Automatic Localization and Count of Agricultural Crop Pests Based on an Improved Deep Learning Pipeline

Abstract Insect pests are known to be a major cause of damage to agricultural crops. This paper proposed a deep learning-based pipeline for localization and counting of agricultural pests in images by self-learning saliency feature maps. Our method integrates a convolutional neural network (CNN) of...
