Abstract
This paper proposes the novel technique of processing the leaf images from inconsistent illumination,
as opposed to controlled environment approach used by conventional laboratory setup nowadays. The
effect of daylight illumination creates major obstacle due to the changes of leaf appearance under
different illumination that will affect the subsequent preprocessed image specically when extracting
the features such as spots and colours using RGB colour, histogram based texture and Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrices (GLCM). The key highlighted idea of processing the image under normal daylight
involves colour manipulation technique to disclose the hidden RGB colour into its original colour,
therefore the leaf images can be processed not limited to controlled environment setup. Once the
illumination effect is alleviated, the oil palm leaf-diseased region an be automatically classied into
three different types of disease namely nitrogen (N), potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) deciencies.
The classication technique via Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) classier is examined and
validated using an input from a database of oil palm diseased-leaf (or scientically known as Elaeis
Guineensis) to conrm the high degree of classier capability to recognize the disease according to
the deciency type. The experimental result showed that various lighting conditions measured in
terms of illumination affected the formed pattern on the leaf surface due to the leaf images
dependency on the intensity of illumination presented at that time hence disturbing the image quality.
Classication of the various deciencies demonstrated the correct classication rate as high as
70.69%, showing that the inconsistent illumination could provide good accuracy in classifying the
decient-leaf.
