Consistency of crop establishment is a measure of uniformity of crop attributes, such as plant stand count, crop emergence rate, and plant spacing across the field. Quantifying consistency during the early crop growth stage is important for establishment decisions to use targeted nutrients and to facilitate timely replanting in inconsistent crop regions. Crop consistency can be analysed using two key parameters: plant stand count and spacing statistics since they provide insight into plant density and its emergence percentage. However, manual assessment of them is time-consuming, prone to errors, and labour-intensive in large fields. An alternative method is proposed to automate estimating these parameters using field imagery under uncontrolled settings. We use the YOLOv5-based object detection model for plant counting, which attains a mean average precision of 0.956 to detect Canola plants. A Lightweight U -Net model is proposed to segment rows, followed by Guo-Hall thinning and Probabilistic Hough Transform to determine inter -row and inter -plant spacing. Our proposed row segmentation model achieves a mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 0.8444 with class -wise IoU of 0.9925 and 0.6963 for background and crop using fewer parameters. The new architecture uses only 14M parameters and achieves performance comparable to the state-of-the-art U -Net (32.5M) and SegNet (29M).

Lane detection technology plays a pivotal role in enabling autonomous navigation in vehicles. However, existing systems primarily cater to well-structured roads with clear lane markings, rendering them ineffective in scenarios where markings are unclear or absent. This study critically evaluates an existing approach for detecting lanes on unmarked roads, followed by the proposal of an enhanced methodology. Both approaches leverage digital imageprocessing techniques and rely solely on vision or camera data. The primary objective is to derive real-time curvature values to facilitate driver-assistance systems in making necessary turns and preventing vehicles from veering off-road.

Computer vision plays a vital role in automating environmental analysis by enabling real-time object detection and classification in diverse conditions. Litter pollution poses significant health and environmental risks due to inefficient disposal, and manual oversight is labor intensive. Effective litter detection is crucial for large-scale environmental monitoring. However, existing models face challenges such as the complexity of detecting shadowy objects in varying lighting conditions (e.g., during rain or under sun rays), difficulty in recognizing small objects, low accuracy, and poor real-time performance. Existing two-stage detectors, such as Faster R-CNN, also struggle with these issues. This paper introduces an automated deeplearning-based imageprocessing approach for accurate litter detection across different locations, using an enhanced version of YOLOv9s called LD-YOLOv9s. Key improvements in this novel approach include replacing convolutional layers with DynConvLayer in the backbone, integrating an SDConv-ADown module to substitute down-sampling layers in the neck, and using MPD-IoU instead of CIoU. These modifications reduce the chances of overlooking small objects, such as caps or lids, which had the least class meaning in the dataset, achieving a mAP of 78.3% with an inference time of 6.7ms. A significant contribution of this work is the LD-2024 dataset, curated from indoor and outdoor environments with manually annotated images. Performance comparisons were made with several YOLO versions (YOLOv3, YOLOv5, YOLOv6, YOLOv7, YOLOv8, YOLOv9 variants) and traditional object detectors (Faster R-CNN, Center Net, Retina Net, Cascade R-CNN). Ablation studies validate the effectiveness of LD-YOLOv9s, which outperforms conventional methods, achieving a 6.3% improvement in mean average precision (mAP) over YOLOv9s on the LD-2024 dataset.

Lumpy skin disease is a very infectious disease in cattle. Every year many cattle die because of lumpy skin disease. Recently, Indian states especially Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab have witnessed the death of many cows due to lumpy skin infection. This disease becomes very dangerous and spreads at a high rate if not treated well at the time of infection. A proper technique is required to detect the lumpy skin infection in cattle so that proper diagnosis can be adopted to stop the infection from spreading and to save the life of the infected cattle. With the emergence of machine learning and deeplearning approaches it seems that detection can be done at the inception of infection in the cattle. Many researchers have suggested various ways to detect the lumpy skin disease but there is need of an approach which can guarantee the high accuracy, precision, recall and f1 score for the lumpy skin infection. We have used some of the advanced pre-trained deeplearning models and also proposed a modified convolution neural network model for lumpy skin infection detection. We collected dataset from the online platform. We collected total 936 cattle images including healthy and lumpy skin infected cattle. Out of 936 cattle images 421 were lumpy affected and rest 515 were images of the healthy cattle. We split the image in training and testing dataset. We used 80 percent of images for training the models and 20 % of images for testing the performance of the models. We trained InceptionV3, VGG16, ResNet50V2 and modified CNN model under similar condition by properly tuning the hyper parameters. We have observed that proposed modified CNN model outperformed all the reset three models. On training data, modified CNN yield an accuracy of 99.01 %, InceptionV3 furnished an accuracy of 98.85 %, Resnet50V2 has an accuracy of 92.09% and VGG16 guaranteed an accuracy of 92%. On testing data, proposed modified CNN, InceptionV3, ResNet50V2 and VGG 16 has accuracy 97.87 %, 97.34%, 93.09% and 93

