Sample frames for this project are available under NDA. Write to bilal@wortel.ai and we will share the relevant before and after pairs.
Challenges
- Detecting individual broccoli plants in dense field conditions.
- Overlapping and closely positioned plants had to be separated.
- Broccoli plants were easily confused with weeds and surrounding vegetation.
- Partially visible plants near image boundaries still required annotation.
- Accuracy and consistency had to hold across varied field conditions and camera angles.

Bounding boxes around individual almond trees in top-down drone imagery, where shadows and neighbouring vegetation mimicked real trees.
Apple Detection
Bounding boxes around individual apples on tree branches, where dense leaves and occlusion hid much of each fruit.
