Abstract

This publication presents a guide to image analysis for researchers and farm managers who use ArcGIS software. Anyone with basic geographic information system analysis skills may follow along with the demonstration and learn to implement the Mask Region Convolutional Neural Networks model, a widely used model for object detection, to delineate strawberry canopies using ArcGIS Pro Image Analyst Extension in a simple workflow. This process is useful for precision agriculture management.

del is trained using examples related to the target application. We used 10,273 canopies to train the model, but we believe that the model can be trained with fewer canopies and still produce reasonably reliable results.
