Advancing Detection and Surveillance of European Water Chestnut - Second Stage

Exciting news from saiwa! To enhance Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC)'s capability of UAV-based surveillance of European Water Chestnut (EWC) through machine learning, we successfully deployed the first version of our EWC detector software last year, marking a significant step forward. Now, as we embark on the second stage, we're taking our capabilities to new heights. Key highlights of this stage include:

1. Incremental learning is used to train the deep network gradually over time. With this feature, we can correct false positive and false negative detections over time.
2. We report EWC locations in 3D universal coordinates using drone configuration and temporal GPS data.
