An Improved EigenGAN-based Method for Data Augmentation for Plant Disease Classification

Using transfer learning-based plant disease classification and detection for sustainable agriculture

Subsistence farmers and global food security depend on sufficient food production, which aligns with the UN's “Zero Hunger,” “Climate Action,” and “Responsible Consumption and Production” sustainable development goals. In addition to already available methods for early disease detection and classification facing overfitting and fine feature extraction complexities during the training process, how early signs of green attacks can be identified or classified remains uncertain. Most pests and disease symptoms are seen in plant leaves and fruits, yet their diagnosis by experts in the laboratory is expensive, tedious, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Notably, how plant pests and diseases can be appropriately detected and timely prevented is a hotspot paradigm in smart, sustainable agriculture remains unknown. In recent years, deep transfer learning has demonstrated tremendous advances in the recognition accuracy of object detection and image classification systems since these frameworks utilize previously acquired knowledge to solve similar problems more effectively and quickly. Therefore, in this research, we introduce two plant disease detection (PDDNet) models of early fusion (AE) and the lead voting ensemble (LVE) integrated with nine pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and fine-tuned by deep feature extraction for efficient plant disease identification and classification. The experiments were carried out on 15 classes of the popular PlantVillage dataset, which has 54,305 image samples of different plant disease species in 38 categories. Hyperparameter fine-tuning was done with popular pre-trained models, including DenseNet201, ResNet101, ResNet50, GoogleNet, AlexNet, ResNet18, EfficientNetB7, NASNetMobile, and ConvNeXtSmall. We test these CNNs on the stated plant disease detection and classification problem, both independently and as part of an ensemble. In the final phase, a logistic regression (LR) classifier is utilized to determine the performance of various CNN model combinations. A comparative analysis was also performed on classifiers, deep learning, the proposed model, and similar state-of-the-art studies. The experiments demonstrated that PDDNet-AE and PDDNet-LVE achieved 96.74% and 97.79%, respectively, compared to current CNNs when tested on several plant diseases, depicting its exceptional robustness and generalization capabilities and mitigating current concerns in plant disease detection and classification.

Deep Learning for Plant Identification and Disease Classification from Leaf Images: Multi-prediction Approaches

Deep learning (DL) plays an important role in modern agriculture, especially in plant pathology using leaf images where convolutional neural networks (CNN) are attracting a lot of attention. While numerous reviews have explored the applications of DL within this research domain, there remains a notable absence of an empirical study to offer insightful comparisons due to the employment of varied datasets in the evaluation. Furthermore, a majority of these approaches tend to address the problem as a singular prediction task, overlooking the multifaceted nature of predicting various aspects of plant species and disease types. Lastly, there is an evident need for a more profound consideration of the semantic relationships that underlie plant species and disease types. In this article, we start our study by surveying current DL approaches for plant identification and disease classification. We categorise the approaches into multi-model, multi-label, multi-output, and multi-task, in which different backbone CNNs can be employed. Furthermore, based on the survey of existing approaches in plant pathology and the study of available approaches in machine learning, we propose a new model named Generalised Stacking Multi-output CNN (GSMo-CNN). To investigate the effectiveness of different backbone CNNs and learning approaches, we conduct an intensive experiment on three benchmark datasets Plant Village, Plant Leaves, and PlantDoc. The experimental results demonstrate that InceptionV3 can be a good choice for a backbone CNN as its performance is better than AlexNet, VGG16, ResNet101, EfficientNet, MobileNet, and a custom CNN developed by us. Interestingly, there is empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that using a single model for both tasks can be comparable or better than using two models, one for each task. Finally, we show that the proposed GSMo-CNN achieves state-of-the-art performance on three benchmark datasets.

Tuned weighted feature fusion with hybridized DNN-RNN framework for plant disease detection and classification

