Abstract. Leaves are the main organs for plant photosynthesis and transpiration,
and thus accurate and rapid measurements of their surface area are of great
significance in plant growth studies. A novel method was developed to utilize
computer vision to determine the leaf projected area for potted plants using a
reference object. During leaf extraction, the excess green vegetation index and
the Otsu algorithm were used for image binarization. Blob analysis was then
performed to eliminate noise and extract leaf images. After grey level transform
and obtaining the binary image, the Sobel operator and Hough transform were
utilized to detect pot’s external boundary. The image including the extracted
leaves and the detected reference borders were then processed using a Geometric
correction to improve the measurement accuracy, and based on this, the leaf
projected area was calculated. Results of the experimental image showed that this
newly proposed method proved is effective and can continuously measure the
plant’s leaf area for non-destructive monitoring.

1 Introduction

Leaf area is frequently expressed as the leaf area index (LAI), which is defined as the
total one-sided area of leaf tissue per unit ground area [1]. LAI is an important crop
parameter that determines the radiation intercepted by the crop canopy, and has a strong
impact on the calculation of crop canopy photosynthesis and transpiration [2]. In crops
like tea, tobacco, and green leafy vegetables, where leaves are the major commercial
product, leaf area is a good direct indicator of product yields. Since leaf area plays an
important role in photosynthesis, light interception, water and nutrient use, crop growth,
and yield potential, measurement of leaf area is valuable in plant growth studies [3, 4].
The importance of leaf area determination in plant sciences has stimulated the use of
many leaf area measurement methods.
Researchers have studied the use of machine vision technology in the measurement
of the leaf area. Trooien and Heermann [5] developed a simulation model of potato
canopy architecture to evaluate an image-processing leaf-area measurement method.
Kacira et al. [6] used features derived from top-projected canopy area (TPCA) to detect

plant water stress. Igathinathane et al. [3] measured detached leaf area that required
human intervention using semi-automatic interactive software. Story et al. [7] combined
TPCA and color information to develop a vision system to detect lettuce calcium defi‐
ciency. Xia et al. [8] proposed a quick on-line measuring method of tobacco leaf area
for analyzing tobacco strip size distribution. Tong et al. [9] studied machine vision
techniques to calculate the leaf area of seedlings for quality evaluation. However, the
problems associated with most existing methods are that the measurements were
performed in controlled environments, requiring that the camera maintains a perpen‐
dicular orientation to the projection plane, and the leaf area was expressed in pixels of
the projected object instead of the actual area. These shortcomings limit their application
to actual crop production.
Thus, the objective of this study is to develop a new approach for accurate and rapid
measurement of leaf area using a reference object that can be used in actual production.
The potted plant is a common cropping pattern in greenhouses, where the pot is regular
and can be used as a reference object. Using our approach, Hough transform (HT) was
carried out after edge detection to determine the reference object’s boundaries. The HT
is robust for determining a regular object’s boundaries. In this paper, to improve meas‐
urement accuracy, the images were processed using a geometric correction, based on
which leaf area and the size of the reference were calculated. Once the reference’s size
is known, the actual projected area of the leaf is easy to calculate.

2 Materials and Methods

2.1 Plants and Image Acquisition

Experiments on plants were performed in the agricultural park of Tongji University in


the Jiading district. For potted plants, white rectangular pots were selected for the tests.

A New Approach for Measuring Leaf Projected Area for Potted Plant 3

Figure 1 shows the image acquisition system for plants, which comprised a support to
fix the CCD camera. The image processing system worked on an Intel Core 2 computer
equipped with 4 GB memory. Top-view plant images were captured in natural light
every day at a given time and were then digitized into 24-bit red-green-blue (RGB)
images with a resolution of 4000 × 2248 pixels. As shown in Fig. 2, each basin contains
3 plants and the pot was selected as the reference object.

