A Novel Recognition Algorithm Based on Optimal Wavelet Packet and Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for Extracting Pathologic Features of Plant Image

Abstract

This paper presents a new recognition algorithm for plant pathology images based on the Non-negative Matrix Factorization, the proposed algorithm is combined with optimal wavelet packet basis to recognize patterns and conduct data encoding in the internet of things oriented intelligent agricultural system. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed recognition algorithm is far better than those of the principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis, and the recognition rate are improved, on average, about 14.65% and 11.18% higher than the rates of the above algorithms respectively. The presented algorithm is characterized by the fast speed, high calculation accuracy and easy hardware implementation.
