A novel approach for nitrogen diagnosis of wheat canopies digital images by mobile phones based on histogram

Abstract The accurate and nondestructive assessment of leaf nitrogen (N) is very important for N management in winter wheat fields. Mobile phones are now being used as an additional N diagnostic tool. To overcome the drawbacks of traditional digital camera diagnostic methods, a histogram-based metho...
