Use ArcView! Just count the pixels of leaf versus missing leaf. You can actually consolidate the colors to strait out black (leaf) and white (missing leaf) then tabulate the pixels in black versus white. If you want more detailed you can use a more complex color array to indicate areas that are damaged but still present.
