To develop a semantic segmentation method using transfer learning for analyzing multi-species covers in intercropping systems.
Used 50 images for training a robust semantic segmentation model.
Applied transfer learning on the DeepLab convolutional neural network.
Conducted a three-year field trial to gather images with various canopy densities.
Achieved 96.8% mean accuracy in differentiating vegetation from soil.
Developed three-class segmentation models with a maximum accuracy of 96.2%.
Successfully identified dynamic competition for light between oilseed rape and service plants throughout all growth stages.
