SEGMENTATION OF UNHEALTHY REGION OF PLANT LEAF USING IMAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUES: A SURVEY

P.Kavitha, B.Ananthi

Abstract: A segmentation technique is used to segment the diseased portion of a leaf. Based on the segmented area texture and color feature, disease can be identified by classification technique. There are many segmentation techniques such as Edge detection, Thresholding, K-Means clustering, Fuzzy C-Means clustering, Penalized Fuzzy C-Means, Unsupervised segmentation. Segmentation of diseased area of a plant leaf is the first step in disease detection and identification which plays crucial role in agriculture research. This paper provides different segmentation techniques that are used to segment diseased leaf of a plant

Keywords: Fuzzy C-Means, K-Means, Penalized FCM, Unsupervised Fuzzy Clustering
