Abstract: In recent years, agricultural workers in Japan are decreasing year by year. Also, rising the average age of agricultural workers is a problem in Japan. As a solution to this problem, there is promotion of new agriculture (smart agriculture) that realizes super-energy saving and high quality production by utilizing robot technology and IoT technology. The authors are promoting technology by operating forest drone competition and tomato harvesting robot competition. Through robot competition, we are currently paying attention to the use of drone in the agricultural field. In this research, we aim to automatic detect the number of agricultural crops by image processing from image data of aerial photographs taken by drone. In this paper, we will report a method to discriminate agricultural crops by color and to detect the number.
