## Tree Crown Detection in RGB Airborne Imagery |
|
|
|
The model was initially described in [Remote Sensing](https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/11/11/1309) on a single site. The prebuilt model uses a semi-supervised approach in which millions of moderate quality annotations are generated using a LiDAR unsupervised tree detection algorithm, followed by hand-annotations of RGB imagery from select sites. Comparisons among geographic sites were added to [Ecological Informatics](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S157495412030011X). The model was further improved, and the Python package was released in [Methods in Ecology and Evolution](https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/2041-210X.13472). |

## How to Get Started with the Model |
|
|
|
Use the code below to get started with the model. |
|
|
|
``` |
|
from deepforest import main |
|
from deepforest import get_data |
|
from deepforest.visualize import plot_results |
|
# Initialize the model class |
|
model = main.deepforest() |
|
|
|
# Load a pretrained tree detection model from Hugging Face |
|
model.load_model(model_name="weecology/deepforest-tree", revision="main") |
|
|
|
sample_image_path = get_data("OSBS_029.png") |
|
img = model.predict_image(path=sample_image_path) |
|
plot_results(img) |
|
``` |
