Crop-Row Detector for Automatic Guidance Systems (Part 2)

Analysis of Practicable Method for Crop-row Detection

Abstract

In this part, the crop-row detecting method was improved, and studied about two-rows detection and one-row detection. In the experiments, a tractor equipped with a video camera was driven, and crop-rows were detected by using continuous images captured with the camera. As a result of the experiments, in the two-rows detection, detecting errors sometimes became large. On the other hand, the one-row detection was more accurate than two-rows detection. Regarding processing time, both methods were fast enough for practical use.
