Object detection and semantic segmentation are two of the most widely adopted deep learning algorithms in agricultural applications. One of the major sources of variability in image quality acquired outdoors for such tasks is changing lighting conditions that can alter the appearance of the objects or the contents of the entire image. While transfer learning and data augmentation reduce the need f...
