But it was a nice surprise to see how well it performed. The ability to precisely and automatically identify and delineate individual trees with 96 percent accuracy could offer a much faster, precise and repeatable method for long-term crop management for growers and the LREC." — Ovidiu Csillik, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Carnegie Institution for Science Based on Csillik's results, the LREC plans to apply the approach to other study areas, explore how transferable it is, and determine how easily they can update their tree maps over time. Although more research on pairing UAS imagery with CNN-OBIA technology is needed to fully realize how this approach can better the precision agriculture industry, Csillik is optimistic about the initial result and future ones to come. © 2019, Trimble Inc.

In total, the UAS captured 4,574 images which were photogrammetrically processed into a 4-band orthoimagery mosaic and input into eCognition for analysis. An overview of the identified tree locations using CNN, overlapped on a false color composite of UAV's mosaic.