2.2 LAI Calculation with Image Processing

Figure 3 shows the system block diagram, which illustrates the algorithms used and the
order during image processing. The diagram shows that leaf extraction and calculation
of the pot’s outer boundary are two important steps in measuring a plant’s projected
area. During leaf extraction, the excess green (ExG) index and Otsu approach are
combined to obtain a binary image. To segment vegetation from soil, researchers have
employed different kinds of indices [10–13]. We selected the ExG index for calculation,
which yielded results similar to binary images. The ExG index is defined as:

(1)
The area of interest is green vegetation, and the color component differences between
leaves and background are obvious. The difference in the background area is slight and
the leaf area can be extracted easily with a suitable threshold, which was determined
using Otsu’s approach [14] in this paper. Then, blob analysis was used to eliminate noise
and extract the leaf image.
Our main aim was to use HT to determine the pot boundary. The first step in pot
boundary determination was pot segmentation, which was achieved using the gray level
transform and image binarization with a suitable threshold value. The gray level trans‐
form formula is given by:

(2)
A binary image could be obtained by manually selecting the appropriate threshold
based on histogram analysis and application to the gray image resulting from Eq. (2).

This value was thus selected as a fixed threshold that could affect binary image segmen‐
tation. After gray level transform, the Sobel operator and HT were utilized to calculate
the reference object’s outer boundary position. Geometric transform is performed to
overcome image distortion due to the camera view not being perpendicular to the ground,
thereby improving measurement accuracy. The leaf area and the reference area in the
image are then calculated. Because the size of the pot is known, the actual projected area
of the leaves is easy to compute.

3 Results and Discussion

The proposed approach was verified using the experimental images and C# program‐
ming with the Aforge Imaging library from the Aforge.net Framework. Formula (1) was
utilized to calculate the ExG index to obtain the gray image in Fig. 1. A grey level image
resulted from the ExG, and to convert this grey level image to a binary image, an Otsu
approach was performed to achieve the optimized threshold. After segmenting the
image, there were noise residues (Fig. 4 (a)). Blob analysis was implemented to eliminate
the noise that was less than 100 pixels and to fill the holes in the object (Fig. 4(b)), and
the leaf images were then extracted. Results are illustrated in Fig. 4(c).

Pot segmentation was the first step in detecting the pot’s boundaries. With formula
(2), grey level transform was carried out and an appropriate threshold (T = 220) was
selected using histogram analysis to obtain the binary image (Fig. 5(a)). The Sobel
operator was then used to detect boundary edges, as illustrated in Fig. 5(b). Similar to
leaf extraction, noise was removed using blob analysis as displayed in Fig. 5(c), and
there were several lines present. The position of these lines could be detected using HT.
In our approach, the four most outer lines were needed to define the pot’s boundary.

According to the result of HT, the four boundary lines were selected and labeled in
red in Fig. 6. The boundary line and the leaf image were then corrected using GT
(Fig. 7), based on which the leaf area and pot area (in pixels) were calculated. Because
the pot real area Apt is known, it is easy to compute the leaf-projected area Apj, which
is defined as follows:

(3)

where w and h are the width and height of pot after GT, and Al is the area of leaf in
pixels. In Fig. 2, the Apj is 352.3 cm2, the real projected area calculated with a leaf area
meter (AM-300, ADC, UK) is 352.1 cm2. The error is small and our approach is effective.

4 Conclusion

An image processing method was developed for non-destructive measurement of the


leaf area using a reference object. For potted plants, the pot was naturally selected as a
reference object. The image processing procedure was comprised of leaf extraction and
boundary detection. During leaf extraction, the Otsu approach based on the ExG index
and the blob analysis were applied to obtain leaf images. An image processing procedure,
which comprised grey level transform, noise removal, edge detection and HT, was used
to detect the reference object’s boundaries. Moreover, the image containing the leaves
and the boundary was processed using GT to improve the measurement accuracy.
Experiments demonstrated that the proposed approach was effective for measuring
projected leaf area for potted plants. This newly proposed method can measure a plant’s
leaf area continuously for non-destructive monitoring.

