SOLUTION
Our team developed a tractor-mountable computer vision module that detects weeds in Eucalyptus plantations in real-time as herbicide is sprayed. To this end, we selected components, designed and built the image acquisition system and embedded processing module.
As the machine operates, a video of the planted line is fed to the embedded computer, where image processing algorithms and a deep-learning model run in real time to detect and locate weeds in order to enable targeted spraying.
