An improved U-net and attention mechanism-based model for sugar beet and weed segmentation by Yadong Li, Ruinan Guo, Rujia Li, Rongbiao Ji, Mengyao Wu, Dinghao Chen, Cong Han, Ruilin Han, Yongxiu Liu, Yuwen Ruan, Jianping Yang, Jianping Yang

“…Additionally, CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) is incorporated into the decoder as a multi-scale feature fusion module, adaptively adjusting feature map weights to enable the model to focus more accurately on the edges and textures of crops and weeds.Results and discussionExperimental results show that the proposed model achieved 84.28% mIoU and 88.59% mPA on the sugar beet dataset, representing improvements of 3.08% and 3.15% over the baseline UNet model, respectively, and outperforming mainstream models such as FCN, PSPNet, SegFormer, DeepLabv3+, and HRNet. Moreover, the model’s inference time is only 0.0559 seconds, reducing computational overhead while maintaining high accuracy. …”
