In olive trees, it causes olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS), which is currently a serious threat to the survival of hundreds of thousands of olive trees in the south of Italy and in other countries in the European Union. Controls and countermeasures are in place to limit the further spreading of the bacterium, but it is a tough war to fight mainly due to the invasiveness of the actions that can be taken against it. The most effective weapons against the spread of Xf infection in olive trees are the detection of its presence as early as possible and attacks to the development of its vector insects. In this paper, image processing of high-resolution visible and multispectral images acquired by a purposely equipped multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is proposed for fast detection of Xf symptoms in olive trees. Acquired images were processed using a new segmentation algorithm to recognize trees which were subsequently classified using linear discriminant analysis. Preliminary experimental results obtained by flying over olive groves in selected sites in the south of Italy are presented, demonstrating a mean S\u00f8rensen\u2013Dice similarity coefficient of about 70% for segmentation, and 98% sensitivity and 93% precision for the classification of affected trees. The high similarity coefficient indicated that the segmentation algorithm was successful at isolating the regions of interest containing trees, while the high sensitivity and precision showed that OQDS can be detected with a low relative number of both false positives and false negatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20174915","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,31]],"date-time":"2020-08-31T08:11:19Z","timestamp":1598861479000},"page":"4915","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Fast Detection of Olive Trees Affected by Xylella Fastidiosa from UAVs Using Multispectral Imaging"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4166-7755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Attilio","family":"Di Nisio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Polytechnic University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4128-7170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Adamo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Polytechnic University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Acciani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Polytechnic University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2667-8982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filippo","family":"Attivissimo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Polytechnic University of Bari, 70125 Bari, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Istituto di servizi per il mercato agricolo alimentare (ISMEA) (2020, August 28).
