Rare plants detection using a YOLOv3 neural network

Rare plant species restoration (reintroduction) is one of the main biodiversity conservation activities. Reintroduced plants need constant monitoring in order to study features of their development and control the population state. To reduce the human impact on the natural habitat of plants and simp...

description Rare plant species restoration (reintroduction) is one of the main biodiversity conservation activities. Reintroduced plants need constant monitoring in order to study features of their development and control the population state. To reduce the human impact on the natural habitat of plants and simplify the monitoring process, we propose the use of automatic analysis of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) data using the Yolov3 neural network. The article discusses neural network parameters for detecting Paeonia Tenuifolia, reintroduced in the Samara region by ecologists from the Department of Ecology, Botany and Nature Conservation of Samara University. The main issue under research is the possibility of training a neural network from peony images collected in an artificial habitat with a subsequent application to images collected in a natural habitat and the possibilities of using multi-temporal data to improve the network training quality. The experiments have shown that training a neural network exclusively using images collected in the natural habitat makes it possible to achieve a probability of correct detection of peonies of 0.93, while using data obtained at different years allows increasing the probability of correct detection to 0.95.
