Preliminary Study for identifying Rice Plant Disease Based on Thermal Images

Abstract

Accurate and timely identification of plant disease can help stakeholders and farmers to mitigate losses due to pests and diseases. One of the identification techniques is indirect detection using thermal imaging technology. This technology has been considered a fast way without damaging the profile of a plant. In this paper, we describe the preliminary study of the thermal images gathering, so that the rice plant disease on the leaf canopy can be identified by using a thermal imaging camera.
