Abstract


Abstract: Weed mapping is essential for Site Specific Weed Management (SSWM), which may reduce the negative effects of chemical control while enhancing the effects.  The UAV remote sensing platform can rapidly collect the imagery of large scale fields, which may provide efficient decision making information of SSWM applications.  This paper explores extensive literature on weed recognition by UAV remote sensing, and classified them into weed classification, weed detection and weed mapping categories according to the research objectives and the corresponding techniques.  For each category, we introduce several state of the art researches and summarize its limitations according to the general experimental results.  Further, we draw the future directions of the weed recognition, which may effectively address the technique limitation of the current research.  In general, the deep learning methods may benefit the weed recognition by UAV remote sensing with its strong data interpretation capability.
