WeedRemeed takes flight: AI weed detection platform goes live

Detecting and mapping weeds across large and difficult landscapes is time-consuming, costly and often complex. WeedRemeed is designed to help change that, using drone imagery, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

This month, CISS celebrated an important milestone as the WeedRemeed AI-enabled drone technology Minimum Viable Product went live.

Funded by the Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water through the Saving Native Species Program, WeedRemeed combines drone imagery with AI and ML to detect and geolocate target plant species in the toughest of terrain. It also has the capacity to process and store vast volumes of data.

 

 

WeedRemeed automates a traditionally time-consuming process and demonstrates the potential to improve how invasive plants are detected, mapped and managed. For government agencies, land managers, renewable energy providers and conservation organisations, WeedRemeed has the potential to reduce costly landscape surveys, improve early detection of priority weeds and support more targeted management responses.

CISS is also establishing an exciting new partnership to fund the first of three planned stages of usability testing and development, with the first stage kicking off in May.
