Synthetic data improves canola branch counting, study finds · arXiv research

Researchers have investigated the impact of synthetic data and label distribution on canola branch counting using a ResNet-18 model. Their findings indicate that incorporating synthetic data can improve performance, with an optimal synthetic-to-real image ratio of 1:7 leading to a 7.6% reduction in mean absolute difference compared to real-only training. The study also found that the distribution of labels in synthetic data is crucial, with a uniform distribution being suboptimal. Interpolating synthetic data labels closer to the real distribution, particularly through Gaussian smoothing, yielded the best results, improving performance by 14.7%. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates how to optimize synthetic data generation for agricultural phenotyping, potentially reducing the cost and time associated with data collection for AI models.
