Research Abstract

For management of pastures, it is important to understand situation of them such as kinds and mass of herbage, weed, bare ground and dead material. However it is very difficult because pastures are large. In this study, images of a large pasture were collected by running vehicle with a camera. And these images were analyzed with machine vision technics for estimating situation in the field.
