Abstract
Alex Olsen applied deep learning and machine vision to improve the accuracy of weed species detection in real time complex environments. His robotic weed control prototype, AutoWeed, presents a new efficient tool for weed management in crop and pasture and has launched a startup agricultural technology company.
