Banana Seedlings Health Monitoring For Micro Air Vehicles Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Banana is one of the most produced but also highly demanded fruits in Malaysia. Many farmers invested in tissue-cultured techniques in greenhouses to increase production, but the tissue-cultured banana seedlings are not invincible to numerous diseases and pest attacks. To monitor the health conditio...
