Aerial inspection of agricultural regions can provide crucial information to safeguard from numerous obstacles to efficient farming. Farmland anomalies such as standing water, weed clusters, hamper the farming practices, which causes improper use of farm area and disrupts agricultural planning. Monitoring of farmland and crops through Internet-of-Things (IoT)-enabled smart systems has potential to increase the efficiency of modern farming techniques. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing is a powerful technique to acquire farmland images on a large scale. Visual data analytics for automatic pattern recognition from the collected data is useful for developing Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted farming models, which holds great promise in improving the farming outputs by capturing the crop patterns, farmland anomalies and providing predictive solutions to the inherent challenges faced by farmers. In this work, we propose a deep learning framework AgriSegNet for automatic detection of farmland anomalies using multiscale attention semantic segmentation of UAV acquired images. The proposed model is useful for monitoring of farmland and crops to increase the efficiency of precision farming techniques. |
