Weed Classification using Histogram Maxima with Threshold for Selective Herbicide Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information on weed distribution within the field is necessary to implement spatially variable herbicide application. Since hand labor is costly, an automated weed control system could be feasible. This paper deals with the development of an algorithm for real time specific weed recognition system based on Histogram Maxima with threshold of an image that is used for the weed classification. This algorithm is specifically developed to classify images into broad and narrow class for real-time selective herbicide application. The developed system has been tested on weeds in the lab, which have shown that the system to be very effectiveness in weed identification. Further the results show a very reliable performance on images of weeds taken under varying field conditions. The analysis of the results shows over 95 percent classification accuracy over 140 sample images (broad and narrow) with 70 samples from each category of weeds. Keywords—Image processing, real-time recognition, weed detection.

متن کاملAutomated weed classification with local pattern-based texture descriptors
In conventional cropping systems, removal of weed population extensively relies on the application of chemical herbicides. However, this practice should be minimized because of the adverse effects of herbicide applications on environment, human health, and other living organisms. In this context, if the distribution of broadleaf and grass weeds could be sensed locally with a machine vision syst...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of a Real Time Site-Specific Inter-Row Weed Management System
ABSTRACT- A real-time, site-specific, machine-vision based, inter-row patch herbicide application system was developed and evaluated. The image resolution was 640 × 480 pixels covering a total area of 350 mm x 240 mm of a field composed of four quadrants of 350 mm x 60 mm each. The image frames were processed by LabView® and MatLab®. The developed algorithm, based on weed coverage ratio and seg...
متن کاملValidation of the utilization of a specific spray machine to apply general herbicide (Glyphosate) for controlling weeds in chickpea farms in dry land areas of Iran
Weeds are a serious problem of chickpea cultivation in rain-fed areas of Iran and economic feasibility of crop production is mostly challenged by the method of control. In this study, two types of weed control strategies which are common in the country, including hand removing and hand removing + mechanical application, were compared with application of general herbicide (Glyphosite) using a sp...
متن کاملTexture-Based Weed Classification Using Gabor Wavelets and Neural Network for Real-time Selective Herbicide Applications
A novel texture-based weed classification method was developed. The method comprised a low-level Gabor wavelets-based feature extraction algorithm and a high-level neural network-based pattern recognition algorithm. The design strategy simulated the function of the human visual system, which uses low-level receptors for early stage vision processing and high-level cognition for pattern recognit...
