Abstract
Traditionally farmers monitor their crops employing their senses and experience. However, the human sensory system is inconsistent due to stress, health, and age. In this paper, we propose an agronomic application for monitoring the growth of Portos tomato seedlings using Kinect 2.0 to build a more accurate, cost-effective, and portable system. The proposed methodology classifies the tomato seedlings into four categories: The first corresponds to the seedling with normal growth at the time of germination; the second corresponds to germination that occurred days after; the third category entails exceedingly late germination where its growth will be outside of the estimated harvest time; the fourth category corresponds to seedlings that did not germinate. Typically, an expert performs this classification by analyzing ten percent of the randomly selected seedlings. In this work, we studied different methods of segmentation and classification where the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Decision Tree Classifier (DTC) showed the best performance in segmenting and classifying Portos tomato seedlings.
