Creating the OpenWeedLocator - DIY weed detection. Build yours here!
https://github.com/geezacoleman/OpenWeedLocator
This is close to Valencia in a small town called Aín - they have an epic trail marathon there. 44km with 3800m elevation gain. Some of the most technical descents I've tried.

Congratulations!

Thanks for listening and sharing the link!

Some really interesting talks.

Context for the experiment here:

bsky.app/profile/geez...
Every plant imaged three times over three days to get a mean model prediction. Using a Sony Alpha A7IV for imaging.

Would absolutely automate this for a future experiment...

Thank you!

Open to ideas on what to do with about 10,000 images of 3500 ryegrass plants besides this experiment, seems like it could be useful?

Next steps are to use RootPainter to correctively annotate and train a unet model go extract the plant from the background, then finally run all extractions through the classifier and see how 3 years of work went.

Sweaty palms when making the first ggplot.

Interim results from the PhD would suggest that, yes, image classification algorithms can drive morphological changes in plants towards a mimetic phenotype.

Should also mention there is a three year postdoc position available as well as part of the same project

The OneCropHealth project is looking at the interactions of all crop management processes and trying to implement better precision agriculture tools.

A good mix of hardware, software and field work is likely.

Get in touch if you're interested!
