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
- Distinguishing pea plants from surrounding vegetation and weeds.
- Small and partially visible plants were difficult to detect.
- Overlapping plants in dense field areas complicated separation.
- Complex agricultural backgrounds reduced plant visibility.
- Keeping bounding boxes accurate and consistent across varied image conditions took careful attention.

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.
