Abstract/Description:
In recent years, precision agriculture has become popular anticipating to partially meet the needs of an ever-growing population with limited resources. Plant localization and nutrient de?ciency detection are two important tasks in precision agriculture. In this dissertation, these two tasks are studied by using a new color-ratio(C-R) index technique. Firstly, a low cost and light scene invariant approach is proposed to detect green and yellow leaves based on the color-ratio (C-R) indices. A plant localization approach is then developed using the relative pixel relationships of adjacent plants. Secondly, the Sobel operator and morphology techniques are applied to segment the target strawberry leaf from a ?eld image. The characterized color for a speci?c nutrient de?ciency is detected by the C-R indices. The pattern of the detected color on the leaf is then examined to determine the speci?c nutrient de?ciency. The proposed approaches are validated in a commercial strawberry farm.
