Application of BP Neural Network to Sugarcane Diseased Spots Classification
Jinhui Zhao, Xiwen Luo, Muhua Liu, Mingyin Yao · 2008
Red rot disease and ring spot disease are two common diseases at the seedling stage of sugarcane. According to the image characteristics of diseased spots, sugarcane diseased spots classification using BP neural network is proposed. Firstly, the feature parameter combination of mean value of color component Cr, mean value of color component V and roundness is selected as the feature parameters of the following pattern recognition by orthogonal experiment design method. Then, BP neural network with 3 input neurons, 12 hidden neurons and 1 output neuron is constructed to distinguish between red rot diseased spots and ring spot diseased spots. The experimental results show that recognition accurate rates of rough set, fuzzy K near neighbor algorithm and BP neural network are 86%, 91% and 94%, respectively. BP neural network is more suitable to distinguish between the two diseased spots than fuzzy K near neighbor algorithm and rough set.
