Development of an autonomous crop inspection mobile robot system

In this paper, an autonomous crop inspection mobile robot has been developed for greenhouse application using vision system. This project offers low cost vision system that is applicable in agriculture field. By using two units of low cost webcam, a robot vision system was developed for this project. Robot vision is used for two purposes: navigation and inspection. Users will be able to control this system by using Graphical User Interface that was designed. Aforge.Net image processing library has been selected as image processing library for this system. This project was written in C# language. As the outcome, the mobile robot was able to navigate in the path created and able to capture, process and store the crop image in the computer for further inspection.