ABSTRACT In the world economy, agriculture is an essential part among individuals to earn money. But, the farmers face more obstacles because more diseases naturally affect the health of the plant. Hence, to overcome this limitation, automatic plant disease identification techniques are essential to monitor the growth as well as disease-affected plants and leaves. In most plants, symptoms related to plant disease can be identified by considering the leaves. Moreover, plant disease identification became more essential with deep learning architecture. Hence, it is important to enhance the solution for resource-constrained portable devices like smartphones, but it become a complicated issue as the deeply structured methods utilize extensive resources for the analysis. Hence, this paper aims to develop an automated plant disease detection framework with an advanced set of plant features. The plant images are taken from online sources. The acquired plant images undergo image enhancement using the contrast enhancement process. The enhanced images are fed in the feature retrieval phase 1, where the segmentation takes place using the Centre Optimized K-means clustering (CO-KMC) with the Modified Random Variable-based Black Widow Optimization (MRV-BWO). Later, the segmented images obtain the colour, shape, and texture features and they are considered as the first set of features. The second set of features is retrieved from the enhanced images using Multi-scale Dilated Attention CNN (MSDA-CNN). These two features are fused by the weighted feature fusion process using the developed MRV-BWO. Then, the plant diseases are detected using the Hybridized Deep Neural Network with Recurrent Neural Network (HDNN-RNN), which comprises RNN and DNN models. The parameter optimization takes place in the hybrid HDNN-RNN for improving the detection efficiency using MRV-BWO. From the verification of the findings, the recommended model obtains a 96.47 precision and accuracy rate. Therefore, the simulation results of the offered model reveal that it achieves enriched efficacy when comparing other baseline approaches.

Plant Disease Detection and Classification Using Deep Learning Methods: A Comparison Study

The presence issue of inaccurate plant disease detection persists under real field conditions and most deep learning (DL) techniques still struggle to achieve real-time performance. Hence, challenges in choosing a suitable deep-learning technique to tackle the problem should be addressed. Plant diseases have a detrimental effect on agricultural yield, hence early detection is crucial to prevent food insecurity. To identify and categorise the indications of plant diseases, numerous developed or modified DL architectures are utilised. This paper aims to observe the performance of the YOLOv8 model, which has better performance than its predecessors, on a small-scale plant disease dataset. This paper also aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of plant disease detection and classification methods by proposing an optimised and lightweight YOLOv8 architecture model. It trains the YOLOv8 model on a public dataset and optimises the YOLOv8 algorithm with the integration of the GhostNet module into the backbone architecture to cut down the number of parameters for a faster computational algorithm. In addition, the architecture incorporates a Coordinate Attention (CA) mechanism module, which further enhances the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Our results demonstrate that the combination of YOLOv8s with CA mechanism and transfer learning obtained the best result, yielding score of 72.2% which surpassed the studies that utilised the same dataset. Without transfer learning, our best result is demonstrated by YOLOv8s with GhostNet and CA mechanism yielding a score of 69.3%.

Rice is the most important crop in global food security and socioeconomic stability. A part of the world's population makes rice a food requirement but the problem is found that all rice varieties suffer from several diseases and pests. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the quality of healthy and proper rice growth by detecting diseases present in rice plants and treatment of affected plants. In this study, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm was applied in classifying diseases on the leaves of rice plants by experimenting with several parameters and architecture to get the best accuracy.

Division of image data with 70:30 ratio of training data and test data; 80:20; 90:10. From these results, it was found that Adam was the best optimizer in the 80:20 data division in this study with an accuracy level of 0.9992, followed by the SGD optimizer with an accuracy level of 0.9983, while the RMSProp optimizer was ranked third with an accuracy level of 0.9978.

Augmented Rice Plant Disease Detection with Convolutional Neural Networks

The recognition and classification of rice plant diseases require an accurate system to generate classification data. Types of rice diseases can be identified in several ways, one of which is leaf characterization. One method that has high accuracy in identifying plant disease types is Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). However, the rice disease data used has unbalanced data which affects the performance of the method. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to apply data augmentation to handle unbalanced rice disease data to improve the performance of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method for rice disease type detection based on leaf images. The method used in this research is the CNN method for detecting rice disease types based on leaf images. The result of this research was the CNN method with 100 epochs able to produce an accuracy of 99.7% in detecting rice diseases based on leaf images with a division of 80% training data (2438 data) and 20% testing data (608 data). The conclusion is that the CNN method with the augmentation process can be used in rice disease detection because it has very high accuracy.

