Overview
- iNatAg is a massive dataset with 4.7 million images of 2,959 crop and weed species
- Created from iNaturalist data, filtered for agricultural relevance
- Enables multi-class plant classification with high accuracy (92.6% top-1)
- Outperforms existing agricultural datasets in scale and diversity
- Models trained on iNatAg transfer effectively to real-world farm scenarios
Plain English Explanation
Plants are incredibly diverse, and telling them apart is challenging even for humans. For farmers, this challenge is critical—distinguishing between crops and weeds can determine a season's success. Traditional [weed identification](https://aimodels.fyi/papers/arxiv/weedvision-...
