Robotic weed control through weed detection has become increasingly important due to mounting pressure on herbicides from resistance and the large impact of weeds on agricultural productivity. One of the major challenges is accurate classification of weed species for selective targeting in crop situations, whilst the existing studies are often conducted in well-controlled settings with consistent lighting, species and backgrounds. Therefore, in this study, we propose a novel graph-based deep learning architecture, namely Graph Weeds Net (GWN), which aims to recognize multiple types of weeds fr...
