Abstract

Conventional methods for detecting seed-borne fungi are laborious and time-consuming, requiring specialized analysts for characterization of pathogenic fungi on seed. Multispectral imaging (MSI) combined with machine vision was used as an alternative method to detect Drechslera avenae (Eidam) Sharif [Helminthosporium avenae (Eidam)] in black oat seeds (Avena strigosa Schreb). The seeds were inoculated with Drechslera avenae (D. avenae) and then incubated for 24, 72 and 120 h. Multispectral images of non-infested and infested seeds were acquired at 19 wavelengths within the spectral range of 365 to 970 nm. A classification model based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was created using reflectance, color, and texture features of the seed images. The model developed showed high performance of MSI in detecting D. avenae in black oat seeds, particularly using color and texture features from seeds incubated for 120 h, with an accuracy of 0.86 in independent validation. The high precision of the classifier showed that the method using images captured in the Ultraviolet A region (365 nm) could be easily used to classify black oat seeds according to their health status, and results can be achieved more rapidly and effectively compared to conventional methods.

Figure 2.Mean spectral reflectance signatures measured at 19 wavelengths for non-inoculated seeds (0 h) and inoculated seeds with Drechslera avenae (Eidam) Sharif, at 24, 72 and 120 h after inoculation. σ represents the standard deviation (+/−) of reflectance data in each wavelength.

Figure 3.Raw images and corresponding grayscale and nCDA images of black oat seeds at 365 nm for fungus-free seeds (control), and seeds exposed to Drechslera avenae (Eidam) Sharif for 24, 72 and 120 h. In the images transformed by nCDA algorithm, blue color represents healthy tissues, green and yellow colors are intermediate contamination, and red color indicates higher fungal contamination.

(a, b) Ellipses show 95% confidence intervals for each seed health class. For each class, n = 200. (c) R-squared values indicate the spectral reflectance contributions of 19 wavelengths, and (d) the individual contribution of 36 variables extracted from multispectral images for classification of four seed health classes: 1-uninoculated; 2-inoculated for 24 h; 3-inoculated for 72 h; 4-inoculated for 120 h.
