Traditional weeds controlling tended to be spraying herbicides in all the fields. Such method not only requires huge quantities of herbicides but impact environment and humans health. In this paper, we propose a new method of crop/weeds discrimination using imagery provided by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This method is based on the vegetation skeleton, the Hough transform and the spatial relationship of superpixels created by the simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC). The combination of the spatial relationship of superpixels and their positions in the detected crop lines allows to detect intraline weeds. Our method shows its robustness in presence of weed patches close to crop lines as well as for the detection of crop lines as for weed detection.
