Abstract

In this paper, we propose an original object detection methodology applied to Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) Dataset. We have been through two major architectures of object detection which are FasterRCNN and EfficientDet, in order to design a novel and robust wheat head detection model. We emphasize on optimizing the performance of our proposed final architectures. Furthermore, we have been through an extensive exploratory data analysis and adapted best data augmentation techniques to our context. We use semi supervised learning to boost previous supervised models of object detection. Moreover, we put much effort on ensemble to achieve higher performance. Finally we use specific post-processing techniques to optimize our wheat head detection results. Our results have been submitted to solve a research challenge launched on the GWHD Dataset which is led by nine research institutes from seven countries. Our proposed method was ranked within the top 6% in the above mentioned challenge.
