Common scab (CS) is a major bacterial disease causing lesions on potato tubers, degrading their appearance and reducing their market value. To accurately grade scab-infected potato tubers, this study introduces "ScabyNet", an image processing approach combining color-morphology analysis with deep learning techniques. ScabyNet estimates tuber quality traits and accurately detects and quantifies CS severity levels from color images.

The first group of images consists of a temporal monitoring of seven apple tree plants, infected with fire blight (, and six control plants over a period of 15 days. The second group of images includes a temporal monitoring of three infected plants, seven plants subjected to water stress, and seven control plants.

Its main appeal lies in the sensing of precise information about plant status, which is either harder or impossible to extract from lower-resolution downward-looking image sensors such as satellite or drone imagery. Yet, many theoretical and practical problems arise when dealing with proximal sensing, especially on perennial crops such as vineyards.

However, the main problem is to handle the substantial amount of information obtained from this type of data, for which reliable data analysis tools are necessary. In this work, a combination of multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) and factorial discriminant analysis (FDA) is proposed to detect the flavescence dorée grapevine disease from hyperspectral imaging.

In these cases the models can be unstable and their predictive potential can be depreciated. To address this problem, some robust versions of the PLSR Algorithm were proposed.

It introduces an algorithmic strategy for the detection of various forms of foliar symptoms on proximal high-resolution images. The proposed strategy is based on structure-colour representations and probabilistic models of grapevine tissues.
