Differentiating between crop plants, weeds and soil in digital images is a complex task especially when the crop plants and the weeds have reached an advanced growth stage. Algorithms based on a single feature such as hue or intensity are rarely succ

The object of the work was to demonstrate individual spot treatment with spray of transplanted cauliflower from a small vehicle that could operate autonomously within a field. The only prior information required was to be the plant spacing, an approx

This paper is concerned with visual sensing for an autonomous crop protection robot, in particular the problem of finding guidance information from crop row structure. A robust method for finding crop rows in images has been presented in the author's

We describe and discuss a non-invasive 3D measurement technology based on optical stereoscopy and computer image analysis for continuous monitoring of size, position, shape, and spatial orientation of single fish in cages containing many fish. We pro

The need for high quality vegetable produce has led to the use of increasingly sophisticated equipment for grading and sorting. High speed image analysis systems have been developed at the Silsoe Research Institute which can grade produce at the rate

In an earlier paper the application of the ‘snake’-active contour method to the processing of pig images was described. It enabled touching and overlapping images of neighbouring pigs in a pen to be extracted from each other in many of the cases

Images containing animals are often difficult to process automatically because poor and variable lighting, shadows, and overlapping and touching animals lead to indistinct or incomplete boundaries. A snake is an algorithm based on the mechanics of an

This paper reviews the relationship between mechatronics and agricultural engineering. Particular characteristics of engineering in an agricultural environment are considered with regard to potential mechatronic approaches. These characteristics are
