“…It is required to determine the threshold required by the Hough transform to determine maximum peaks values (Jones, Gée, & Truchetet, 2009a, 2009b or predominant peaks (Rovira-Más, Zhang, Reid, & Will, 2005). Depending on the crop densities several lines could be feasible and a posterior merging process is applied to lines with similar parameters Tellaeche et al, 2011). Although intended for real-time, as mentioned before, in our images, where crop and weed plants contribute on the Hough parameter estimation, this method becomes computationally expensive (Ji, & Qi, 2011).…”
