Integration of Color Features and Artificial Neural Networks for In-field Recognition of Saffron Flower

s developed in this study based on image processing techniques to recognize and locate saffron flowers in the field. Color features of the images in HSI and YC rCbcolor spaces were used to detect the flowers. High pass filters were used to eliminate noise from the segmented
