The use of computer vision to support and automate agriculture and viticulture is increasing. Therefore, it is important to continuously test new technologies and equipment. Management of pests and diseases in viticulture is a labour-intensive task. This study aims to investigate current technologies in computer vision that could be applied to disease and pest detection in viticulture and the application of transfer learning on segmentation networks. This study also implements a case study and applies computer vision for disease and pest detection. Observation of limitations in the network's performance on testing images, after training on the limited data set, suggests that careful control is needed over lighting conditions in the image capture environment. Although initial results are positive, a larger training dataset is recommended to achieve a greater level of accuracy.
