Abstract: | Early detection of basal stem rot (BSR) disease in oil palm trees is important for the sustainable production of palm oil in the limited land for plantation in Southeast Asia. However, previous studies based on satellite and aircraft hyperspectral remote sensing could not discriminate oil palm trees in the early-stage of the BSR disease from healthy or late-stage trees. In this study, hyperspectral imaging of oil palm trees from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and machine learning using a random forest algorithm were employed for the classification of four infection categories of the BSR disease: healthy, early-stage, late-stage, and dead trees. A concentric disk segmentation was applied to tree crown segmentation at the sub-plant scale, and recursive feature elimination was used for feature selection. The results revealed that the classification performance for the early-stage trees is maximum at the specific tree crown segments, and only a few spectral bands in the red-edge region are sufficient to classify the infection categories. These findings will be useful for future UAV-based multispectral imaging to efficiently cover a wide area of oil palm plantations for the early detection of BSR disease. |
