5. Methodology:
Methodology description:
● When the machine is starts to carry out the weed removal process, first it
captures an image of small part of the field which is called as the target area.
The target area will have mainly three component soil, crop and/or weed.
● Next the captured image is processed so as to distinguish crop and weed in
the farm. For the image processing (RBG technique) is used.
● The key understanding in RGB technique is that it is a composite of three
grayscale independent images that corresponds to intensity of green, red and
blue.
● The steps involved are:
▪ Reading of the input image
▪ Generating red, green and blue color bands of the image.
▪ Conversion of RGB image into grayscale and then to binary image
using thresholding process.
▪ Recognizing the boundaries of an object.
▪ Bounding box of colored objects.
● Hence we have weed distinguished from rest of crops in the farm.
● Then we are using raspberry pi based robot for the machine arm movements ,
weed holding operation, removal process of weed and for its movements in
surrounding.
6. Industry collaboration: Yes
If Yes,
● Market Survey (50 Words)
▪ India loses agriculture produce worth several hundred crores of rupees every
year to weeds.
▪ As they compete with crop for nutrients, sunshine, waters and other inputs like
fertilizers and manure due to which our desired crop is not properly nourished.
▪ For small field manual removing works but on large scale, farmers opt to
spray weedicides these are chemicals which kills the weed and for sure will
have some effect on our crop too.
