Real time weed detection [Student]


Introduction

Weed control is a key element in precision agriculture. In computer vision, variety of techniques are developed to detect, identify and locate weeds in different crops. Chemical weed control is widely practiced to reduce infection rates and improve crops. Targeting weeds and minimizing the exposure of the crops to sprayed agrochemicals results in high quality and safe food production.

Real Time Weed Detection using a Boosted Cascadeof Simple Features[3]

In this article, the authors present a real-time new weed detection method, through an embedded monocular vision. Their approach was based on the use of a cascade of discriminative classifiers formed by the Haar-like features.[3]
