper. The presence of plant pests and diseases that attack causes crop production to decrease. The detection of pests and diseases by farmers may be a challenging task. The detection can be done using artificial intelligence-based method. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are one of the most popular neural network architectures and have been successfully implemented for image classification. However, the CNN method is still considered a long time in the process, so this method was developed into namely faster regional based convolution neural network (RCNN). As the selection of the input features largely determines the accuracy of the results, a pre-processing procedure is developed to transform the kenaf plant image into input features of faster RCNN. A computational experiment proves that the faster RCNN has a very short computation time by completing 10000 iterations in 3 hours compared to convolutional neural network (CNN) completing 100 iterations at the same time. Furthermore, Faster RCNN gets 77.50% detection accuracy and bounding box accuracy 96.74% while CNN gets 72.96% detection accuracy at 400 epochs. The results also prove that the selection of input features and its pre-processing procedure could produce a high accuracy of detection. </span>

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) yield and its quality are dependent of the status of the root system. Root distribution information is also valuable for soil and water management. An analysis of methods to evaluate the root distribution of grapevines for both, drip and microsprinkler irrigation in a Typic Acrustox is presented for the table grape cv. Italia grafted on the rootstock IAC-313, in northeastern Brazil. Measured root parameters using the monolith method were root dry weight (Dw) and root length density (Lv), while root area (Ap) was estimated using the soil profile method in combination with digital image analysis. For both irrigation systems, roots were present to the 1 m soil depth and extended laterally to 1 m distance from the trunk, but grapevines irrigated by microsprinkler showed greater root presence as the distance from the trunk increased. Values of Ap were reasonably well correlated to Dw and Lv. However, correlation values were higher when fractional root distribution was used. The soil profile method in combination with image analysis techniques, allows proper grapevine root distribution evaluation.

In this paper, we have done exploratory experiments using deep learning convolutional neural network framework to classify crops into cotton, sugarcane and mulberry. In this contribution we have used Earth Observing-1 hyperion hyperspectral remote sensing data as the input. Structured data has been extracted from hyperspectral data using a remote sensing tool. An analytical assessment shows that convolutional neural network (CNN) gives more accuracy over classical support vector machine (SVM) and random forest methods. It has been observed that accuracy of SVM is 75 %, accuracy of random forest classification is 78 % and accuracy of CNN using Adam optimizer is 99.3 % and loss is 2.74 %. CNN using RMSProp also gives the same accuracy 99.3 % and the loss is 4.43 %. This identified crop information will be used for finding crop production and for deciding market strategies

Agriculture crop demand is increasing day by day because of population. Crop production can be increased by removing weeds in the agriculture field. However, weed detection is a complicated problem in the agriculture field. The main objective of this paper is to improve the accuracy of weed detection by combining generative adversarial networks and convolutional neural networks. We have implemented deep learning models, namely Generative Adversarial Network and Deep Convolutional Neural Network (GAN-DCNN), AlexNet, VGG16, ResNet50, and Google Net perform the detection of the weed. A generative Adversarial Network generates the weed image, and Deep Convolutional Neural Network detects the weed in the image. GAN-DCNN method outperforms than existing weed detection method. Simulation results confirm that the proposed GAN-DCNN has improved performance with a maximum weed detection rate of 87.12 and 96.34 accuracies.

Image deconvolution has been an important issue recently. It has two kinds of approaches: non-blind and blind. Non-blind deconvolution is a classic problem of image deblurring, which assumes that the PSF is known and does not change universally in space. Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been used for non-blind deconvolution. Though CNNs can deal with complex changes for unknown images, some CNN-based conventional methods can only handle small PSFs and does not consider the use of large PSFs in the real world. In this paper we propose a non-blind deconvolution framework based on a CNN that can remove large scale ringing in a deblurred image. Our method has three key points. The first is that our network architecture is able to preserve both large and small features in the image. The second is that the training dataset is created to preserve the details. The third is that we extend the images to minimize the effects of large ringing on the image borders. In our experiments, we used three kinds of large PSFs and were able to observe high-precision results from our method both quantitatively and qualitatively.
