Decide SOW/Goal 23-C-08_Weed

[robbiebbaker]

Weed object detection will be a crucial task involved in FRE 2025. Please read more about the competition here. We will be required to perform object detection (bounding boxes + class probabilities) and deliver the resultant bounding boxes and probabilities to the extermination subteam. Please keep in mind that this model that is developed will have to be run on Nvidia systems.

We are aiming to create a general weed classifier that can identify various types of weeds as the competition has not stated what weeds will be used. The first step to solve this problem effectively is to define the scope of work, methods, and approaches to develop a reliable object detection solution.
