Classification of Rubber Tree Leaf Disease Using Spectrometer

Abstract

In this paper, the classification of five types of rubber leaf disease by using the spectrometer and SPSS are presented. There are five of leaf disease that have been used as samples which are Oidium secondary leaf fall, Fusicoccum Leaf Blight, Bird eye's spot and Anthracnose. The reflectance of the infected leaves sample is measured by using MCS600 Carl Zeiss spectrometer. Besides, Aspect Plus, a universal spectroscopy program from Zeiss manages to measure the spectral regions of the leaves sample. Further analysis and justification are completed by using approximate statistical tools from SPSS. The results obtained show that there are strong evidences that these diseases can be discriminated from each other using a spectrometer.
