Abstract:

About 15% of sugarcane leaf is defective because of diseases, it reduces the quantity and quality of sugarcane production significantly. Early detection and estimation of plant disease is a way to control these diseases and minimize the severe infection. This paper proposes a model to identify
the severity of certain spot disease which appear on leaves based on segmented spot. The segmented spot is obtained by thresholding a* component of L*a*b* color space. Diseases
spots are extracted with maximum standard deviation of segmented spot that use for detection the type of disease using classification techniques. The classifier is a Support Vector Machine (SVM) which uses L*a*b* color space for its color features and Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) as its texture features. This proposed model capable to determine the types of spot diseases with accuracy of 80% and 5.73 error severity estimation average.
