A Study on the Selection of Features, Classifiers, and Resampling in Plant Disease Detection from Leaf Images
Machine learning; Plant diseases; Texture features
Computer vision has become an integral part of modern agriculture. One of the key applications of computer vision is the automatic detection and classification of plant disease from digital images of plant leaves. In this study, we evaluate the discriminatory capability of selected texture features in identifying plant diseases from leaf images. Texture features are extracted from resized raw images. Experiments are carried out with public data sets of five different plants. Through extensive experimentation, two classifiersRandom forest and XGBoost are chosen for the evaluation. The class imbalance problem is addressed with a simple resampling. Resampling considerably improves the prediction accuracy. With the raw input images, the best feature as well as classifier depends on the plant type and the quality of the input images.
