Classification of plantations from RPA images using deep learning

Abstract
In this study, we explored the application of Deep Learning techniques for the classification of coconut plantations from images collected by a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). A Convolutional Neural Network was used to create a model that classifies images into two categories: coconut and non-coconut. The model achieved an accuracy of 88%, concluding that Deep Learning techniques are viable tools for the identification of plants in large areas, with the potential to improve the management of agricultural crops.
