Fuzzy detection orange tree leaves diseases using a co-occurrence matrix-based K-nearest neighbours classifiers

Abstract

The improvement of production efficiency in the farming environment is nowadays of a great interest in the agriculture industry. Several techniques and technologies are used to overcome the main problems facing the developments on this field. In this paper, the farms image processing-based automatic monitoring is treated. We propose an image processing approach for lemon tree leaves diseases. Our approach is a combination of a fuzzy decision maker and KNN classifiers based on Haralick parameters extracted from the co-occurrence matrix. The testing results are very satisfactory and the efficiency of our system could reach aver than 90% for a limited database.
