R. Damayanti, - The Prediction of Chlorophyll Content in African Leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Del.) Using Flatbed Scanner and Optimised Artificial Neural Network.
Abstract
African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Del.) is a nutrient-rich plant that has been widely used as a herbal plant. African leaves contain chlorophyll which identify compounds produced by a plant, such as flavonoids and phenols. Chlorophyll testing can be carried out non-destructively by using the SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter. However, it is quite expensive, so that another non-destructive method is developed, namely digital image analysis. Relationships between chlorophyll content and leaf image colour indices in the RGB, HSV, HSL, and Lab* space are examined. The objectives of this study are 1) to analyse the relationship between texture parameters of red, green, blue, grey, hue, saturation(HSL), lightness (HSL), saturation( HSV), value(HSV), L*, a*, and b* against the chlorophyll content in African leaves using a flatbed scanner (HP DeskJet 2130 Series); and 2) built a model to predict chlorophyll content in African leaves using optimised ANN through a feature selection process by using several filter methods. The best ANN topologies are 10-30-40-1 (10 input nodes, 40 nodes in hidden layer 1, 30 nodes in hidden layer 2, and 1 output node) with a trainlm on the learning function, tansig on the hidden layer, and purelin on the output layer. The selected topology produces MSE training of 0.0007 with R training 0.9981 and the lowest validation MSE of 0.012 with R validation of 0.967. With these results, it can be concluded that the ANN model can be potentially used as a model for predicting chlorophyll content in African leaves
