  • Patent number: 11640704
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for automatically generating synthetic training images that are usable, for instance, as training data for training machine learning models to detect and/or classify various types of plant diseases at various stages in digital images. In various implementations, one or more environmental features associated with an agricultural area may be retrieved. One or more synthetic plant models may be generated to visually simulate one or more stages of a progressive plant disease, taking into account the one or more environmental features associated with the agricultural area. The one or more synthetic plant models may be graphically incorporated into a synthetic training image that depicts the agricultural area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11604947
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for automatically generating quasi-realistic synthetic training images that are usable as training data for training machine learning models to perceive various types of plant traits in digital images. In various implementations, multiple labeled simulated images may be generated, each depicting simulated and labeled instance(s) of a plant having a targeted plant trait. In some implementations, the generating may include stochastically selecting features of the simulated instances of plants from a collection of plant assets associated with the targeted plant trait. The collection of plant assets may be obtained from ground truth digital image(s). In some implementations, the ground truth digital image(s) may depict real-life instances of plants having the target plant trait.

  • Patent number: 11544920
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for automatically generating synthetic training images that are usable as training data for training machine learning models to detect, segment, and/or classify various types of plants in digital images. In various implementations, a digital image may be obtained that captures an area. The digital image may depict the area under a lighting condition that existed in the area when a camera captured the digital image. Based at least in part on an agricultural history of the area, a plurality of three-dimensional synthetic plants may be generated. The synthetic training image may then be generated to depict the plurality of three-dimensional synthetic plants in the area. In some implementations, the generating may include graphically incorporating the plurality of three-dimensional synthetic plants with the digital image based on the lighting condition.
