Abstract
A method for classifying plants for agricultural purposes. The method includes: detecting a field section having plants using an optical detection unit inclined toward the field section to obtain image information having a rear image edge having an image width and a front image edge having a larger image width; classifying the plants in the image information into first and second plant classes using an algorithm to treat the plants of the second plant class with a liquid spray agent, in accordance with the classification. The step of classifying comprises a step of reclassifying, in which classified plants are reclassified from the second plant class to the first plant class using the algorithm if they extend in a rear image section of the image information defined by a defined image separation line from a lateral image edge of the image information maximally up to a defined reclassification boundary line.
