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
- Differentiating POA from similar-looking grasses and vegetation.
- Dense and complex field backgrounds made identification harder.
- Partially visible and overlapping plants required careful judgement.
- Keeping bounding boxes accurate for plants of different sizes took attention.
- Consistency had to hold across varied lighting and field conditions.

Almond Tree Detection
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.
