Provide Examples
- As a first step before adding any examples, you should adjust the field boundaries of the project area to avoid unnecessary processing time and improve the PlantAI performance
- Navigate to the Imagery Tab -> Field Boundary -> Click on Settings Icon ⚙️
- Move the vertices of the polygon to adjust the field boundaries. To add additional vertices, simply click anywhere on a line and drag to the desired location.
- Save changes and return to the PlantAI Tool.
- Using the mouse wheel or zoom control buttons, Zoom into an area of your field that contains relevant plant samples to be counted.
- We recommend to include some elements or other plants that you DON'T wish to count to help the AI learn to differentiate.
- Once zoomed in, use either the circle, square or polygon tool (which is visible will depend on the detection type) to draw an annotation around 3 representative examples of the plant you wish to count.
- A bounding box will appear in which you will create more sample annotations.
- TIP: You can use the "Shift" key together with the polygon tool to draw a free-form shape.
- Click the magic wand icon 🪄 to try and automatically detect additional similar plants within the bounding box.
- If the results look good, you can keep them.
- If not, use the Undo button or the Select tool to delete incorrect selections.
- If necessary, use the circle or polygon tool to annotate any missed samples.
- NOTE: It’s important that ALL plant samples within the bounding box are annotated.
- When satisfied with your selections, click “Continue.”
- If you are running a second round of examples, go to the instructions below.
Need to improve?
After the first processing round, follow the steps below:
- Select “Add Examples.”
- A bounding box will be created.
- You can move the box to another area, or start adding more samples where it is.
- To save time, select the “Get from Latest Result” tool to load annotations from the previous detection.
- Use the magic wand as before to try and automatically detect further examples.
- Use the Square, Circle or Polygon tool to add further examples as needed.
- Once samples are annotated, you can either:
- Click “Continue”, then run test detection as before, or
- Click “Add Examples” again to continue annotating more samples.
- Repeat this workflow of reviewing and annotation until satisfied with the accuracy.
- TIP: To assist in identifying problematics areas, you can disable the view of the photomosaic by selecting the "Show Background Map" icon in the top right corner.
- Select “Proceed with Whole Field” and continue to Analyze Whole Field
