Weed mapping in early-season maize fields using object-based analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images.

The use of remote imagery captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has tremendous potential for designing detailed site-specific weed control treatments in early post-emergence, which have not possible previously with conventional airborne or satellite images. A robust and entirely automatic objec...
