This section reviews the approaches for the automation of weed detection. Site-specific plant protection needs to address the varying weed infestation, but the automation is only partially solved and research is still ongoing. The properties for plant species distinction as well as approaches that use them are presented. The focus is on image based methods, of which an example is given.
