The applicability of informative textural features for the detection of factors negatively influencing the growth of wheat on aerial images

Abstract

Automated processing of aerospace information makes it possible to effectively solve scientific and applied problems in cartography, ecology, oceanology, exploration and development of minerals, agriculture and forestry, and many other areas. At the same time, the main way to extract information is to decipher images, which are the main carrier of information about the area. Aerospace images are a combination of natural texture regions and man-made objects. This article discusses methods for analyzing texture images. The main tasks of the analysis of texture areas include the selection and formation of features that describe texture differences, the selection and segmentation of texture areas, the classification of texture areas, and the identification of an object by texture. Depending on the features of the texture areas of the images used, segmentation methods based on area analysis can be divided into statistical, structural, fractal, spectral, and combined methods. The article discusses textural features for the analysis of texture images, and defines informative textural features to identify negative factors for crop growth. To solve the tasks, textural features are used. Much attention is paid to the development of software tools that allow to highlight the features that describe the differences in textures for the segmentation of texture areas. This approach is universal and has great potential on the studied aerospace image to identify objects and boundaries of regions with different properties using clustering based on images of the same surface area taken in different vegetation periods. That is, the question of the applicability of sets of texture features and other parameters for the analysis of experimental data is being investigated.

Analyzing Disease and Pest Dynamics in Steppe Crop Using Structured Data

“…The study is significant due to several contextual factors and challenges facing agriculture [1] in Kazakhstan, especially in its steppe regions [2]. The steppe regions of Kazakhstan are crucial for the country's agriculture, mainly grain and livestock farming [3]. These areas are vast and often subject to a variety of biotic stresses, such as pests and diseases [4], which can significantly impact productivity and sustainability.…”

Fire detection using deep learning methods

“…One approach is to classify satellite [4], [5] and FireWatch sensor images for fire and smoke detection. For this, deep neural networks such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) [6], [7] can be used, which can automatically extract features from images and classify [8]- [10] them as containing fires or not. Another approach is to process radiometric sounding (RS) data, which can be used to detect signs associated with fires, such as temperature and brightness.…”

Analysis of Formal Concepts for Verification of Pests and Diseases of Crops Using Machine Learning Methods

“…Agriculture plays a key role in ensuring food security and sustainable development of society. However, crop pests and diseases have a major impact on crop yields and product quality [1], [2], threatening the efficiency and productivity of the agricultural sector [3]. Pest and disease control is one of the most important tasks of modern agriculture [4].…”

“…NDVI is an index that helps assess the density and health of vegetation. The NDWI is a numerical metric used in the field of Earth remote sensing to detect water surfaces and estimate soil moisture and vegetation on the Earth's surface (2). NDWI can detect the presence of water in remote sensing images and estimate its distribution…”
