Young Plant & Flower Detection

Challenges

• Young plants were often very small and difficult to identify.
• Early-stage plants showed few visual features, making them hard to separate from weeds.
• Dense vegetation and complex field backgrounds made detection challenging.
• Partially visible plants required careful annotation.
• Similar-looking weeds were easily confused with young flower plants.
• Lighting conditions and shadows varied and affected plant visibility.
• Keeping bounding boxes tight and accurate around small plants demanded significant attention to detail.
