Machine vision guidance systems have been developed for work in a variety of crops. Sensor performance has a significant impact on the performance of the resulting algorithm. In this project, a Duncan Technologies MS2150 multisensor camera (NIR, R, G) was used to collect images of grass hay, collard greens and spinach. The resulting images were processed in MATLAB using a novel algorithm. Initial results indicate favorable performance of the algorithm in the green crops tested.
