摘要

Determining the indicators of crop development is an important task in the agricultural sector. This study proposes a method for determining the planting density and the leaf area index of sunflower plants using RGB images and deep learning techniques obtained using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For image analysis, the instance segmentation task was solved to count the detected objects and highlight their boundaries. Modern architectures such as YOLOv8 and YOLOv9 were considered. YOLOv8x demonstrated better accuracy on the test data. The analysis of the impact of image preprocessing methods such as Histogram Equalization and Contrast Accumulated Histogram Equalization on model performance was carried out. The results of the experiment indicate that the use of these methods can enhance the generalization ability of models.
