Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Calculation Based on Image Processing using Triangle Method

Abstract

The increasing of whitefly population and insufficient number of inspectors available, causes decreases production of vegetable crops. One solution that can be used is digital image processing. With digital image processing techniques, whitefly density can be calculated from an early age. Jn this study, the method used is triangle method. Triangle method is used to get the dynamic threshold value to be used in the segmentation process. The image is segmented to get the area covered by whitefly. So that whitefly densities can be calculated on the leaves. Segmentation results using triangle method has an accuracy of 75.36%. this suggests that triangle method can be used for the whitefly segmentation process in vegetable crops leaf image.
