Abstract

Weed is an unwanted plant which is grown in agriculture land. The land which is not cultivated will be fully covered by Weeds. Management of weed is the major concern for farmer because the weed will reduce the crop production quantity. There are many methods to control the weeds, one of those methods is manual plucking which is expensive because it takes more time, consumes human work. Second is by applying any chemicals suggested by external experts. This may cause damage to the crop which is cultivated. Identifying weeds in early stage of crop growth and destroying them through proper method is most important for increasing the crop production. We proposed an efficient method for identifying and classifying weed in paddy field by using Deep learning-based computer vision techniques. We applied Semantic Segmentation model for classifying weeds in agriculture land. We trained our model with SegNet with different batch size of 16,32,64 and obtained a highest accuracy of 94.223 for dropout value 0.1 and batch size set to 32.
