The search for large-scale food production continues to be a global concern. In this regard, when detecting and counting plants, estimating production is an area that is explored by machine learning techniques. Given the above, this article aims to carry out a bibliographic mapping of machine learning approaches applied to plant detection and counting estimation. With this mapping, it was intended to evaluate if there are similarities between crops and techniques chosen by the authors and, in this way, to propose a model for future studies with images captured by UAVs. To achieve the proposed objective, a search string was applied to databases and the results were filtered. In this mapping, 18 papers were reported. The results showed that the state of the art indicates that Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models, mainly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), are being widely used in production counting/estimation.