Leaf disease detection using deep Convolutional Neural Networks

The automatic recognition of plant diseases is of crucial importance for the current development of agriculture. Fast and efficient identification can greatly reduce the natural, economic, and human resource loss caused to agricultural practitioners. Deep neural networks allow computers to learn plant disease detection in an end-to-end manner, thereby obtaining better results and higher efficiency. While Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models have become a well-established tool for detecting plant diseases, the lack of robustness of the models due to environmental variations remains to be a critical concern. Recent research into overcoming this challenge includes domain adaptation (DA) algorithms like classic Domain-Adversarial Neural Network (DANN) or the innovative Multi-Representation Subdomain Adaptation Network with Uncertainty Regularization for Cross-Species Plant Disease Classification (MSUN). However, the topic remains under-explored as the newly developed methods were not tested on many crop species and diseases. This research focuses on four deep CNN models (MobileNet, VGG, GoogLenet, and ResNet). The models are developed and tested using the New Plant Diseases dataset on Kaggle, which comprises 70,000+ training images (offline-augmented) and 17,000+ validation images encompassing 38 different classes of healthy and diseased plant leaves. The models would be cross-evaluated upon their accuracy and training speed, as well as their change in performance after optimization and applying DA methods. With an uppermost accuracy of 86.4% in test dataset from the wild, results show that Transfer Learning, Model Ensemble as well as Domain Adaptation works effectively to increase the robustness of models which will ultimately benefit farmers in detecting plant diseases and deciding on the best treatment in real-time.

Utilization of Artificial Neural Network in Rice Plant Disease Classification Using Leaf Image

Rice is the name of the type of plant that is needed by humans in the world. The plant is used as the main source of energy by Most people in the world, especially on the Asian continent. The importance of rice plants makes rice widely planted in various regions. Most humans use rice as a staple crop. Therefore, rice production needs to be considered to meet the need for enough food for most people in the world. The main thing that needs to be considered in maximizing rice production is that when guarding rice plants, many factors that inhibit rice plants can be the cause of food crises in various regions. Therefore, the care of rice production needs to be considered. In addition to the lack of nutrients in water and soil in decreasing rice production, plant diseases also need to be considered. Some types of diseases that often attack rice plants include bacterial leaf blight, brown spots, and left smut. Therefore, there is knowledge of prevention efforts or early treatment before the disease attacks rice plants more widely. The efficacy of technology can be used in solving this problem, we can take advantage of artificial intelligence in it. Artificial intelligence is implemented for the detection of types of diseases in rice plants using image images on the leaves of rice plants. If the disease in rice plants can be detected, it will make it easier for rice plant farmers to overcome the disease. The ANN (Artificial neural network) algorithm can be used in this problem from the results of research on identifying the type of rice disease using the algorithm obtained an accuracy of 83%. This shows the ability of artificial intelligence in disease identification can help farmers detect types of diseases.

DIC-Transformer: interpretation of plant disease classification results using image caption generation technology

Disease image classification systems play a crucial role in identifying disease categories in the field of agricultural diseases. However, current plant disease image classification methods can only predict the disease category and do not offer explanations for the characteristics of the predicted disease images. Due to the current situation, this paper employed image description generation technology to produce distinct descriptions for different plant disease categories. A two-stage model called DIC-Transformer, which encompasses three tasks (detection, interpretation, and classification), was proposed. In the first stage, Faster R-CNN was utilized to detect the diseased area and generate the feature vector of the diseased image, with the Swin Transformer as the backbone. In the second stage, the model utilized the Transformer to generate image captions. It then generated the image feature vector, which is weighted by text features, to improve the performance of image classification in the subsequent classification decoder. Additionally, a dataset containing text and visualizations for agricultural diseases (ADCG-18) was compiled. The dataset contains images of 18 diseases and descriptive information about their characteristics. Then, using the ADCG-18, the DIC-Transformer was compared to 11 existing classical caption generation methods and 10 image classification models. The evaluation indicators for captions include Bleu1–4, CiderD, and Rouge. The values of BLEU-1, CIDEr-D, and ROUGE were 0.756, 450.51, and 0.721. The results of DIC-Transformer were 0.01, 29.55, and 0.014 higher than those of the highest-performing comparison model, Fc. The classification evaluation metrics include accuracy, recall, and F1 score, with accuracy at 0.854, recall at 0.854, and F1 score at 0.853. The results of DIC-Transformer were 0.024, 0.078, and 0.075 higher than those of the highest-performing comparison model, MobileNetV2. The results indicate that the DIC-Transformer outperforms other comparison models in classification and caption generation.

