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.
