A multi-operation system was developed to improve the productivity and working hours of an intelligent greenhouse. The multi-operation robot is composed of a running unit, a growth diagnosis unit, a pest detection unit, a pollination unit, and a harvesting unit. In this study, we propose a system for monitoring the pest population by capturing an image of a trap sheet and recognizing it automatically. For the experimental data set, trap sheet images were collected in an intelligent greenhouse and the image processing engine that recognizes the number of trapped pests was tested. A standard deviation of 9.26 in the difference between the image processing result and the correct answer data was obtained from processing the images and from their subsequent analysis. The proposed system made it practical to collect the detailed mapping data of pest populations in and around a field.
