Abstract: Wheat ear detection and counting are very important for wheat yield estimation and breeding. However, traditional wheat ear quantity statistics are based on manual statistical methods or remote sensing prediction methods, which are inefficient and not accurate. In order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a wheat detection method based on YOLOv3 deep neural network. The results showed that YOLOv3 has achieved an average accuracy mAP value of 67.81% and an accuracy rate of 93% for wheat ear counting on three common wheat varieties, which can quickly and efficiently detect wheat ears in a specific label box.

Key words: wheat ear, YOLOv3 network, wheat ear detection, wheat ear counting
