A pilot computer-vision model trained to identify slide-mounted scale insect pests from the family Rhizoecidae
The emerging field of image classification using computer vision has yet to address a rather challenging group of insect pests--soft-bodied insects that are preserved on microscope slides. This includes many notoriously invasive herbivores that have a significant impact on agriculture, such as members of the hemipteran suborder Sternorrhyncha. Using root mealybugs (Hemiptera: Rhizoecidae) as a…
