Background

A leading environmental research organization approached us to develop an advanced object detection model to analyze aerial RGB images of vegetation and pathways. The primary goal was to identify three specific objects of interest:

Paths/Roads (blue)

Continuous linear shapes.

Small Gaps in Vegetation (red)

Circular gaps (< 50 cm).

Elongated Gaps in Vegetation (green)

Rectangular gaps (~50 x 100 cm).

Project Objectives

  • Improve the accuracy of object detection for aerial image analysis.
  • Ensure the robustness of the solution for varying image quality.
  • Deploy the best-performing model for long-term monitoring and research purposes.

Work Phases

#1. Dataset Preparation

  • Tasks:
  • Verify Image Quality: Analyzed the quality and consistency of RGB images provided.
  • Manual Annotation: Manually annotated around 250 images to establish a high-quality training subset.
  • Model-Assisted Annotation: Trained a preliminary model on the manually annotated subset. The model automated annotation for the remaining dataset (~3,000 images).
  • Review & Correction: Reviewed all model-generated annotations and corrected errors.

#2. Tool Selection and Benchmarking

  • Tasks:
  • Tool Evaluation: Assessed multiple object detection frameworks: YOLOv5, TensorFlow Object Detection API, and Detectron2.
  • Initial Benchmarking: Tested each framework on 100 annotated images, evaluating their speed, precision, recall, and ease of integration.

#3. Data Preprocessing, Model Training, and Validation

  • Tasks:
  • Preprocess Images: Used OpenCV to normalize, preprocess images, and optimized them for model training.
  • Train & Fine-Tune Models: Configured and trained the Detectron2 model using an NVIDIA A100 GPU.
  • Validation: Evaluated on a test dataset (500 images), tracking metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.

#4. Full Dataset Testing and Result Analysis

  • Tasks:
  • Full Dataset Testing: Tested the fine-tuned Detectron2 model on the entire dataset (~3,000 images). The model achieved consistent results across diverse image conditions.
  • Result Analysis & Report: Analyzed model accuracy, reliability, and performance. Compiled a final report summarizing the findings and recommendations.
  • Deployment: Deployed the final model with accuracy for all object types. Set up a monitoring system to track prediction reliability and flag anomalies.
