Abstract
With a growing population demanding more food, and an agricultural community constrained by lack of land and water while battling demands for greater sustainability the challenge of feeding the world is falling at the feet of engineers. Computer vision will allow agricultural machinery to spray crops with less pesticides as they can differentiate between the weeds and the crops.