Abstract. A proposed method was introduced to study the meso-pore structures


of eco-material in this paper. Firstly, the samples were solidified by using the
mixtures of epoxy resin, triethanolamine and blue organic dyestuff. Then, the
sections were obtained by cutting the solidified samples and the digital images
were gathered by using high resolution camera. At last, the IPP technique was
used to analyze the digital images for studying the meso-pore structures. Exper‐
imental results show that pore number of eco-material increases with the decrease
of pore-size, and the number of pores of pore-size smaller than 0.24 mm is about
30 % of total. Further more, smoother pore number distribution curve indicates
more stable structure. With the increase of wet-dry cycles, the total porosity of
eco-material of 3 ~ 9 cm depth tends to decrease, while that of 12 ~ 18 cm depth
shows a tendency to increase.

1 Introduction

Pore structures and macro physical mechanics properties of rock and soil are closely
linked, and the pore structure is the foundation to carry out the study on relation between
macro physical mechanical characteristics and pore structure. With the continuous
development of experimental techniques, mercury injection technique and SEM tech‐
nology were used to study the micro-pore structure of the rock and soil materials and
the experiment had become easy (Zhang et al., 2008; Tao et al., 2010). For the study of
meso-pore structure, the corresponding experiment is relatively difficult (Skopp et al.,
1981; Singh et al., 1991; Tang et al., 1963). Although CT technology has been applied
in the study of pore distribution of rock and soil medium in 3D space, the resolution of
CT image is low and the precision is not high. In addition, application equipment and
expensive testing also limits the CT technology. In soil science, in general, after the
sample being solidified using the cured resin, the pore structure is analyzed by the
polarizing microscope. A method was put forward to study the meso-pore structure by
color photography scanner or high resolution digital camera and the pore distribution
data was gained by computer image analysis software (Li et al., 2002; He et al., 2002).
Based on the above method, a new method will be presented and applied to the research
of the eco-material pore structure.

2 Materials and Methods

Sample preparation: Referring to the proposed experimental methods (Li et al., 2002;
He et al., 2002), a new method to study the meso-pore structure is introduced. The steps
of sample preparation and sections cutting are as follows:
(a) Sampling. The light rain weather is very fit for sampling (eco-material humidity is
moderate, convenient for sampling). In the field test site of ecological material, a
plastic barrel, whose diameter is 11 cm, height is 20 cm and wall thickness is about
2 mm, is slowly put into the eco-materials. Then, the small range of materials near
cylinder is hollowed out. In the representative area, 4 samples were made.
(b) Wet-dry cycles. In 4 samples, 3 samples are chosen as the samples of drying and
watering cycle.
(c) Specimen impregnation. Before immersion, the specimens were sealed. Then, the
samples were put in drying cylinder to dry out, with control temperature at 70°C.
In the same time, E44 epoxy resin of a certain volume was heated in the oven until
the liquidity achieved to the ideal state. Then, triethanolamine was added into the
epoxy resin according to volume ratio of 15 %. Afterward, blue dye of 5 g: 1 L was
added. This process took time, so the fluidity of epoxy resin might become worse.
Therefore, it need take impregnating agent in the oven for heating, until mobility
was in the ideal state. Afterward, impregnating agent was injected slowly into the
barrel along the inside. The whole process should be controlled within 30 min.
(d) Specimen solidifying. After completing previous steps, it need continue to heat the
samples in the oven, at a temperature about 70°C. In general, samples can be
solidified after about 7 h.
(e) Sample cutting. Along the vertical height, each sample was cut at intervals of about
3 cm. Then, 6 representative sections were acquired for each sample and the sections
were marked.

