Applying textural Law’s masks to images using machine learning

Abstrak

Currently, artificial neural networks are experiencing a rebirth, which is primarily due to the increase in the computing power of modern computers and the emergence of very large training data sets available in global networks. The article considers Laws texture masks as weights for a machine-learning algorithm for clustering aerospace images. The use of Laws texture masks in machine learning can help in the analysis of the textural characteristics of objects in the image, which are further identified as pockets of weeds. When solving problems in applied areas, in particular in the field of agriculture, there are often problems associated with small sample sizes of images obtained from aerospace and unmanned aerial vehicles and insufficient quality of the source material for training. This determines the relevance of research and development of new methods and algorithms for classifying crop damage. The purpose of the work is to use the method of texture masks of Laws in machine learning for automated processing of high-resolution images in the case of small samples using the example of problems of segmentation and classification of the nature of damage to crops.
