The performance of several commercial and experimental software packages (Gotas, StainMaster, ImageTool, StainAnalysis, AgroScan, DropletScan and Spray_imageI and II) that produce indicators of crop spraying quality based on the image processing of water-sensitive papers used as artificial targets were compared against known coverage, droplet size spectra and class size distribution verified through manual counting. A number of artificial targets used to test the software were obtained by controlled spray applications and given droplet density between 14 and 108 drops cm(-2) and a wide range of droplet size spectra. The results showed that artificial targets coupled with an appropriate image system can be an accurate technique to compute spray parameters. The between-methods differences were 6.7% for droplet density, 11.5% for volume median diameter, <3% for coverage (%) and <3% coverage density. For the 16 droplet class size distribution tested the between-methods differences were all <15%. However, most of the image analysis systems were not effective in accurately measuring coverage density when coverage rate is greater than about 17%. The Spray_imageII software estimated the coverage density with a mean absolute error of 2% and the absolute error is below 10%, even with about 43% of coverage rate. This software, when compared to the other programmes tested, provided the best accuracy for coverage and droplet size spectrum as well as for droplet class size distribution. (C) 2011 IAgrE.
