- Description
- Crop loss and failure have devastating impacts on a country’s economy and food security. Developing effective and inexpensive systems to minimize crop loss has become essential. Recently, multispectral imaging—in particular visible and infrared imaging—have become popular for analyzing plants and show potential for early identification of plant stress. We created a directly comparable visible and infrared image dataset for dehydration in spinach leaves. We created and compared various models trained on both datasets and concluded that the models trained on the infrared dataset outperformed all of those trained on the visible dataset. In particular, the models trained to identify early signs of dehydration yielded 45% difference in accuracy, with the infrared model obtaining 70% accuracy and the visible model obtaining 25% accuracy. Infrared imaging thus shows promising potential for application in early plant stress and disease identification.
