A system uses an optical sensor and an image processing apparatus to map emerged plants in a field. The optical sensor collects at least one image of a field of emerged plants. The image processing apparatus analyzes the image to detect areas of vegetation and creates a vegetation map indicative of the detected areas. The image processing element then analyzes the vegetation map to identify emerged plants within the image and creates at least map indicating locations of the emerged plants in the field. Such map may be used to make efficient crop management decisions based on the actual layout of emerged plants in the field.
