agml 0.2.3

A comprehensive library for agricultural deep learning

Overview

AgML is a comprehensive library for agricultural machine learning. Currently, AgML provides access to a wealth of public agricultural datasets for common agricultural deep learning tasks. In the future, AgML will provide ag-specific ML functionality related to data, training, and evaluation. Here's a conceptual diagram of the overall framework.

AgML supports both the TensorFlow and PyTorch machine learning frameworks.

Installation

To install the latest release of AgML, run the following command:

pip install agml

Getting Started

Using Public Agricultural Data

AgML aims to provide easy access to a range of existing public agricultural datasets The core of AgML's public data pipeline is AgMLDataLoader. Simply running the following line of code:

loader = AgMLDataLoader('<dataset_name_here>')

will download the dataset locally from which point it will be automatically loaded from the disk on future runs. From this point, the data within the loader can be split into train/val/test sets, batched, have augmentations and transforms applied, and be converted into a training-ready dataset (including batching, tensor conversion, and image formatting).

To see the various ways in which you can use AgML datasets in your training pipelines, check out the example notebook.

Annotation Formats

A core aim of AgML is to provide datasets in a standardized format, enabling the synthesizing of multiple datasets into a single training pipeline. To this end, we provide annotations in the following formats:

• Image Classification: Image-To-Label-Number
• Object Detection: COCO JSON
• Semantic Segmentation: Dense Pixel-Wise
