The main requisite for weeding-thinning machine is the location of the main stem of the crop. In this study, crops and their positions were detected using image processing techniques with the aid of artificial neural networks. Morphological operations were performed to singulate different objects in the images. Several shape features were fed to artificial neural network to discriminate between...
