Early detection of Solanum lycopersicum diseases from temporally-aggregated hyperspectral measurements using machine learning

2023

AbstractSome plant diseases can significantly reduce harvest, but their early detection in cultivation may prevent those consequential losses. Conventional methods of diagnosing plant diseases are based on visual observation of crops, but the symptoms of various diseases may be similar. It increases the difficulty of this task even for an experienced farmer and requires detailed examination based on invasive methods conducted in laboratory settings by qualified personnel. Therefore, modern agronomy requires the development of non-destructive crop diagnosis methods to accelerate the process of detecting plant infections with various pathogens. This research pathway is followed in this paper,…
