Statistical Methods for Quantitatively Detecting Fungal Disease from Fruits’ Images

Abstract

In this paper we have proposed statistical methods for detecting fungal disease and classifying based on disease severity levels. Most fruits diseases are caused by bacteria, fungi, virus, etc of which fungi are responsible for a large number of diseases in fruits. In this study images of fruits, affected by different fungal symptoms are collected and categorized based on disease severity. Statistical features like block wise, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), gray level runlength matrix (GLRLM) are extracted from these images. The nearest neighbor classifier using Euclidean distance was used to classify images as partially affected, moderately affected, severely affected and normal. The average classification accuracies are 91.37% and 86.715% using GLCM and GLRLM features. The average classification accuracy has increased to 94.085% using block wise features.
