WeedsGalore Dataset 🌱🌿

This is the official implementation of the WACV 2025 paper WeedsGalore: A Multispectral and Multitemporal UAV-based Dataset for Crop and Weed Segmentation in Agricultural Maize Fields. WeedsGalore is a UAV-based multispectral dataset with dense annotations for crop and weed segmentation in maize fields. This repository contains code and download links for the dataset and pretrained models.

Evaluation

Requirements

Make sure to have the following installed:

• Python:>= 3.7
• PyTorch:>= 1.13.0
• torchmetrics: >= 0.11.0
• absl: >= 1.3.0
• Pillow (PIL): >= 9.0.1

Install Packages

Example: Create a conda environment and install dependencies:

conda create -n weedsgalore python=3.7.12
conda activate weedsgalore
conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
conda install absl-py=1.3.0
conda install pillow=9.0.1
pip install torchmetrics==0.11.4

Run the evaluation script, replacing the flags with your paths and parameters:

src/evaluate.py --dataset_path <weedsgalore-dataset_directory> --split test --ckpt <ckpt_directory> --in_channels 5 --num_classes 6

You can download pretrained models for DeepLabv3+ here (for both MSI and RGB input, and uni-weed and multi-weed case).
