The NWRD Dataset: An Open-Source Annotated Segmentation Dataset of Diseased Wheat Crop.

Wheat stripe rust disease (WRD) is extremely detrimental to wheat crop health, and it severely affects the crop yield, increasing the risk of food insecurity. Manual inspection by trained personnel is carried out to inspect the disease spread and extent of damage to wheat fields. However, this is quite inefficient, time-consuming, and laborious, owing to the large area of wheat plantations.

DocChip: A Configurable Hardware Accelerator for an End-to-End Historical Document Image Processing.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand to digitize and electronically access historical records. Optical character recognition (OCR) is typically applied to scanned historical archives to transcribe them from document images into machine-readable texts. Many libraries offer special stationary equipment for scanning historical documents.
