- FIG. 5 is a graph (x: NDVI, y: number of leaves) showing the relationship between NDVI and the number of leaves [sheets].
- the number of opened leaves is an average value obtained by determining the number of leaves in one bud of all shoots in a certain area of a tea garden (the leaves expand and the entire middle bud can be seen). To increase. Since the quality of tea leaves changes depending on the growth of shoots, the number of open leaves is used as an indicator of the degree of growth, as in the case of the above-mentioned bud weight, so that the tea leaves plucked according to the quality required for the tea leaves are plucked. The day can be determined.
- the difference from the appropriate range of the number of open leaves (or NDVI) is calculated, and the ratio of the difference with respect to the standard fluctuation amount per day is calculated to reach the plucking suitable period. Therefore, it is possible to predict the appropriate harvesting period by adding this number of days to the shooting date.
- the standard fluctuation amount per day of the number of opened leaves is generally 0.05 to 0.2 sheets / day.
- the number of tea leaves that are determined to be suitable for plucking varies depending on the location of the tea plantation, etc. Therefore, it is desirable to collect basic data in advance for each tea plantation and confirm it individually.
- the number of leaves suitable for plucking is generally 2 to 6, and a part of this range can be set to an appropriate range for each tea garden according to the target quality rank.
- the appropriate range of the number of opened leaves is set such that the lower range is 3 to 4 for high grade tea leaves, and the higher range is 4 to 5 for general rank tea leaves. Can be set.
- the correlations shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are the results obtained for the No. 1 tea of Yabukita, but the tea shoots can be picked several times a year. It is known that the content of components contained in tea leaves changes as the tea season progresses. The proportion of No. 1 tea in the annual green tea production in Japan is more than 40% in quantity and more than 70% in amount. Knowing the growth state of No. 1 tea is very important for growers, Since the importance of No. 2 and No. 3 tea is increasing with the increase, it is necessary to make a plucking judgment taking into account the difference in growth according to the tea season.
- the content of ingredients contained in tea leaves varies slightly depending on the variety of tea tree, and the ratio of Yabukita in tea gardens in Japan is about 75% of the total area, but specialized in various functional ingredients. Since the ratio of varieties other than Yabukita is increasing due to the demand for the cultivar, it is necessary to know the growth state according to the cultivar when judging the picking.
- the constant of the relational expression indicating the correlation with each evaluation item is treated as a variable changed according to the variety and the tea season, and the constant of the relational expression is determined according to the data of the variety and tea season given as the initial conditions of the tea leaves to be evaluated.

- tea trees are usually cultivated in straws with a width of 1.5 to 1.8 m and a height (step) of 0.3 to 1 m.
- the object to be photographed is a sprout that extends upward from the crown surface of the tea tree, so the photographing position is from the top of the crown surface to the horizontal horizontal direction. If an old leaf or shaded portion under the crown surface is photographed, the image information is affected, and the correlation between the above-described evaluation item and NDVI tends to be lowered. Therefore, photographing from obliquely above is considered appropriate.
- the variation in the measured data with respect to the relational expression (7) is small when the shooting angle is small, because this is an angle at which it is easy to exclude other than shoots from the shooting target. Conceivable. Therefore, in order to increase the accuracy of the image information, it is effective to set the shooting angle so that the shooting target is concentrated on the sprout and perform shooting. It is preferable to arrange the image photographing device at an obliquely upper position where the photographing angle is in the range of 0 to 10 ° (excluding 0 °) with respect to the crown surface. It should be noted that the crown surface of the tea tree is often adjusted to a gentle curved surface, and in this case, the reference of the photographing angle is a surface passing through the top of the crown surface of each tea tree.
- the crown surface described as the reference of the photographing angle in the present invention means a horizontal plane passing through the top of the crown surface in the case of flat tea garden, and means a plane parallel to the inclined ground through the top of the crown surface in the case of inclined tea garden. .

- the artificial light used for photographing may be any light that includes light having a wavelength used for calculating the vegetation index, that is, light that includes 600 to 1300 nm red light and near infrared light, and is generally used.
- a photographing illumination lamp or an artificial solar illumination lamp can be used as the light source.
- irradiation light specialized for red light and near-infrared light it is possible to specialize in photographing only necessary optical data, so that the accuracy of the vegetation index can be improved.
- Examples of the light source for irradiating light with such a wavelength include infrared and near-infrared lamps, LEDs, and the like.
- the distance, irradiation angle, and illuminance between the tea leaf to be photographed and the light source may be constant in order to increase the accuracy of the corrected vegetation index.
- the fixing means may be used as necessary. If the illumination area of the tea leaves is defined within a certain range by covering the surroundings of the illuminating lamp and the photographing apparatus using a dark screen or a shielding plate, fluctuations in illuminance can be suppressed and data reliability can be improved. In this configuration, wide-area shooting is not possible, but not only nighttime but also daytime shooting is possible, so data can be stably and reliably obtained even in daytime by performing shooting under dark conditions using artificial light on the shielded area. It is possible to collect.
