This paper describes the application of artificial neural networks as a preferred pattern recognition tool for the classification of remote sensing spectral reflectance data of fungal infected soybean leaves. The objective of this study funded by National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) at Stennis Space Center was to record and classify the spectral reflectance differences of leaf and canopy stress caused by drought and disease. Reflectance spectra of three different classes of fungal infected leaves were measured using GER GER German/Germany
GER Gastroesophageal Reflux
GER Geriatrics
GER General Education Requirement
GER Great Eastern Railway (UK)
GER Gross Enrollment Ratio (education)
GER Gain Electrons Reduction
1500 Spectroradiometer for 512 spectral bands from 305 nm to 1089 nm. Multi-layer feed-forward neural network model was used to train and predict the different classes of fungal infected leaves from their spectral signature. Network parameters and architectures were optimized to obtain maximum network classification performance. The classification performance of neural networks was compared to K-nearest neighbor and other statistical pattern recognition techniques. The superior classification capability of neural networks can be used to monitor more precisely the signs of damaging stress on economic crops.
