Plant breeding is fundamentally comprised of three cyclic activities: 1) intermating lines to generate novel allelic combinations, 2) evaluation of new plant cultivars in distinct environments, and 3) selection of superior individuals to be used as parents in the next breeding cycle.

These traits are often evaluated late in the breeding pipeline due to their cost, resulting in the potential advancement of many lines that are not suitable for release.

Generally, a plant re-searcher inspects the visual attributes of a seed such as size, shape, area, color and texture to identify the seed type, a process that is tedious and labor-intensive.

In order to tackle such a scenario, the idea of domain randomization i. e. the technique of applying models trained on images containing simulated objects to real-world objects, is considered.
