Weeding overview

Begin:

• Calibrate camera: determine pixel location to coordinate conversion parameters
• Get data: locations and sizes of known plants
• Move: to first location in bed to begin taking photos to cover the planting area

Repeat:

Execute Plant Detection:

---

• Take photo
• Detect plants in photo: use OpenCV
• Convert plant pixel locations to coordinates: use parameters previously calibrated
• Identify plants:
  • Desired plants are plants within radius of known plants
  • Weeds are plants outside known plant regions
• Save plants:
  • Update plant data: locations and sizes in database
  • Save weed locations: coordinates to database for removal

---

• Move: to next location for next photo and plant detection using sequence builder

End:

• Remove plants: use sequence builder with weeder
