Leaf Area Assessment By Image Analysis

Abstract

A measurement of leaf area is apparently simple and fundamental.  Various methods are available to measure leaf area. Available methods are time consuming, humdrum and laborious. Less expensive methods involving image processing based on video camera images and computer programs for analysis of these images have been alternative for all other techniques for leaf area assessment.  In this paper we introduce a computer program that can calculate leaf area meter based on the pixel count in very short time and highly accurate by image processing. This program provides very fast, inexpensive and highly accurate measurement.
