Smart Spot Spray System

Hello Everyone Here we are trying to make farmer job easy by using computer vision. We are making here a smart spray system which can distinguish between crop and weeds and spray to individual weeds, capable of giving selective weed control using non selective herbicides, hot water, vinegar or other solution based on placement. We are also building app for smart phones which will serve as decision support system. Soon will be available at app stores.
