Abstract
The present tree seedling inventory system includes both a mobile platform used to obtain images of seedlings and a tree seedling inventory system to count the seedlings. A recurrent neural network can receive processed imaging data and utilize a model to accurately count the seedlings as the mobile platform passes along a seedling bed. The system may also provide additional accurate seedling quality data about the seedlings, such as shoot height, root collar diameter, and needle coloration.
