Aerial video images were analyzed digitally using remote sensing image processing techniques to distinguish johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense left bracket L. right bracket Pers. ) and pigweed (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats) plots from sorghum (Sorghum bicolor left bracket L. right bracket Moench), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. ), and cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L. ) plots. Results indicate that digital video images, using off-the-shelf remote sensing image processing techniques, can distinguish between homogenous weed and crop experimental plots. Thus, it seems feasible that video remote sensing may provide accurate near-real-time information on weed infestation amounts that are mixed within actual crop plant stands.
