The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in precision agriculture is gaining more and more interest. In this paper, we present a deep learning based method for estimating the crop and weed distribution from images captured by a UAV. The proposed approach runs on an embedded board equipped with a GPU. Quantitative experimental results have been obtained using real images from two different public datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
