Popis: Image segmentation of specific plants is an important task in precision farming. Several influences such as changing light, varying arrangement of leaves and similarly looking plants are challenging. We present a solution for segmenting individual Rumex obtusifolius plants out of complicated natural scenes in grassland from 2D images. We are making use of a fully convolutional deep neural network (FCN) trained with hand labeled images. The proposed segmentation scheme is validated with images taken under outdoor conditions. The overall masks segmentation rate is 84.8% measured by the dice coefficient. Approximately half of the experiments show segmentation rates of individual plants higher than 88%. The developed solution is therefore a robust method to segment Rumex obtusifolius plants under real-world conditions in short time.
