Characteristics of Virus Symptoms in Chili Plants (Capsicum frutescens) Based on RGB Image Analysis

Virus infection in chili plants may cause various symptoms. The complexity of the symptoms and human vision ability often become limiting factors during disease investigations. Digital image analysis is expected to a method assist comprehensively describing plant viruses. A survey was conducted on cayenne pepper fields Southeast Sulawesi Province observe virus virtually record symptomatic using an RGB camera. split-channel used process images, followed by multidimensional scaling statistical analysis. Later on, viruses associated with were detected serologically. Single or mixed Tobacco mosaic virus, Cucumber Chili veinal mottle Pepper confirmed leaves showing yellow-mosaic digital could show variations characteristics based numbers that cannot be recognized observation visual new approach study interactions between infecting their effects has also been developed this research. This needs further validated through testing under controlled conditions, such as inoculating predetermined type virus.
