| Abstract | Selective weed treatment is a cost-effective method that reduces manpower and usage of the agrochemical, at the same time it requires an effective computer vision system to identify weeds and should be smaller in size to run in resource-constrained devices. To accomplish this, a convolution neural network named Reduced Residual U-Net using Depth-wise separable Convolution (RRUDC) network is proposed in this paper. Residual Depth-wise separable Convolution Block (RDCB) is introduced as a functional unit in both contractive and expanding paths. Residual connection is incorporated inside every RDCB unit. This network employs semantic segmentation to analyze the crop field images pixel-wise. To reduce the parameter size, a depth-wise separable convolution technique is used which curtail the number of parameters generated by the model at a ~1/9 ratio with a very negligible drop in accuracy. The model is trained using Crop Weed Field Image Dataset (CWFID) and then the trained model is pruned to reduce the model size further. It compresses the final model size by around ~70% without affecting the performance. It has achieved segmentation accuracy of ~96%, a lesser error rate with a model size less than 3 MB. It can be compatible with converting the proposed deep learning model into a real-time computer vision application that seems more convenient for farmers in their resource-constrained devices on their agricultural land. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
