TY - CONF T1 - Improved and Generalized Vine Line Detection on Aerial Images Using Asymmetrical Neural Networks and ML Subclassifiers A1 - Treboux, Jerome A1 - Ingold, Rolf A1 - Genoud, Dominique Y1 - 2021 PB - i6doc.com publ. T2 - ESANN CY - Bruges, Belgium (Online) SN - 978287587082-7 N2 - It is widely accepted that deep neural networks are very efficient for detecting objects in images. They reach their limit when detecting multiple instances of long lines in low-resolution images. We present an original methodology for the recognition of vine lines in low-resolution satellite images. The method consists in combining an asymmetrical neural network with a sub-classifier. We first compare a traditional U-Net architecture with an asymmetrical U-Net architecture designed for precision agriculture. We then highlight the significant improvement in vine line detection when a Random Forest is added after the customized U-Net. This methodology addresses the complex task of dissociating vine lines from other agricultural objects. As a result, our experiments improve the precision from 0.83 to 0.94 over our optimized neural network. ER -
