Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks for Observation-Centered Plant Identification by Xuanxin Liu, Fu Xu, Yu Sun, Haiyan Zhang, Zhibo Chen

“…To tolerate the significant intraclass variances, the convolutional recurrent neural networks (C-RNNs) are proposed for observation-centered plant identification to mimic human behaviors. The C-RNN model is composed of two components: the convolutional neural network (CNN) backbone is used as a feature extractor for images, and the recurrent neural network (RNN) units are built to synthesize multiview features from each image for final prediction. …”
