A Chaotic Salp Swarm Feature Selection Algorithm for Apple and Tomato Plant Leaf Disease Detection

Abstract

Plants are seen as vital because they provide mankind with energy. Plant diseases can harm the leaf at any time between planting and harvesting, resulting in enormous losses in crop output and market value. A leaf disease detection system acts asignificant role in agricultural production. A large amount of labour is required for this process as well as an in-depth understanding of plant diseases. Determining the presence of illnesses in plant leaves requires the use of deep learning and machine learning methods, which classify the data based on a specified set. In this paper, apple and tomato leaves disease detection process is carried out by Chaotic Salp Swarm algorithm (CSSA) followed by Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) technique for classification. We've used the Bi-LSTM architecture to sense disease in tomato and apple leaves in studies. In order to determine the type of leaves, we trained a deep learning network using the PlantVillage dataset of damaged and healthy plant leaves. It is estimated that the trained model achieves a test accuracy of 96%.
