Webcam Plant Detection

[CihanBosnali]

Feature Description:
Develop an algorithm to detect plants using the webcam. The intention is to put the webcam to the top of the robot, maybe on a stick, so we can get a bird's-eye like view. We want to detect the plants from this view and put them on a map for path planning.

This feature's input is a colour image.
Expected output is a mask of the image where pixels that belong to a plant are 1 and other pixels are 0.
