Abstract


A lot of digital image techniques to assess crop agronomic character have been developed.  Most of those techniques are based on non-visible light equiped cameras, such as infared wavelengths. This research was aimed to examine the use of commercial digital camera with sensor range in visible light spectrum using CIE L*a*b* color space to estimate chlorophyll and nitrogen content of tea leaf.  Data was collected from an experiment of nitrogen dossage levels on 3 years after prunning tea crops.  The result shows that Lb* Difference Simple Index (LI), a*b* Difference Simple Index (AI), and  a* Vegetation Index (VIA) can be used to estimate tea leaf chlorophyll and nitrogen content.  The relationship between VIA and tea leaf nitrogen content was defined on linear equation y = 1.8382x2 - 0.3099x + 3.0658 with determinant coefficient R² = 0.71.
