Abstract
A área foliar é um importante parâmetro fisiológico em estudos de melhoramento genético e padronizar sua medição gera dados mais precisos e confiáveis para a análise desejada. Atualmente o método mais utilizado para medir a área foliar é o escaneamento da folha em estudo e o processamento da imagem no programa de computador ImageJ. Porém, a falta de acesso e portabilidade de um escâner e computador em condições de campo, inviabiliza a utilização dessa ferramenta computacional. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com esse trabalho analisar a exatidão, precisão e usabilidade de ferramentas computacionais para determinação de área foliar em diferentes espécies vegetais. Foram dispostas cinco folhas das espécies Mangifera indica (manga Ubá), Coffea arábica (café arábica), Paspalum notatum (grama batatais) e Phaseolus vulgaris (feijão) para a determinação da área foliar, sendo espécies de diferentes formatos, cor e textura. O dispositivo de captura de imagem utilizado para mensurar a área nos aplicativos foi a câmera de smartphones. Inicialmente avaliou-se a influência da resolução de escaneamento em relação ao erro na área foliar e conclui-se que não tinha influência significativa. A usabilidade dos aplicativos foi avaliada por seis pessoas que testaram os mesmos. Os dados obtidos foram analisados através do Software R. Por meio dos resultados observou-se que existem aplicativos viáveis para o uso de medição de área foliar, porém a dimensão, cor e textura das folhas são características que influenciam na usabilidade e precisão destes aplicativos. De forma genérica, os aplicativos mostraram-se como uma boa solução na análise de imagens visando a determinação da área foliar in situ, sendo o Petiole o que apresentou maior precisão e usabilidade.

Leaf area is an important physiological parameter in genetic improvement studies and standardizing its measuring yields more precise and reliable data for the desired analysis. Currently, the method that is more being utilized to measure the foliage area is scanning the leaf in study and processing the image in the ImageJ computer program. However, the lack of access to a scanner and computer and the fact that they are not easily portable in field conditions make this computerized tool unfeasible. In light of this, conducting this study aims to compare the exactness, precision, and usability of computational tools to determine the foliage area in different vegetable species. Five leaves, Mangifera indica (mango), Coffea arábica (Arabic coffee), Paspalum notatum (bahiagrass), and Phaseolus vulgaris (beans), were laid out in order to determine their leaf area, being species of different shapes, color and texture. The device used to capture images was the smartphone camera. Initially, the influence of the scanning resolution was evaluated in relation to the error in the leaf area and it was concluded that it had no significant influence. The applications’ usability was tested by six people who tested them. The data obtained was illustrated by means of Software R. Through the results it was observed that there are viable applications for the use of leaf area measurement, but the dimension, color and texture of the leaves influence the usability and accuracy of these applications. In a generic sense, the applications proved to be a good solution in the analysis of images for the purpose of determining foliage area in situ, being that the Petiole yielded the greatest precision and usability. Key words: ImageJ. Application for mobile devices. Genetic improvement. Image processing.
