A statistical approach for orchid disease identification using RGB color

This paper presented a statistical approach for recognition of orchid diseases using RGB color analysis. As for features, the scale infection and black leaf spot disease of the orchid have been chosen in this study. Orchid plant with these two category disease samples were taken from a local home orchid collector and captured using digital camera in a controlled environment. The RGB components are extracted as features and statistical analysis specifically error plot and T-Test are utilized for differentiation between orchid either with scale or black leaf spot disease. Initial findings showed that the proposed method is capable to differentiate these two category diseases.
