This paper reports on recent results obtained from research into the development of an advanced proof-of-concept real-time plant discrimination system based on discrete spectral reflectance measurements for green-from-green plant discrimination. The developed system is tested for the discrimination of Anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) from Sunkisses (Ipomoea batatas var. sunkisses) and Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale).
Experimental results show that practical green-from-green discrimination at a farming vehicle speed of 3 km/h can be achieved. At higher speeds, due to identified hardware limitations, the discrimination capability and accuracy declines.
