Rules for vegetation segmentation based on the HSI colour model and TSV pictures

Comment: hue, saturation, and intensity are the three elements in the TSV picture

Comment: vegetation is the vegetation segmentation results

Step 1: Transform the colour space of the TSV images from RGB to HSI

Step 2: Separate hue, saturation and intensity from the transformed image

Step 3: Extract vegetation pixels from the image

for each pixel [i, j] in hue:

if hue [i, j] > 75 AND hue [i, j] < 170:

Mark hue [i, j] as a green vegetation pixel huemark [i, j]

Step 4: Reconstruct huemark, saturation and intensity as a mask

Step 5: Mask out vegetation from the original image
