Abstract

Precision agriculture has greatly improved the quality and quantity of crop yield over the last four decades. However, this approach depends on the availability of sufficient quality data. Determining the amount of weed coverage and crop damage is crucial in crop management. In addition, water stress, which has been exacerbated because of Climate Change, has significantly affected crop yield. All this while population growth is increasing the need for improved food security. We report on the results of a project funded by the National Geographic Society on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Precision Agriculture. We use AI to investigate weed detection and water-stress estimation on a tropical island. These algorithms are built on data collected with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We used several Machine Learning models including XG-Boost, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Mobile-Net and Random Forest. Data collected for use with these models is being made available to the public.
