Multiclass Classification on Soybean and Weed Species Using a Novel Customized Greenhouse Robotic and Hyperspectral Combination System

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) effectively differentiates soybeans from five weed species. A robotic platform captured HSI data, which was analyzed using partial least squares regression (PLSR). The best model achieved 86.2% accuracy in classification, identifying key wavelengths linked to plant chemicals. This research shows promise for automated weed control in soybean fields.

Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus Palmeri S. Watson) and soybean (glycine max l.) classification in greenhouse using hyperspectral imaging and chemometrics methods

Hyperspectral imaging can effectively differentiate Palmer amaranth from soybeans. Chemometrics methods (PLS-DA, SIMCA) were used to analyze spectral data. Preliminary results show promise for using this technology to improve weed control in agriculture.
