Weeds Grid

Seed Inventory Example

Overview​

The Weeds Grid overlays a regular grid on the map to visualise weed cover (%) by location. Hotter colours (yellow → orange → red) indicate higher weed cover so you can quickly spot hotspots, prioritise treatment, and measure change over time.

Interface Description​

  • Species selector (top bar): Switch from All Weed to a specific species. The grid colours and the underlying data update immediately.
  • Top-right summary card: Shows the selected cell’s Metric, Weed Alert level, Weed Cover %, and per-species cover when available.
  • Bottom drawer – Weed Grid Cells: A sortable, filterable table for every grid cell.
  • Layer Toggles:
    • Grid overlay — Show or hide the coloured grid that visualises weed cover (%) per cell.
    • Classification layer — Show or hide the pixel-level weed classification results on the imagery for visual QA.
    • Weed Application Paths — Show or hide the blue lines/points indicating planned or completed treatment tracks (uploaded as shapefiles or vector points).

How to use the grid​

  1. Choose a weed type

    • Use the species dropdown in the top bar.
    • Pick All Weed to view overall cover, or select an individual species to target a single weed.

  2. Explore the map

    • Pan/zoom the map to your area of interest.
    • The colour intensity reflects weed cover % for each grid cell (darker = more weeds).

  3. Inspect a grid cell

    • Click a cell to populate the top-right card with:
      • Metric (the selected weed layer),
      • Weed Alert (Low/High, etc.),
      • Weed Cover % for the current selection,
      • Per-species cover when viewing All Weed.

  4. Work the table

    • Open the bottom drawer tab Weed Grid Cells.
    • Sort by All Weed % (or a species column) to find hotspots.
    • Filter using the chips (e.g., keep only High alerts).
    • Click View (if available) to zoom the map to that grid cell.

Switching between Grid & Classification​

Seed Inventory Example

  • Show the Grid to get a clean, quantitative view of weed cover by cell.
  • Turn off the Grid and turn on the Classification layer to see the classification footprints draped directly over the imagery.
  • You can toggle these from the toolbar icons or the LAYERS panel.

Weed Application Paths (blue)​

  • Blue paths/points represent application tracks—where control/treatment has been (or will be) carried out.
  • These can be loaded as shapefiles (lines/polygons) or vector points, and are helpful to:
    • Check whether planned or completed applications intersect high-cover cells.
    • Validate effectiveness by comparing post-treatment grids.

Typical workflow​

  1. Screen the site with All Weed to locate broad hotspots.
  2. Target a priority species from the dropdown to refine where treatment is most needed.
  3. Sort/filter the Weed Grid Cells table to build an actionable list.
  4. Overlay application paths and/or classification to plan and validate treatment.
  5. Re-survey in future and compare grid statistics to measure treatment outcomes.

Tips​

  • Use species-specific mode before planning a targeted spray to avoid over- or under-treating.
  • Save time by filtering the table to High alerts only when scoping field work.
  • Turn the Classification layer on while reviewing imagery to validate grid signals in complex terrain.
  • Keep application paths visible to avoid retreating already covered areas.
