Application of Image Processing and Advanced Intelligent Computing for Determining Stage of Asian Rust in Soybean Plants

This paper presents a new method that uses the advanced techniques of digital image processing and computational intelligence for monitoring and identifying the stages of Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) in soybean plants (Glycine max (L.) Merril). Its establishment included organization and structuring of digital images of soybean plant leaves, image preprocessing steps, and segmentation based ...
