Comparative Evaluation of Convolutional and Transformer-Based Detectors for Automated Weed Detection in Precision Agriculture

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.00908v1 Announce Type: new This paper presents a comparative evaluation of convolutional and transformer-based object detection architectures for early weed detection in realistic scenarios. Representative models from each paradigm are considered, including YOLOv26-nano, a recent variant of the YOLO family, and transformer-based approaches such as RTDETR and RF
