Abstract
System and techniques for detecting a crop related row from an image are described herein. An image that includes several rows—where the several rows including crop rows and furrows—can be obtained. The image can be segmented to produce a set of image segments. A filter can be shifted across respective segments of the set of image segments to get a set of positions. A line can be fit members of the set of positions, the line representing a crop row or furrow.
