Weed Detection in lawn field

Weeding is an essential operation for maintaining the beauty of lawn fields such as a golf course and a garden. Specifying weed area is important for weeding, because wide chemical spray is not desirable. However, it is not easy to detect green color weed in green color lawn field as shown in Fig.1. To find the weed area, a machine vision algorithm have been developed by using of textural analysis (Fig.2) (Kondo et al., 1995d; Ahmad et al., 1996; Ahmad et al., 1997a; Ahmad et al., 1997b).
