Fusarium damage in wheat reduces the quality and safety of associated food and feed products. In this study, a specific Fusarium head blight (FHB) classification index (FCI) for detection of this disease in wheat is proposed. Hyperspectral microscopy images of wheat spikelets are used as the data source. An algorithm combining the instability index (ISI) and spectral angle mapper (SAM) classifier (ISI-SAM) is used to extract four sensitive single wavelengths. Then, partial least-squares regression of the disease area ratio with simple spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) for each image is used to determine the most relevant spectral index (i.e., difference spectral index, DSI (668, 417)). On this basis, in order to develop a hyperspectral index for FHB detection, an exhaustive search for the best weighted combination of a single wavelength and DSI (668, 417) is conducted, with all possible combinations being tested. The final FCI is FCI=0.25×[2(R668−R417)−R539], with an overall classification accuracy of 89.80%. The FCI is tested for its ability to detect and classify the healthy and diseased areas of wheat spikelets through comparison with six commonly used SVIs, and its disease identification accuracy is almost 30% higher than that of the best-performing SVI. The FCI is also successfully applied to classification of hyperspectral image data from wheat spikes. The FCI developed in this study constitutes a stable and feasible method of early FHB detection through spectral and low-altitude remote sensing, and will improve FHB detection, identification, and monitoring performance in precision agriculture applications.
