Resumen
Plant diseases and pests may seriously affect the yield of crops and even threaten the survival of human beings. The characteristics of plant diseases and insect pests are mainly reflected in the occurrence of lesions on crop leaves. Machine vision disease detection is of great significance for the early detection and prevention of plant diseases and insect pests. A fast detection method for lesions based on a single-channel gravitational kernel density clustering algorithm was designed to examine the complexity and ambiguity of diseased leaf images. Firstly, a polynomial was used to fit the R-channel feature histogram curve of a diseased leaf image in the RGB color space, and then the peak point and peak area of the fitted feature histogram curve were determined according to the derivative attribute. Secondly, the cluster numbers and the initial cluster center of the diseased leaf images were determined according to the peak area and peak point. Thirdly, according to the clustering center of the preliminarily determined diseased leaf images, the single-channel gravity kernel density clustering algorithm in this paper was used to achieve the rapid segmentation of the diseased leaf lesions. Finally, the experimental results showed that our method could segment the lesions quickly and accurately.
