A new and improved unsupervised plant segmentation index (ExGExR) is introduced. ExGRxR performance was compared with the traditional excess green segmentation method (ExG), using Otsu's method for automatic threshold. Segmentation accuracies were measured with a quality index, using a ground truth target plant mask, hand-generated for each image. Statistical results showed that there were significant differences in performance with bare soil backgrounds during the first week for pigweed and velvetleaf. For corn stalk residue, there were significant differences for all species during the first week and also significant differences during the second week for pigweed and velvetleaf. Using wheat straw residue background, there were significant differences for all species all three weeks. In general, the algorithm performed better than the ExG index for segmenting plants from soil-residues background. aImage analysis aNo-tillage aPlanta aResíduo aAnálise de imagem aColor index aÍndice de cor aSegmentação aSegmentation1 aMEYER, G.
