An Investigation Into Machine Learning Regression
Techniques for the Leaf Rust Disease Detection
Using Hyperspectral Measurement
Abstract—The complex impacts of disease stages and disease symptoms on spectral characteristics of the plants lead to limitation n disease severity detection using the spectral vegetation indices (SVIs). Although machine learning techniques have been utilized for vegetation parameters estimation and disease detection, the effects of disease symptoms on their performances have been less considered. Hence, this paper investigated on 1) using partial least square regression (PLSR), ν support vector regression (ν-SVR), and Gaussian process regression (GPR) methods for wheat leaf rust disease detection, 2) evaluating the impact of training sample size on the results, 3) the influence of disease symptoms effects on the predictions performances of the above-mentioned methods, and 4) comparisons between the performances of SVIs and machine learning techniques. In this study, the spectra of the infected and non infected leaves in different disease symptoms were measured using a non imaging spectroradiometer in the electromagnetic region of 350 to 2500 nm. In order to produce a ground truth dataset, we employed photos of a digital camera to compute the disease severity and disease symptoms fractions. Then, different sample sizes of collected datasets were utilized to train each method. PLSR showed coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.98 (root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.6) and 0.92 (RMSE = 0.11) at leaf and canopy, respectively. SVR showed R2 and RMSE
close to PLSR at leaf (R2 = 0.98, RMSE = 0.05) and canopy (R2 = 0.95, RMSE = 0.12) scales. GPR showed R2 values of 0.98 (RMSE = 0.03) and 0.97 (RMSE = 0.11) at leaf and canopy scale, respectively. Moreover, GPR represents better performances than others using small training sample size. The results represent that the machine learning techniques in contrast to SVIs are not sensitive to different disease symptoms and their results are reliable.< final year projects >
