Abstract:
A computing system includes image receiving logic configured to receive image data indicative of an image of a field, ground identification logic configured to identify a first image portion of the image representing ground in the field, image segmentation logic configured to identify a remaining image portion that omits the first image portion from the image, and crop classification logic configured to apply a crop classifier to the remaining image portion and identify a second image portion of the image that represents locations of crop plants in the field. The computing system also includes weed identification logic configured to identify locations of weed plants in the field based on the identification of the first and second image portions and control signal generation logic configured to generate a machine control signal based on the identified locations of the weed plants.
