Detection of potato early blight based on hyperspectral imaging

Two non-destructive detection methods for potato blight based on hyperspectral imaging were used: convolutional neural network (CNN) and support vector machine (SVM) to classify potato leaves. By comparing the classification results, the advantages and disadvantages of different methods are analyzed. In the experiment, normal potato leaves and early blight leaves were selected as research objects. Hyperspectral images of samples were obtained by hyperspectral imaging system, and then principal component images were extracted by principal component analysis method. It was found that the principal component images of normal leaves and blight leaves were significantly different, and finally two models of blight detection were established for convolutional neural network and support vector machine. The experimental results showed that the convolutional neural network was better than the support vector function in the detection of potato blight.
