Real-time plant discrimination and weed detection platform

该项目的目的是开发一种先进的，强大的，商业化的，基于激光的绿色植物识别和杂草检测传感器，能够识别田间不同的植物和杂草，并允许在同一通道对目标杂草进行精确的除草剂喷洒。通过结合新型多波段传感器和适应性强、可配置激光器的发展，这种首创的系统有望在目前的杂草定位方法上取得巨大进步。该项目的成果旨在实现优化杂草控制，从而提高作物产量，减少环境影响，降低除草剂抗性风险，并大幅节省成本。

The aim of this project is to develop an advanced, robust, commercially ready, laser-based green-from-green plant discrimination and weed detection sensor, capable of identifying different plants and weeds in the field, and allowing precise herbicide spraying of targeted weeds all in the same pass. Through the incorporation of novel multi-band sensors and the development of adaptable, configurable lasers, this first-of-its-kind system intends to see a dramatic improvement over current approaches to weed targeting. The outcome of the project aims to achieve optimised weed control, resulting in increased crop yields, reduced environmental impacts, decreased risk of herbicide resistance and substantial cost-savings.
