Semantic segmentation has been widely used in precision agriculture, such as weed detection, which is pivotal to increasing crop yields. Various well-established and swiftly evolved AI models have been developed of late for semantic segmentation in weed detection; nevertheless, there is insufficient information about their comparative study for optimal model selection in terms of performance in this field. Identifying such a model helps the agricultural community make the best use of technology. As such, we perform a comparative study of cutting-edge AI deep learning-based segmentation models for weed detection using an RGB image dataset acquired with UAV, called CoFly-WeedDB. For this, we leverage AI segmentation models, ranging from SegNet to DeepLabV3+, combined with five backbone convolutional neural networks (VGG16, ResNet50, DenseNet121, EfficientNetB0 and MobileNetV2). The results show that UNet with EfficientNetB0 as a backbone CNN is the best-performing model compared with the other candidate models used in this study on the CoFly-WeedDB dataset, imparting Precision (88.20%), Recall (88.97%), F1-score (88.24%) and mean Intersection of Union (56.21%). From this study, we suppose that the UNet model combined with EfficientNetB0 could potentially be used by the concerned stakeholders (e.g., farmers, the agricultural industry) to detect weeds more accurately in the field, thereby removing them at the earliest point and increasing crop yields.
