Not D because Classification can't predict the severity for that we need Segmentation

Rust Spot Location and Size: Object detection (A) primarily focuses on identifying and bounding the location of objects.expand_more While it can detect the presence of rust spots, it wouldn't capture the variations in size and shape that correlate with disease severity. Detailed Boundaries: Image classification (D) would only predict the presence or absence of the disease based on the entire image. It wouldn't provide details about the location or extent of the rust spots. Template matching (C) with traditional libraries might be computationally expensive and struggle with the variability in spot shapes and sizes.

only B gets the severity here

Object Detection [Option A] and Image Segmentation [Option B]: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/practical-machine-learning/9781098102357/ch04.html Image Recognition [Option D]: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/practical-machine-learning/9781098102357/ch03.html#image_vision

B. Develop an image segmentation ML model to locate the boundaries of the rust spots. An image segmentation model is well-suited for this task because it can identify the exact location and shape of the rust spots in the image, which is critical for determining the severity of the disease. Once the rust spots have been identified, other algorithms can be used to analyze the data and predict the severity of the disease. Object detection models are another option, but they may not be as accurate as image segmentation models when it comes to identifying the exact boundaries of the rust spots. Template matching algorithms using traditional computer vision libraries are generally not as accurate as ML models when it comes to image analysis.

the shape of the spot is quite important for the severity of the disease, and image segmentation could help us to determine it in a more granular manner. And it is often used in the healthcare industry, for getting the shapes of all the cancerous cells

Answer B

To determine severity of the disease, boundary of rust spots should be determined - for size/ shape etc.

D should works

I think D
