The image segmentation of plant diseases is one of the critical technical aspects of digital image processing technology for Disease Recognition. This paper proposes an improved pulse coupled neural network based on an improved genetic algorithm. An objective evaluation function is defined based on linear weighted function with maximum Shannon entropy and minimum cross-entropy. Through adaptive adjustment of crossover probability and mutation probability, we optimized the parameters of pulse coupled neural network based on the improve genetic algorithm. The improved network is used to segment the color images of Maize melanoma powder disease in RGB color subspaces. Then combined with the results by color image merger strategy, we can get the terminal results of target area. The experimental results show that this method could segment the disease regions better and set complexity parameters simplier.
