Early detection of woody plant encroachment in Canadian prairies using UAV imagery and transformer-based deep learning

Accurate and early detection of rapid Woody Plant Encroachment (rWPE) in grasslands is critical for management and conservation. However, this task remains challenging due to the spectral and spatial complexities of multi-species grassland ecosystems. This study evaluates the potential of UAV-RGB im...
