Abstract
Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola), and apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) are endemic diseases that affect crops across Europe. These diseases can respectively cause severe losses in grapes, apples in particular when not detected in an early stage. Spectral image sensing was explored to see whether it outperforms standard RGB colour imaging due to its extended wavelength range and more detailed reflection over the spectrum. Image data was acquired in apple orchards, vineyards and greenhouses of Italy and the Netherlands using a research based IMEC Snapscan spectral camera with high spectral resolution (150 bands, 470-900nm), and later a commercially available SILIOS spectral camera. We show using these datasets and a linear discriminant analysis that detection of early symptoms of both diseases is possible.
