This paper describes an improved algorithm for segmentation of green vegetation under uncontrolled illumination conditions and also suitable for resource-constrained real-time applications. The proposed algorithm uses a naïve Bayesian model to effectively combine various manually extracted features from two different color spaces namely RGB and HSV. The evaluation of 100 images indicated the better performance of the proposed algorithm than the vegetation index-based methods with comparable execution time. Moreover, the proposed algorithm performed better than the state-of the- art EASA-based algorithms in terms of processing time and memory usage.
