In this study, an automatic system based on open AI architectures was developed and fed with an in-house built image dataset to recognize seven of the most widespread and hard-to-control weeds in wheat in the Mediterranean environment. A total of 10810 images were collected from the post-emergence (S1 dataset) to the pre-flowering stage (S2 dataset). A selection of pictures available from online sources (S3, 825 images) was used as a final and further independent test of the proposed recognition tool. The AI tool in the ensemble configuration achieved 100% accuracy on the validation and test set both for S1 and S2, while for S3 an accuracy of approximately 70% was achieved for weed species in the post-emergence stage.
