Capteurs et images aériennes pour l’évaluation du peuplement de mauvaises herbes

AIRINOV is specialized in use of UAV for precision agriculture. Thanks to a high spatial resolution up to 1.5 cm/pixel in RGB images, discrimination between vegetation (crop row, weed) and soil can be done. Variability can be detected in weed density inside the whole field. The detection of weeds in the inter-row of hoed row crops was tested on RGB images. The methodology developed is based on Hough transform, and is composed of three main steps: image segmentation, soil/vegetation discrimination and crop rows localization. First results are promising but need complementary measures for validation.
