In order to determine the percent crop residue cover using ImageJ image processing software and Labview Vision Assistant Module, photographs were taken with a digital camera of the intelligent mobile phone from various places of a field covered with wheat surface residues. At the end of study, the mean percent crop residue cover using meter stick method, line transect method, image processing software ImageJ and Labview Vision Assistant Module were determined as 44.13%, 50.72%, 56.56% and 64.49%, respectively. Variance analysis showed that the difference between the results obtained from the line transect method and ImageJ is statistically insignificant while the differences between the results obtained from these methods and the other methods are significant.
