Ground Cover Quadrat Segmentation

2,275 cover-crop plot images annotated in Labelbox: plot corners boxed, then every pixel classed as groundcover, weed, residue, crop or soil.

Challenges

  • Perennial ground cover (pgc) must be separated from broadleaf weeds and from weedy grasses inside the same plot.
  • Stover, bare soil, and senescing crop tissue sit close in colour under natural field light.
  • Soil masks need honest boundaries on complex texture; unlabeled pixels are aggregated into soil at training time.
  • Only one ROI style appears per image, either quadrat corners or coloured markers, and segmentation must match that choice.
  • Living corn and soybean foliage must stay distinct from stover and from cover crops in mixed stands.
  • Rare classes (snow, namecard, person, marking_flag) still need correct masks when they appear.

Client feedback

“Bilal and his team did an amazing job on our image annotation project. We completed the project in Labelbox but they are comfortable working in any of the major labeling platforms.”
