Wavelet Frequency Transformation for Specific Weeds Recognition

Abstract

Saudi Arabia is experiencing depleting water level which ultimately leading to having reduced level of weed and crops farms. The ongoing practice of watering for all kind of weeds at farms is manual which is laborious and slow besides waste of unregulated use of water. Therefore, there arises the need of automated water control, making the automated watering system as the viable option for precision weed control system. This paper has presented the development of real-time automated water sprinkle system for the target weeding area. The technique of wavelet frequency is developed as a software interface using MATLAB program detecting need of water sprinkling from the pictures of the leaves obtained. Software-based results are applied to hardware for real-time grass detection and classification based on shape and density due to reason that the leaves may be wide open, shrunk and leaves those with curved in features. The real-time system is capable of thus deciding the proportionate amount of water needed to be sprinkled over the weeds using a purposely developed hardware system. The system can detect areas where more, more or less water is needed, through a high-accuracy connected camera.
