Abstract
The adoption of new technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), image processing, and machine learning, is disrupting traditional concepts in agriculture, with a new range of possibilities opening in its fields of research. Plant density is one of the most important corn (Zea mays L.) yield factors, yet its precise measurement after the emergence of plants is impractical in large-scale production fields due to the amount of labor required. This letter aims to develop techniques that enable corn plant counting and the automation of this process through deep learning and computational vision, using images of several corn crops obtained using a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform assembled with an RGB sensor.
期刊介绍：
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters (GRSL) is a monthly publication for short papers (maximum length 5 pages) addressing new ideas and formative concepts in remote sensing as well as important new and timely results and concepts. Papers should relate to the theory, concepts and techniques of science and engineering as applied to sensing the earth, oceans, atmosphere, and space, and the processing, interpretation, and dissemination of this information. The technical content of papers must be both new and significant. Experimental data must be complete and include sufficient description of experimental apparatus, methods, and relevant experimental conditions. GRSL encourages the incorporation of "extended objects" or "multimedia" such as animations to enhance the shorter papers.