Enhanced symbiotic organism search optimization algorithm for plant disease classification

Since it satisfies all prerequisites for the growth of humanity, agriculture is currently regarded as being the most significant sector for civilization. One of the main forms of human energy production is thought to be plants, which also provide nutrients, cures, etc. Any damage or disease brought on by exposure to pathogens, viruses, bacteria, etc., while cultivating plants results in a decline in productivity, making it crucial to prevent such diseases and take the required precautions to avoid them. Accurately identifying such fatal diseases is a crucial first step for both the businesses and farmers. Six different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that accept plant leaf images as input, along with the Enhanced Symbiotic Organism Search (ESOS) optimization algorithm, have been implemented in our research. We intend to extensively contrast the various models based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. In the area of image recognition and classification, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), in particular, and deep learning, in general, are developing. The literature contains a variety of CNN designs. The dataset size, the number of classes, the model’s weights, hypermeters, and optimizers are a few examples of the variables that have an impact on a CNN model’s performance. Because of its benefits, transfer learning and fine-tuning a pre-trained model are now very popular. This study examines the impact of six popular CNN models: DenseNet, MobileNet, EfficientNet, VGG19, ResNet and Inception. As a result, DenseNet demonstrates an optimal accuracy rate of 98% when compared to other models.

Rapid Grapevine Health Diagnosis Based on Digital Imaging and Deep Learning.

Deep learning plays a vital role in precise grapevine disease detection, yet practical applications for farmer assistance are scarce despite promising results. The objective of this research is to develop an intelligent approach, supported by user-friendly, open-source software named AI GrapeCare (Version 1, created by Osama Elsherbiny). This approach utilizes RGB imagery and hybrid deep networks for the detection and prevention of grapevine diseases. Exploring the optimal deep learning architecture involved combining convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), deep neural networks (DNNs), and transfer learning networks (including VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and ResNet101V2). A gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was employed to measure the textural characteristics. The plant disease detection platform (PDD) created a dataset of real-life grape leaf images from vineyards to improve plant disease identification. A data augmentation technique was applied to address the issue of limited images. Subsequently, the augmented dataset was used to train the models and enhance their capability to accurately identify and classify plant diseases in real-world scenarios. The analyzed outcomes indicated that the combined CNNRGB-LSTMGLCM deep network, based on the VGG16 pretrained network and data augmentation, outperformed the separate deep network and nonaugmented version features. Its validation accuracy, classification precision, recall, and F-measure are all 96.6%, with a 93.4% intersection over union and a loss of 0.123. Furthermore, the software developed through the proposed approach holds great promise as a rapid tool for diagnosing grapevine diseases in less than one minute. The framework of the study shows potential for future expansion to include various types of trees. This capability can assist farmers in early detection of tree diseases, enabling them to implement preventive measures.

Plant disease detection and classification techniques: a comparative study of the performances

AbstractOne of the essential components of human civilization is agriculture. It helps the economy in addition to supplying food. Plant leaves or crops are vulnerable to different diseases during agricultural cultivation. The diseases halt the growth of their respective species. Early and precise detection and classification of the diseases may reduce the chance of additional damage to the plants. The detection and classification of these diseases have become serious problems. Farmers’ typical way of predicting and classifying plant leaf diseases can be boring and erroneous. Problems may arise when attempting to predict the types of diseases manually. The inability to detect and classify plant diseases quickly may result in the destruction of crop plants, resulting in a significant decrease in products. Farmers that use computerized image processing methods in their fields can reduce losses and increase productivity. Numerous techniques have been adopted and applied in the detection and classification of plant diseases based on images of infected leaves or crops. Researchers have made significant progress in the detection and classification of diseases in the past by exploring various techniques. However, improvements are required as a result of reviews, new advancements, and discussions. The use of technology can significantly increase crop production all around the world. Previous research has determined the robustness of deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) techniques such as k-means clustering (KMC), naive Bayes (NB), feed-forward neural network (FFNN), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier, fuzzy logic (FL), genetic algorithm (GA), artificial neural network (ANN), convolutional neural network (CNN), and so on. Here, from the DL and ML techniques that have been included in this particular study, CNNs are often the favored choice for image detection and classification due to their inherent capacity to autonomously acquire pertinent image features and grasp spatial hierarchies. Nevertheless, the selection between conventional ML and DL hinges upon the particular problem, the accessibility of data, and the computational capabilities accessible. Accordingly, in numerous advanced image detection and classification tasks, DL, mainly through CNNs, is preferred when ample data and computational resources are available and show good detection and classification effects on their datasets, but not on other datasets. Finally, in this paper, the author aims to keep future researchers up-to-date with the performances, evaluation metrics, and results of previously used techniques to detect and classify different forms of plant leaf or crop diseases using various image-processing techniques in the artificial intelligence (AI) field.
