Abstract

The general health condition of the crop is very essential for increasing the agricultural production and global food security. Fungal diseases in leaves may spread rapidly and result in yield reduction if not detected timely. To this end, an intelligent system is constructed based on deep convolutional neural network to classify the leaf diseases of plants using images. The CNN model can be further qualified by a diverse dataset coupled with preprocess and data augmentation for higher generalization capability. The CNN architecture drawn learns highly packed visual feature from the plant leaf image and can classify several types of disease with very high accuracy. Our experiment results verified the efficacy of the package with 92.23% classification accuracy which outperformed traditional image processing combined with classical machine learning approaches in the past. It can effectively be used for actual farming in the field with positive contribution to sustainable farming practices.

Automated Plant Leaf Disease Diagnosis using Deep Learning

Plant varieties are essential for the survival of human beings and animals, as they act as an alternative source of food, fiber, fodder, and other raw materials for domestic needs and industries in any society. Early identification of plant leaf diseases is very important for keeping the health of crops intact. Crops being infected can affect the overall yield of crops, which may be detrimental to the earnings of farmers. With the emergence of artificial intelligence technology, it has become possible to deploy systems for quicker identification of illnesses. This work has been carried out for the prediction of plant diseases based on visual phenotypic manifestations, such as images of leaves. For this purpose, the dataset has been created after retrieving data from the PlantVillage dataset. The clinical reliability of different deep learning models of various representational capacities has been tested while using ImageNet pre-trained parameters. The experimental results show that MobileNetV2 achieves the highest accuracy of 96.15%, outperforming deep CNN (76.92%) and medium CNN (61.54%). The test accuracy and class-wise F1-scores for the CNN are observed to be substantially very high. The generalization ability and result of DCNN and MCNN are moderate and poor, respectively, as observed. Additionally, the proposed CNN only uses the disease-affected areas on the leaf, thus making the result more interpretable

Enhancing Plant Disease Classification Accuracy Using a Hybrid CNN–Vision Transformer Model

Plant diseases are one of the many factors which reduce agricultural productivity and global food security. Accurate and early diagnosis of plant diseases helps to reduce significant losses to crops and aid in sustainable agriculture. In recent years, deep learning methods for plant disease diagnosis have been of great interest in the field of agriculture. This study proposes a hybrid model, Hybrid plant disease classification using deep learning models, which uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to obtain local features of the affected plant leaves and a pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT) to get global features. In this work, the proposed hybrid model is validated using 15 plant disease classes of which different data augmentation techniques such as changing the light exposure and object orientation are employed. Experimental results revealed the convergence stability of the model, the strong generalization ability, and the better accuracy as compared with each of the models used independently.