According to the above experimental methods, 4 samples respectively corre‐


sponding to 0, 1, 3, 7 wet-dry cycles were solidified, and each sample was cut into
6 representative sections. The relationship between sample number, sampling depth
and wet-dry cycles is shown in Table 1.
Image acquisition and processing: A scale mark of 2 cm was put near by the sample
section and the high resolution image was acquired for each representative section. Then,
by using the IPP software, the color photographs were converted to binary image of
black and white. In the processing, threshold adjustment function was chosen to
complete pore and particle segmentation in IPP. The binary image of black and white
must be compared with the original color image, guaranteeing the black and white image
can reflect the actual situation. The same work should be completed by one or more
peoples. If the error is within 10 %, it may be a black and white image which can reflect
the actual situation.
Figure 1 shows the binary image of eco-material standard sample with 2 cm scale
signs nearby. By impregnating liquidity constraints, it will inevitably lead to not fully
filled pores, so that pores of color photographs are divided into two kinds, one is dipping
agent filled pores with the color of blue; another is not filled with color of black. In
binary image of the black and white, black represents pore, and the white represents the
particle.

3 Results and Discussion

Using IPP software, the statistics and analysis work of pore-size distributions of eco-
material was completed. Although the sampling barrel diameter is 11 cm, the samples
generally have the volume shrinkage, which lead to smaller diameter. To avoid the pore
caused by volume shrinkage, 10 cm was chosen as the circular diameter of analysis
region.
Pore-size distribution and the porosity: In accordance with the pore-size range, the
pore distribution data of IPP software was divided into 13 to 16 pore-size level, the
Research of Meso-pore Structures of Eco-material 11

number and pore area corresponding to pore-size level were counted. In particular,
according to the resolution of digital cameras, the minimum pore-size is 0.16 mm.
Figure 2 gives pore-size distributions using the porosity for pore-size grade, in which
all the abscissa is used in logarithmic form. As you can see from Fig. 2, each pore-size
interval porosity distribution is relatively uniform on the whole, the porosity of pore-
size smaller than 1 mm is relatively small, and porosity of pore-size larger than 1 mm
is relatively big. For part samples, the porosity of pore-size larger than 10 mm presents
obvious increasing intend, such as sample 1-1, and there exists a large pore, the corre‐
sponding porosity approaches 50 % of total porosity. The reason may be that corre‐
sponding sample has loose structure, and that many connected large pores form large
pores. These pores should be the main pore water preferential flow, which easily leads
to nutrient loss of eco-materials.

Fig. 2. Pore-size distribution

For the sampling depth, porosity of the same pore-size interval decreases with the
increase of sampling depth on the whole. The reason is that, larger action of gravity of
deeper eco-material leads to smaller porosity. Due to the pore distribution’s variability
of eco-materials with space, porosity of pore-size interval of some samples shows the
opposite trend, i.e. the porosity increases with the increase of depth. For example, the
porosity of small pore-size interval of surface sample 1-1 is smaller than the deeper
samples.
12 G. Tao et al.

Figure 3 shows the changes of cumulative porosity with the pore-size. On the whole,
the growth trend of porosity is relatively stable. The reason is that porosity distribution
of each pore-size interval is uniform on the whole. However, for individual samples, the
growth rate of porosity of pore-size interval shows mutations. For example, the sample
1-1, porosity growth rate of pore-size interval presents significant accelerating trend
when pore-size is larger than 8 mm. The reason is that, for the sample 1-1, a bigger
proportion of total porosity is occupied by the larger pores, whose porosity shows sudden
changes with pore-size.

With the depth increases, the total porosity shows an overall decreasing trend.
Smaller the total porosity is, more slowly the cumulative porosity increases.
Pore number distribution: Fig. 4 shows the distribution curves of pore number. As
you can see from Fig. 4, pore number increases with the decrease of pore-size, and the
number of pores of pore-size smaller than 0.24 mm is about 30 % of total. A few speci‐
mens, such as sample 1-2, appear obvious inflection point at about 0.24 mm, and shows
decreasing trend for smaller pores.

