In this review paper we discuss the various methodologies for plant disease detection. Studies show that relying on pure naked-eye observation of experts to detect and classify diseases can be time consuming and expensive, especially in rural areas and developing countries. So we present fast, automatic, cheap and accurate image processing based solution. Solution is composed of four main phase...

Several researches in leaf identification did not include color information as features. The main reason is caused by a fact that they used green colored leaves as samples. However, for foliage plants—plants with colorful leaves, fancy patterns in their leaves, and interesting plants with unique shape—color and also texture could not be neglected. For example, Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Aureum’ and E...

Several methods to identify plants have been proposed by several researchers. Commonly, the methods did not capture color information, because color was not recognized as an important aspect to the identification. In this research, shape and vein, color, and texture features were incorporated to classify a leaf. In this case, a neural network called Probabilistic Neural network (PNN) was used a...

Leaf area index is one of the most important parameters in ecological and environmental studies. This paper presents a method for single leaf area measurement based on the counting of the leaf pixels in digital leaf image. Initially, the target leaf is put on a piece of white paper on which four endpoints of an equal-length and orthogonal cross are printed. A background color threshold is then ...

Rice field art is a large-scale art form in which people design rice fields using various kinds of ornamental rice plants with different leaf colors. Leaf color-related genes play an important role in the study of chlorophyll biosynthesis, chloroplast structure and function, and anthocyanin biosynthesis. Despite the role of different metabolites in the traditional relationship between leaf and ...

Combining image processing and artificial neural network technology, a new diagnose method of soybean leaf diseases has been proposed, which identified the methods of division algorithm and eigenvalue computation, meanwhile, established a three-level neural network model to identify the diseased spot areas. According to the characteristics of soybean leaf disease, a new diagnose method has been...

—By assuming that the most frequently occuring color in a video or a region of a video belongs to the background of the image, I propose a new algorithm for detecting foreground objects in a video. The process of detecting the foreground objects is complicated because of the fact that there may be swaying trees, objects of the background being moved around or lighting changes in the video. To d...
