The gap in current weed management techniques is the lack of effective and precise methods for detecting and discriminating between crops and weeds. The application of active chlorophyll fluorescence sensors under complex field conditions is a significant challenge. There is a need for more advanced feature processing algorithms to overcome the limitations of conventional parameters for plant species discrimination.

Traditional large-scale uniform herbicide application has limitations, including increased chemical usage and potential risks to soil and ecological systems. Existing weed detection methods may not accurately detect small grass weeds with morphology highly similar to soybean seedlings. There is a need for a more accurate and efficient method for seedling-stage weed detection and spatial distribution mapping.
