The timely monitoring of crop disease development is very important for precision agriculture applications. Remote sensing-based vegetation indices (VIs) can be good indicators of crop disease severity, but current methods are mainly dependent on manual ground survey results. Based on VI normalization, an automated crop disease severity grading method without the use of ground surveys was proposed in this study. This technique was applied to two cotton fields infested with different levels of cotton root rot in south Texas in the United States, where airborne hyperspectral imagery was collected. Six typical VIs were calculated from the hyperspectral imagery and their histograms indicated that VI normalization could eliminate the influences of variable field conditions and the VI value range variations, allowing a potentially broader scope of application. According to the analysis of the obtained results from the spectral dimension, spatial dimension and descriptive statistics, the disease grading results were in general agreement with previous ground survey results, proving the validity of the disease severity grading method. Although satisfactory results could be achieved from different types of VI, there is still room for further improvement through the exploration of more VIs. With the advantages of independence of ground surveys and potential universal applicability, the newly proposed crop disease grading method will be of great significance for crop disease monitoring over large geographical areas.