Fig. 4. Distribution of pore number

Pore number distribution curve of surface eco-materials shows large fluctuation.


However, the number distribution curves of deeper layers are relatively smooth. The
reason may be that the effects of vegetation and soil erosion lead to the discontinuous
pore distributions. It can be considered that, smoother pore distribution curves are, more
stable the pore structures are.
Figure 5 gives the accumulated number distributions of pores smaller than a certain
pore-size. All curves of 24 samples are shown on the corresponding convex, because
smaller pore number increases more quickly than larger pores. On the whole, all distri‐
bution curves are relatively concentrated. With the increase of depth, the curve tends to
be plumper.
For sample 3-1, the curve is not plump, which indicates the structure is most unstable.
The change rule of total porosity: Fig. 6 compares the total porosity of different
sampling depths of eco-material. Figure 6 shows that, with the increase of sampling
depth, total porosity of eco-material decreases on the whole. This shows that, with
increasing sampling depth, eco-material structure becomes tighter. The reason is that,
on the one hand, many pores in surface eco-material were produced due to vegetation
growth, on the other hand, the deeper eco-material become more compact because of
gravity.

The total porosity of eco-material of different wet-dry cycles is compared in Fig. 7.


It is shown that, with the increase of wet-dry cycles, the total porosity of eco-material
of 3 ~ 9 cm depth tends to decrease, and that of 12 ~ 18 cm depth shows a tendency to
increase. The reason is that, on the one hand, due to the existing of some large pores,
structure collapse phenomenon happens in superficial layer in cyclic wet-dry conditions,
so that the total porosity decreases; on the other hand, the wet volume expansion is larger

than dry volume shrinkage for deeper eco-material, so that the total porosity increases
with increase of wet-dry cycles.

4 Conclusion

Experimental results show that the proposed approach is perfect for the research of meso-
pore structures of soils. Pore number of eco-material increases with the decrease of pore-
size, and the number of pores of pore-size smaller than 0.24 mm is about 30 % of total.
Further more, Smoother pore number distribution curve indicates more stable structure.
With the increase of sampling depth, total porosity of eco-material decreases on the
whole. With the increase of wet-dry cycles, the total porosity of eco-material of 3 ~ 9 cm
depth tends to decrease, and that of 12 ~ 18 cm depth shows a tendency to increase.

Abstract. Counting is an important part of gems trade, especially in large


quantities. To develop a fast and automatic method for gems counting is nec-
essary. According to the structure of round brilliant cut gem and the typical set
property, typical gems were defined by high circularity and probability. Using
the characters of typical gems and the relationship between number and area,
gems were counted adaptively. The experiments were shown that the processing
speed was fast and the accuracy of counting was high enough for large number
of gems trading.

1 Introduction

Artificial gems [1, 2], hereinafter referred to as gems, as substitutes for diamonds, with
variety, style, beauty and, in particular, huge price advantage, are being well received
by buyers. Wuzhou, a city in south of China that has close links with the Pearl River
Delta, is widely held to be a gems trading center that serves China and the rest of the
world and known as ‘the world capital for artificial gems’. Every year, the volume of
processing, distributing and exchanging of gems in Wuzhou has reached more than 13
billion. Counting is important during the gems trading, especially in large quantities.
Thus, to develop a fast and automatic method for gems counting is necessary. In order
to make gems become more beautiful and personalized, consequently, improve their
exchange values, one of the most important ways to aggregate value of the gems is
lapidary, including the cutting and polishing processes. Due to physical properties
similar to diamond, cubic zirconia is widely processed for artificial gems. Here, we
focus on the gems processed into round brilliant cut which is the most popular cutting
in gems, for this brilliant cut model maximizing the return of incident light, and
consequently, making gems more sparkly and fascinating [2, 3].
As the development of image processing technology, image processing is used to
counting in many applications, such as cells counting in medicine [4, 5], counting for
