7 Issues with Weed Control Methods Difficult to harvest Disadvantage of uniform spraying Uneconomical Affects crop health Environmental Pollution Resistance to sprays

8 Resistance to sprays Survey website at on September 13 th, 2015.

9 Weeds are a Problem o Weed destroys 15-20% or in some cases up to 50% of the crop 1 o Uniform spraying is uneconomical o Control Period of weeds is first days 1. Pakissan.com,. 'Integrated Weed Management In Rice :: Pakistan Agricultural News Chennal-:PAKISSAN.Com:-'. N.p., Web. 17 May 2015.

17 Experimental setup & Dataset

18 Experimental Setup Setup MATLAB bit Windows 8 64 bit 4 GB RAM Core i5 1.70GHz Processor LibSVM and RF Dataset Images taken height of 2-4 ft. Angle of capture is 90 degrees Image resolution is 1920x1080

19 Technique 1 Using Wavelet Transform involving Blur Detection

20 Overall Technique Video Extract Every Nth Frame(Image) Blur Blur Detection Module Trained SVM Model Non-Blur Weed Detection Module Output image Calculate Weed Coverage

21 Blur Detection Dataset blur/non-blur labelled images Get image one by one Convert RGB to Gray Calculate Discrete Laplacian Min, max, std Extract Features Train SVM (Batch Training) Linear SVM Model

22 Weed Detection Input image Excessive green image Wavelet Transform Thresholding on Diagonal Coefficients Inverse Wavelet Transform Dilation Remove small regions Output image

23 Steps 1-3 Original Image Excessive Green Image Diagonal Coefficient Diagonal Coefficient(Filtered)

24 Steps 4-5 Dilation

25 Accuracy & FPR Total Frames = 1717 Total Frames processed = 172 Non-blur frames detected = 67 Accuracy of blur detection = 84.88% FPR of blur detection = 18.46% Weed Detection Accuracy = 68.95% FPR = 12.69% Weed Detection Accuracy after blur removal = 76.16% (8% increase) FPR = 13.38%

26 Weakness Accuracy drops drastically when texture difference decreases with the growth of grass

27 Technique 2 Using SVM and Random forest with Moments

28 Dataset-2 Density Based

29 Weed Detection Density Based Dataset Extract Green channel from RGB Calculate Mean,variance,kurtosis,skew Calculate complex moments Train Classifier (Batch Training) Calculate n-fold cross validation

30 Accuracy Accuracy Using First Four Moments Linear kernel RBF kernel Random Forest No. of Iterations Accuracy: 82.22% RBF Kernel SVM C=8, g=0.25

31 Accuracy Accuracy Using Complex Moments Linear kernel RBF kernel Random Forest No. of Iterations Accuracy: 81.42% random forests with 300 trees

32 Accuracy Accuracy Using Combined Moments Linear kernel RBF kernel Random Forest No. of Iterations Accuracy: 86.06% RF With 300 trees

33 Comparisons Accuracy and Execution Time

34 Accuracy Accuracy Moments Feature set GLCM feature set Linear kernel RBF kernel Random Forest Type of classifiers Accuracy: 86.06% RF With 300 trees Moments Feature Set

35 Execution time in seconds Execution Time Linear SVM kernel RBF SVM kernel Random forests Wavelet Transform with blur detection Moments GLCM features Wavelet Transform Less feature extraction Time

36 Conclusion Strengths Different densities of grasses Multiple backgrounds (dry soil, muddy soil, straw/stalk) Grasses are a common weed in other crops such as cotton. Limitations First technique dependents on growth stage Threshold of dilation, area removal needs to determined. Limited to a single type of weed
