Abstract(in English) In this work, three methods of lawn weeds detection based on various image processing techniques, Bayesian classifier, morphology operators, and gray-scale uniformity analysis based methods, were evaluated and compared by using four different seasons image datasets. In the evaluations, two types of automatic weeding systems (i.e., chemical and non-chemical based) together with the detection methods were simulated and their performances were compared. From the results, for chemical approach, the Bayesian classifier based method could destroy 80.85%-96.30% of weeds, with more than 80% of accuracy for all datasets. For non-chemical approach, its accuracy was nearly 100% for all datasets. This shows its robustness against changing in season. The morphological operator based method was the best in weeds destruction for the non-chemical based system. However, its accuracy performance ranked as the last. For gray-scale uniformity analysis method, it missed detecting a lot of weeds for winter dataset, only 31.91%-36.17% of total weeds could be destroyed. Among three detection methods, the Bayesian classifier based method can be considered as the most appropriate method for both chemical and non-chemical weeding systems.
