A New Hybrid Model of Deep Learning ResNeXt-SVM for Weed Detection

A set of experiments has shown that deep learning as well as traditional learning can be used in the weed detection process and perform well, although sometimes these models cannot fully exploit and utilize the long-term dependency relationship between some key features of images and image labels. To remedy this known problem in the field of image classification, the authors have introduced a classifier known as the linear support vector machine (SVM). Specifically, they have combined a ResNeXt and SVM network to provide the ResNeXt-SVM framework that can deepen the exploitation of the structured features of images and the understanding of their content. The experimental results show that compared to other algorithm models such as ResNet, ResNeXt, and VGG, the proposed solution is more precise and efficient in classifying weeds.
