Goosegrass Detection in Strawberry and Tomato Using a Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract Goosegrass is a problematic weed species in Florida vegetable plasticulture production. To reduce costs associated with goosegrass control, a post-emergence precision applicator is under development for use atop the planting beds. To facilitate in situ goosegrass detection and spraying, tin...
