Detection of Plant Leaf Diseases Using K?mean++ Intermeans Thresholding Algorithm

Abstract

In the field of agricultural information, the plant leaf disease detection is highly important for both farmer life and environment. To improve the accuracy of plant leaf disease detection and reduce the image processing time, the improved K-mean++ clustering and intermeans thresholding method are proposed in this study. The proposed algorithms are used for training and testing diseases in plant leaf images in two different databases. Of the proposed methods, the intermeans algorithm will be selected based on different thresholding values. The optimal value of thresholding-i.e., the intermeans algorithm-will help increase the accuracy and speed of classifying diseases in plant leaf images. This method will be also used with unseen images of plant leaf. The experimental result of the detection of plant leaf diseases achieves an average detection accuracy of 98.10%. When compared with the results based on standard K-mean clustering, the current method gives better results around 23.20%. The proposed algorithm is more effective than the standard algorithms for detecting plant leaf diseases, as well as the reduction in cots in the computational power of computers.

Rapid Detection of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Soil Using Advanced Fluorescence Imaging Techniques

“…Only when grayscale changes are apparent can the object’s outline be clearly observed. In this study, we explored the Otsu algorithm, 25 and thresholds were used to divide the original image into foreground and background images. Optimal thresholds should be determined by the differences between the background and the foreground.…”

A Review of Recent Advances in Brain Tumor Diagnosis Based on AI-Based Classification

“…A new technique for segmenting brain tumors using the fuzzy Otsu thresholding morphology (FOTM) approach was presented by Wisaeng and Sa-Ngiamvibool [90]. The values from each single histogram in the original MRI image were modified by using a color normalizing preprocessing method in conjunction with histogram specification.…”

The Automatic Brain Tumor Segmentation Based on MRI Using Optimal Morphology Thresholding Methods

“…Primarily, the brain tumors are medically diagnosed. Thus, the algorithms for the automatic segmentation of the images applied to computerized tomography (CT) scan [1], positron emission tomography (PET) scan [2,3] and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] for segmenting the images of the brain tumors from the images of CT, PET and MRI, respectively. There are preprocessing and post processing developments.…”

“…However, the accuracy and reliability of the brain tumors segmentation and its iteration were important problems of the applications in this algorithm. Therefore, the segmentation with the fuzzy c-means (FCM) and the neural networks were proposed for more accurately and reliably segmenting parts from the MRI images as well as preventing duplicated segmentations [5,6]. There was also the feature extraction for identifying the brain tumors from the MRI images with the neuro fuzzy classifier [7].…”
