The Morphologic-Aware Self Adaptive (MASA) System with Image Analysis Technique for Zoysiagrass Managements

Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) is one of the most popularly cultivated grasses for sports and recreational environments, particularly in warm region. Zoysiagrass has a tardiness of vegetative propagation compared to other turfgrass. Thus farmers and green keepers want to quickly recognize the field information for management. We discuss the design of a Morphologic-Aware Self-Adaptive (MASA) system for zoysiagrass agricultural business. MASA system with image analysis technique is able to rapidly detect grass blade color and length variations caused by changing climate and environment stress. In the future, farmers and green keepers will be able to have smart-farming and smart-management with MASA system.
