Apple Sweetness Measurement and Fruit Disease Prediction Using Image Processing Techniques Based on Human-Computer Interaction for Industry 4.0

Abstract

When it comes to agricultural sciences, one of the most difficult challenges to solve is the detection of diseases. Agricultural specialists study a variety of sources to detect plant issues on a regular basis. Rarely can misinterpretations of diseased plants cause improper pesticide selection and subsequent agricultural disaster, although this does happen from time to time. In order to diagnose illnesses at an early stage, it is necessary to deploy automated disease detection systems. This is critical for farmers since it is both time-consuming and expensive. A sick leaf must be carefully segmented in order to be properly separate it from the rest of the leaves. Despite digital noise, a different background, a different shape, and a different brightness, it is tough to distinguish a sick photo. In order to increase the quality of apple leaf images for disease detection and classification, a new approach known as brightness preserving dynamic fuzzy histogram equalisation (BPDFHE) has been created. To determine the sweetness of an apple, examine the leaf and the texture of the fruit. In the next section, the performance of the proposed enhancement algorithm is compared to the performance of existing enhancement approaches. Existing segmentation algorithms are outperformed by our approach for segmenting the area of interest from ill leaves against a live background. It is during this phase that we analyse the Jaccard index, the Dice coefficient, and correctness. Comparing the proposed segmentation algorithm to current approaches, it proves to be a highly effective strategy that can more efficiently identify apple ill leaves from a live background with a 99.8 percent accuracy rate.

“…Background: Earlier experts were hired for manual tree monitoring, foliage examination, and disease detection [5]. They were skilled in their domains and had complete awareness of the diseases and their treatments.…”

“…Fermi energy-based segmentation technique has been suggested to separate the infected area of the image from its surroundings [29]. Based on the field experts' opinions, the signs of the disease are illustrated with features like color, shape as well as the location of the infected segment as well as extracted by developing new algorithms [30]. To shrink the difficulty of the classifier, important features are selected using Rough Set Theory (RST) to minimize the loss of information [31].…”
