KaraAgroAI/Drone-based-Agricultural-Dataset-for-Crop-Yield-Estimation

Drone-based Agricultural Dataset for Crop Yield Estimation

This repository contains a comprehensive dataset of cashew, cocoa and coffee images captured by drones, accompanied by meticulously annotated labels. To facilitate object detection, each image is paired with a corresponding text file in YOLO format. The YOLO format file contains annotations, including class labels and bounding box coordinates.

The dataset was collected by teams from Ghana (KaraAgro AI) and Uganda (Makerere AI Lab, Uganda Marconi Lab, National Coffee Research Institute, National Crops Resources Research Institute)

Motivation

This dataset bridges a gap by offering a comprehensive collection of agricultural images specifically designed to fuel the development and evaluation of yield estimation models. Estimating crop yield accurately is a complex task influenced by numerous factors including weather conditions, soil quality, pest prevalence, and cultivation practices. By offering a diverse range of images capturing different crops, growth stages, and environmental conditions, this dataset empowers researchers, data scientists, and agronomists to develop models that are robust and adaptable to the variability inherent in real-world agricultural scenarios.

Ghana - KaraAgro AI

Each image in the Ghana set has a resolution of 16000 by 13000 pixels. There is a total of 8,784 images and annotations in the Ghana set.

Intended uses

The dataset which was mainly developed for yield estimation can also be usedfor further research including crop abnormality detection due to the presence of spoilt classes in the datasets

Dataset Information

The dataset was created by a team of data scientists from the KaraAgro AI Foundation, with support from the agricultural scientists and officers. The creation of this dataset was made possible through the funding from the Lacuna Fund.
