gwel 0.0.3a0

A computer vision package for handling large image datasets and using neural networks

Gwel

The gwel Python module provides a framework for handling large image datasets and using neural networks for computer vision tasks in crop science research. The module supports object instance detection and semantic segmentation. The flowchart below outlines the workflows that can be achieved using this module.

Maintained and created by Jack Rich, Department of Crop Science, School of Agriculture, Policy, and Development; University of Reading as part of my PhD research.
