Abstract: 
Seed detection and classification play a crucial role in the agriculture domain, and artificial intelligence has been increasingly combined with agriculture in various sectors. Manual seed detection and classification are time-consuming and less accurate compared to automated methods. Several research works have been conducted on automatic seed detection and classification using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. This review examined ten experimental research works focusing on seed detection and classification using these algorithms. The approaches, contributions, datasets, data preprocessing, algorithms, results, and limitations of each work were reviewed and presented. The survey revealed that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are the most frequently chosen algorithms for seed classification, with 93% of the reviewed works using CNN for comparing and evaluating their models. Based on the in-depth survey, four recommendations are made for consideration in future experimental analyses of seed detection and classification. These findings highlight the importance of artificial intelligence in advancing seed detection and classification techniques in the agriculture domain.
