An extensive review on crop/weed classification models

Crop and weed identification remains a challenge for unmanned weed control. Due to the small range between the chopping tine and the important crop location, weed identification against the annual crops must be extremely exact. This study endeavor included a literature evaluation, which included the most important 50 research publications in IEEE, Science Direct, and Springer journals. From 2012 until 2022, all of these papers are gathered. In fact, the diagnosis steps include: preprocessing, feature extraction, and crop/weed classification. This research analyzes the 50 research articles in several aspects, such as the dataset used for evaluations, different strategies used for pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification to get a clear picture of them. Furthermore, each work’s high performance in accuracy, sensitivity, and precision is demonstrated. Furthermore, the present hurdles in crop and weed identification are described, which serve as a benchmark for upcoming researchers.
