Using UAS Imagery and Computer Vision to Support Site-Specific Weed Control in Corn

Ranjan Sapkota, Paulo Flores

Currently, weed control in a corn field is performed by a blanket application of herbicides that do not consider spatial distribution information of weeds and also uses an extensive amount of chemical herbicides. To reduce the amount of chemicals, we used drone-based high-resolution imagery and computer-vision techniques to perform site-specific weed control in corn.
