Provide Examples


  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. When satisfied with your selections, click “Continue.”
  7. 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:


  1. Select “Add Examples.”
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Select “Proceed with Whole Field” and continue to Analyze Whole Field
