Abstract
The "WaterHyacinth" dataset, a recently gathered collection of images featuring four distinct species of Water hyacinth from different regions of Bangladesh, is presented in this article. There are four different classifications: Lemna minor, Eichhornia crassipes, Monochoria korsakowii, and Pistia stratiotes. The collection consists of 1,790 original images and in addition 4,050 augmented photos of Water hyacinth species. Every original picture was captured with the appropriate background and in sufficient natural light. Every image was correctly placed in its corresponding subfolder, providing optimal use of the pictures by various machine learning and deep learning models. Researchers could make major progress in agriculture, environmental monitoring, aquatic science, and remote sensing domains by utilizing this enormous dataset and various machine learning and deep learning approaches. In addition to opening opportunities for significant developments in these domains, it offers an essential asset for further study.
