Description

The application of herbicides in agriculture to control the growth of weeds triggers several problems, such as contamination of the water table and plantations, economic losses, environmental risks, and damage to health. Thus, TinyML appears as a solution for controlling the growth of weedy plants. The objective of this work is to develop a weed image classifier and, from there, reduce the use of herbicides.
