Abstract
Mosaic of apple leaves is a major disease that reduces the yield and quality of apples, and monitoring for the disease allows for its timely control. However, few studies have investigated the status of apple pests and diseases, especially mosaic diseases, using hyperspectral imaging technology. Here, hyperspectral images of healthy and infected apple leaves were obtained using a near-ground imaging high spectrometer and the anthocyanin content was measured simultaneously. The spectral differences between the healthy and infected leaves were analyzed. The content of anthocyanin in the leaves was estimated by the optimal model to determine the degree of apple mosaic disease. The leaves exhibited stronger reflectance at a range of 500–560 nm as the degree of disease increased. The correlation between the spectral reflectance processed by the Gaussian1 wavelet transform and anthocyanin was significantly improved compared to the corresponding correlation results with the original spectrum. The VPs-XGBoost anthocyanin estimation model performed the best, which was sufficient to monitor the degree of the disease. The findings provide theoretical support for the quantitative estimation of leaf anthocyanin content by remote sensing to monitor the degree of disease; they lay the foundation for large-scale monitoring of the degree of apple mosaic disease by remote sensing.
