This paper presents a robust exploration of the capabilities of conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in harnessing labeled data to produce high-quality labels for unlabeled samples. By leveraging conditional information, our approach guides the network to generate contextually relevant labels for specific time series data, accelerating the labeling process. A comprehensive evaluation of our model's performance, incorporating diverse metrics, visual representations, and his-tograms, illuminates the effectiveness of conditional GANs for the Assistive Label Generation (ALG) of time series Arabidopsis thaliana images. The Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) high-lights an average similarity of 98.89 % between the generated and manually labeled images. This innovative methodology holds the promise of significantly reducing labeling efforts.

The precise detection of plant centres is important for growth monitoring, enabling the continuous tracking of plant development to discern the influence of diverse factors. It holds significance for automated systems like robotic harvesting, facilitating machines in locating and engaging with plants. In this paper, we explore the YOLOv4 (You Only Look Once) real-time neural network detector for plant centre detection. Our dataset, comprising over 12,000 images from 151 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, is used to fine-tune the model. Evaluation of the dataset reveals the model's proficiency in centre detection across various accessions, boasting an mAP of 99.79% at a 50 % IoU threshold. The model demonstrates real-time processing capabilities, achieving a frame rate of approximately 50 FPS. This outcome underscores its rapid and efficient analysis of video or image data, showcasing practical utility in time-sensitive applications.

Interest in research of the navigation problem for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is on the rise. The aim of such a task is reaching a goal position while avoiding obstacles on the way. In this paper, we propose a different approach to Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) of navigation decision making process by introducing the reward function based of Artificial Potential Fields (APF). The validation of the proposed approach is performed by the comparison to the state-of-the-art approach. In terms of training performance, success rate, memory usage and the inference time, our approach, though sparser in terms of perceived information about the environment, yield better results.
