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 sunflower plants among dense vegetation and surrounding crops.
- Overlapping and partially visible plants complicated placement.
- Plants appeared at a wide range of distances and viewing angles.
- Keeping bounding boxes tight and consistent around individual plants required care.
- Lighting conditions varied and agricultural backgrounds were complex.

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.
