Computer vision technology in agricultural automation —A review

Computer vision is a field that involves making a machine “see”. This technology uses a camera and computer instead of the human eye to identify, track and measure targets for further image processing. With the development of computer vision, such technology has been widely used in the field of agricultural automation and plays a key role in its development. This review systematically summarizes and analyzes the technologies and challenges over the past three years and explores future opportunities and prospects to form the latest reference for researchers. Through the analyses, it is found that the existing technology can help the development of agricultural automation for small field farming to achieve the…
