Study on leave image processing with application in herbal classification and early detection of chili plant disease

2016 , Zulkifli Husin

Herbs have been widely used in food preparation, medicine and cosmetic industry. Knowing which herbs to be used would be very important in these applications. The current way of identification and determination of the types of herbs however, is still being done manually and prone to human error. Designing a convenient and automatic recognition system of herbs species is essential since this will improve herb species classification efficiency. Chili (Capsicum Annum and Capsicum Frutescen) is an important fruiting vegetable used in majority of Asian dishes. Chili cultivation has been a very difficult and meticulous task due to its vulnerability to various attacks frommicro-organisms, bacterial disease and pests which leave distinguished marks on leaves, stems or fruits. Current manual method applies pesticides and chemicals indiscriminately throughout the farm. To improve the process, development of an automated disease detection is essential. There are a few research that have been done in classification of the plant species using certain factors (leaf shape and size). The classification are accomplished through several image processing techniques. However, the literature shows that there are still a gap in classifying the herb plants species. Therefore, this research focuses on classification approach to the shape, texture features and colors of the herbs leaves. The combination of techniques used in morphology image processing i.e. SVD and skeleton would be able to classify the species of herb regardless of the shape and size. In addition, the techniques demonstrate the capability to detect early plant chili disease through leaf features inspection using HSV colour model technique. The proposed herbs species recognition system employs neural networks algorithm and image processing techniques to perform classification on twenty herbs species. One hundred samples for each species went through the system and the recognition accuracy was at 98.9%. Most importantly the system is capable of identifying the herbs leaves species even though they are dried, wet, torn or deformed. Additionally, a novel method of early automatic recognition for plant chili disease based on color and texture features using a HSV color model and BPNN technique via intelligent decision support system is presented in this research. The proposed system employs image processing technique on one thousand chili plant samples and the recognition accuracy was at 97.7%. The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed methods in recognizing herbs plant and detecting early plant chili disease are demonstrated by the experiments.

Plants such as herbs are widely used in the medical and cosmetic industry. Recognizing a species and detecting an early disease of a plant are quite challenging and difficult to implement as an automated device. The manual identification process is a lengthy process and requires a prior understanding about the plant itself, such as shape, odour, and texture. Thus, this research aimed to realize the computerized method to recognize the species and detect early disease of the herbs by referring to these characteristics. This research has been developed a system for recognizing the species and detecting the early disease of the herbs using computer vision and electronic nose, which focus on odour, shape, colour and texture extraction of herb leaves, together with a hybrid intelligent system that are involved fuzzy inference system, naïve Bayes (NB), probabilistic neural network (PNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifier. These techniques were used to perform a convenient and effective herb species recognition and early disease detection on ten different herb species samples. The species recognition accuracy rate among ten different species using computer vision and electronic nose is archived 97% and 96%, respectively, in SVM, 98% and 98%, respectively, in PNN and both 94% in NB. In the early disease detection, the detection rate among ten different herb’s species using computer vision and electronic nose are 98% and 97%, respectively, in SVM, both 98% in PNN, 95% and 94%, respectively, in NB. Integrated three machine learning approaches have successfully achieved almost 99% for recognition and detection rate.

Intelligent routing protocols for IoV have also been made possible by the convergence of IoT and machine learning algorithm. In order to make informed routing decisions, these intelligent routing protocols examine data gathered from IoT devices like vehicle sensors and traffic monitoring systems using machine learning algorithms. Moreover, as the number of vehicles increases and road networks become more complex, traditional routing protocols for ad hoc networks are being replaced by more advanced and efficient protocols. The purpose of this study is to concentrate on these unique qualities of IoVs network scenario. A combined routing method has been developed to construct periodic connectivity and find routes on-demand in order to save route data as graphs. The simulation's findings show that GreedLea routing protocol outperforms GPSR and AODV routing protocols in terms of delay and packet delivery ratio (PDR). The results demonstrate that the average AODV latency is significantly higher when there are fewer vehicles on the network. This is due to the fact that connections are frequently lost at higher speeds and lower densities, and re-establishing new channels takes a lot of time. As the number of vehicles rises, efficiency improves and the wait gets shorter. The average latency, yet, keeps increasing as vehicle density increases due to the additional overheads related with routing.

Detection of excessive pesticide residue detection is a serious problem for food regulators, suppliers, and consumers. It is very important to determine which chilli are contaminated with pesticides, and the current method of identifying and determining pesticide residues in chilli is still done using laboratory equipment. To overcome this problem, this study attempted to develop a method to detect pesticide residues in chilli samples using an eight different type of electronic nose based on a readily available metal oxide gas sensor. The proposed system used noise filtering, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm along with a realtime data acquisition system that uses a computer to perform pesticide residue detection on the chilli sample. Two hundred forty samples of chilli sample with different pesticide concentrations went through the system and the accuracy rate achieved a success rate of 89.58% using the LSTM algorithm. The proposed method is expected to help the food processing industry to determine food contamination for producing clean and healthy food. The validation and feasibility of the proposed method for the determination of pesticide residues in chilli have been demonstrated by experiments.

2022-01-01 , Tan Wei Keong , Muhammad Amir Hakim Ismail , Zulkifli Husin , Muhammad Luqman Yasruddin

The tomato grading is based on the skin colour at the grading stage. The evaluation of the colour used to classify tomatoes is very important, and the current methods of identifying and determining tomato varieties are still manual and prone to human error. The ability to automate tomato grading helps the food industry determine colour grades during the evaluation phase. Therefore, Computer Vision (CV) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) are utilised to grade tomatoes by determining their maturity colour. Three hundred tomatoes were selected and its maturity level are assigned by expertise. The tomato images are captured, processed and passed to the DNN classifier to determine the tomato grade. The proposed DNN classifier achieved the mAP percentage of 95.52%. This shows that the computer vision built into the DNN algorithm can provide an efficient implementation for predicting tomato grade.
