Transfer Learning-Based Accurate Detection of Shrub Crown Boundaries Using UAS Imagery

The accurate delineation of shrub crown boundaries is critical for ecological monitoring, land management, and understanding vegetation dynamics in fragile ecosystems such as semi-arid shrublands. While traditional image processing techniques often struggle with overlapping canopies, deep learning m...
