Early Detection and Classification of Phytophthora Blight in Chili Peppers Using Hyperspectral Imaging and Machine Learning
Phytophthora blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici, is difficult to control after symptoms appear, motivating rapid, non-destructive detection during the asymptomatic stage. This study evaluated hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for early disease detection in chili pepper seedlings. Stem and leaf spectra were monitored duri...
