Abstract:

At present, weed identification mostly uses weeds images taken in laboratory, and it is difficult to quickly and accurately identify weeds in a complex field environment. In order to improve low weed identification accuracy and slow detection speed in natural field environments, according to the characteristics of the weed image data, this study proposed a weed recognition model based on Xception lightweight convolutional network by improving the activation function and pooling layer. Firstly, the Xception was improved using Exponential Linear Unit (ELU) as the activation function of the model, and the global max pooling layer was used to downsample the convolution of the last layer. Then, the weed image was processed by background segmentation and data enhancement, and the best model was obtained by fine tuning on the pre-trained model. Compared with the four standard deep convolutional network models of VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50 and Inception-V3 under the same experimental conditions, the experimental results show that the overall performance of the model in this paper was optimal with the test accuracy rate as high as 98.63%. The scale of the model was 83.5MB, and the average time for detecting a single weed image was only 63.8ms. This study can provide theoretical basis and technical support for the implementation of precision spraying in natural field environment.
