Artificial Neural Network Modelling of Leaf Water Potential for Potatoes Using RGB Digital Images: A Greenhouse Study
Tóm tắt
Plant water status information of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank) is needed at the farm level for irrigation scheduling. This research investigated the feasibility of using a 5-megapixel digital camera to determine the leaf water potential (ΨL) of potato plants by capturing red, green, blue (RGB) digital images in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in containerized cv. Russet Burbank potato plants subjected to five soil nitrate-nitrogen (N) levels and four soil water content levels. An artificial neural network (ANN) model, built with RGB images, RGB image transformations, RGB vegetation indices, and principal components analysis, found that for the validation data set, the measured ΨL and predicted ΨL results were from common populations. Other results showed: (1) a linear trend between soil nitrate-N levels and leaf reflectance in the G image band, (2) that the RG image bands were more suitable than the B image band for classifying leaf pigment from leaf shadow and leaf damage, (3) soil nitrate-N interacted with leaf greenness, affecting ΨL prediction, and (4) some image variables were more important than others in the ANN model. Although this greenhouse research shows promise, further field-based research is required to validate the selection of input neurons used and also validate the use of ANN modelling to determine ΨL at the plant canopy level with cv. Russet Burbank and other cultivars. In addition, an image acquisition method needs to be developed to obtain periodic representative sample coverage over a field.