Within the domain of imageprocessing, a wide array of methodologies is dedicated to tasks including denoising, enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. These techniques collectively address the challenges and opportunities posed by different aspects of image analysis and manipulation, enabling applications across various fields. Each of these methodologies contributes to refining our understanding of images, extracting essential information, and making informed decisions based on visual data. Traditional imageprocessing methods and deeplearning (DL) models represent two distinct approaches to tackling image analysis tasks. Traditional methods often rely on handcrafted algorithms and heuristics, involving a series of predefined steps to process images. DL models learn feature representations directly from data, allowing them to automatically extract intricate features that traditional methods might miss. In denoising, techniques like Self2Self NN, Denoising CNNs, DFT-Net, and MPR-CNN stand out, offering reduced noise while grappling with challenges of data augmentation and parameter tuning. image enhancement, facilitated by approaches such as R2R and LE-net, showcases potential for refining visual quality, though complexities in real-world scenes and authenticity persist. Segmentation techniques, including PSPNet and Mask-RCNN, exhibit precision in object isolation, while handling complexities like overlapping objects and robustness concerns. For feature extraction, methods like CNN and HLF-DIP showcase the role of automated recognition in uncovering image attributes, with trade-offs in interpretability and complexity. Classification techniques span from Residual Networks to CNN-LSTM, spotlighting their potential in precise categorization despite challenges in computational demands and interpretability. This review offers a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and limitations across methodologies, paving the way for informed decis

This study develops forest road recognition technology using deeplearning-based imageprocessing to support the advancement of autonomous driving technology for forestry machinery. images were collected while driving a tracked forwarder along approximately 1.2 km of forest roads. A total of 633 images were acquired, with 533 used for the training and validation sets, and the remaining 100 for the test set. The YOLOv8 segmentation technique was employed as the deeplearning model, leveraging transfer learning to reduce training time and improve model performance. The evaluation demonstrates strong model performance with a precision of 0.966, a recall of 0.917, an F1 score of 0.941, and a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.963. Additionally, an image-based algorithm is developed to extract the center from the forest road areas detected by YOLOv8 segmentation. This algorithm detects the coordinates of the road edges through RGB filtering, grayscale conversion, binarization, and histogram analysis, subsequently calculating the center of the road from these coordinates. This study demonstrates the feasibility of autonomous forestry machines and emphasizes the critical need to develop forest road recognition technology that functions in diverse environments. The results can serve as important foundational data for the future development of imageprocessing-based autonomous forestry machines.

Palm recognition systems play an important role in biometric authentication; however, existing systems frequently have low accuracy and resiliency due to problems such as changing lighting conditions, occlusions, and hand orientations. The paper describes a novel way to improve palm recognition accuracy by combining modern imageprocessing and deeplearning approaches. Unlike traditional systems that utilize handcrafted features and shallow learning algorithms, the proposed system uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for feature extraction and classification, as well as advanced image preprocessing techniques. The technology preprocesses palm images to increase quality and consistency, thereby reducing the impact of environmental factors. Cross-validation trials yielded consistent results, with an average accuracy of 95%, precision of 92%, recall of 96%, and Fl-score of 94%. Furthermore, computational efficiency comparisons reveal that the proposed system beats existing ones in terms of training time, inference time, and model size, indicating that it is a promising option for accurate and efficient palm recognition in a variety of real-world applications.
