Many insects attack date palm trees but date palm trees in the Sultanate are particularly under threat due to the spread of pests and the Dubas bug (Db). Date palm productivity in Oman has been reduced by 28% due to Db infestation. The manual field detection of these pests requires huge efforts and costs, making field surveys time consuming and difficult. In this context, remote sensing integrated with deep learning techniques can help in the early detection of Db infestation. A total of 240 date palms with corrected geospatial locations and coordinates and their health status were systematically recorded throughout the 66-square-kilometer study area. We used advanced remote sensing tools and deep learning techniques to detect individual palm trees and their health levels in terms of Db infestation. Very-high-resolution (50 cm) satellite images rendered in visible and NIR bands were used as datasets to delineate and identify individual tree positions and determine their health condition. Our proposed method resulted in an overall accuracy of 87% for the detection of date palm trees and 85% for the detection of health levels of the plants. The overall detection accuracy of high and low infestation levels was observed with high precision at 95% and 93%, respectively. Hence, we can conclude with confidence that our technique performed well by accurately detecting individual date palm trees and determining their level of Db infestation. The approach used in this study can also provide farmers with useful knowledge regarding the Db risk and damage control for better management of Db. Moreover, the model used in this study may also lay the foundations for other models to detect infested plants and trees other than date palms.
