Classification Of Vegetation In Aerial Imagery Via Neural Network, Gevand Balayan May 2019

Classification Of Vegetation In Aerial Imagery Via Neural Network, Gevand Balayan

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

This thesis focuses on the task of trying to find a Neural Network that is best suited for identifying vegetation from aerial imagery. The goal is to find a way to quickly classify items in an image as highly likely to be vegetation(trees, grass, bushes and shrubs) and then interpolate that data and use it to mark sections of an image as vegetation. This has practical applications as well. The main motivation of this work came from the effort that our town takes in conserving water. By creating an AI that can easily recognize plants, we can better monitor the …


Multiple-Attribute Entity Recommendation Based On Classification, Meina Song, Xuejun Zhao, Haihong E Jan 2019

Multiple-Attribute Entity Recommendation Based On Classification, Meina Song, Xuejun Zhao, Haihong E

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In the process of exploring entity recommendation, the entity containing diverse attributes has gained more and more attention. Most of the current researchers mainly select one attribute, and embody it in the related algorithms and their extensions even though the entity is combined with multiple attributes in entity recommendation. In this paper, on the basis of the classification method, we delve into physical properties of the recommended entities, divide entity’s attribute information network into multiple sub ones. In sub information network, bounded by the amount of attributes, the single attribute and even multiple attributes can be diverted into diverse …


Effective Plant Discrimination Based On The Combination Of Local Binary Pattern Operators And Multiclass Support Vector Machine Methods, Vi N T Le, Beniamin Apopei, Kamal Alameh Jan 2019

Effective Plant Discrimination Based On The Combination Of Local Binary Pattern Operators And Multiclass Support Vector Machine Methods, Vi N T Le, Beniamin Apopei, Kamal Alameh

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Accurate crop and weed discrimination plays a critical role in addressing the challenges of weed management in agriculture. The use of herbicides is currently the most common approach to weed control. However, herbicide resistant plants have long been recognised as a major concern due to the excessive use of herbicides. Effective weed detection techniques can reduce the cost of weed management and improve crop quality and yield. A computationally efficient and robust plant classification algorithm is developed and applied to the classification of three crops: Brassica napus (canola), Zea mays (maize/corn), and radish. The developed algorithm is based on the …
