Abstract Capitalizing on canine olfactory capacity is a promising strategy for detecting and diagnosing human, animal, and plant diseases. The purpose of this review was to assess the extent of current research in canine disease detection. In this systematic review, multiple databases were searched for studies in which dogs were trained to detect diseases or health conditions. Following PRISMA guidelines, 1689 studies were screened and 50 relevant studies identified. The majority of studies (n = 31, 66%) took place in Europe. Lung cancer (n = 11, 22%), prostate cancer (n = 8, 16%), and breast cancer (n = 7, 14%) were the most frequently-studied conditions. Urine (n = 17, 34%) and breath (n = 9, 18%) were the most common sample types. Across all studies, 166 unique detection dogs were tested. The most numerous breed was Labrador Retrievers (n = 24, 14.46%). The median number of dogs per study was 2 (range: 1–20). To analyze experimental design and results, studies including multiple test paradigms were divided into sub-studies (n = 90). In 84.4% of sub-studies (n = 76), dogs were presented with sets of samples and 74.4% (n = 67) reported a constant number of samples per trial. The median number of samples per trial was 7 (range: 2–100). Of the sub-studies reporting a fixed number of positive samples (range: 1–10; n = 55), 87% (n = 48) presented one positive sample per trial. A plurality of sub-studies (n = 44, 49%) presented samples in a lineup. Sensitivity (median: 0.90; range: 0.13 to 1.0; n = 77) and specificity (median: 0.96; range: 0.08 to 1.0; n = 69) were the predominant measures of detection success, although reporting strategies were inconsistent. Dogs appear to have the capacity to detect disease via olfaction; yet the nascent nature of this discipline yields little consistency across studies.

Most of the Indian economy rely on agriculture, so identifying any diseases crop in early stages is very crucial as these diseases in plants causes a large drop in the production and economy of the farmers and therefore, degradation of the crop which emphasize on the early detection of the plant disease. These days, detection of plant diseases has become a hot topic in the area of interest of the researchers. Farmers followed a traditional approach for identifying and detecting diseases in plants with naked eyes, which didn’t help much as the disease may have caused much damage to the plant. Tomato crop shares a huge portion of Indian cuisine and can be prone to various Air-Bourne and Soil-Bourne diseases. In this paper, we tried to automate the Tomato Plant Leaf disease detection by studying the various features of diseased and healthy leaves. The technique used is pattern recognition using Back-Propagation Neural network and comparing the results of this neural network on different features set. Several steps included are image acquisition, image pre-processing, features extraction, subset creation and BPNN classification.

Agricultural production is one of the main factors affecting a country's domestic market situation. Many problems are the reasons for estimating crop yields, which vary in different parts of the world. Overuse of chemical fertilizers, uneven distribution of rainfall, and uneven soil fertility lead to plant diseases. This forces us to focus on effective methods for detecting plant diseases. It is important to find an effective plant disease detection technique. Plants need to be monitored from the beginning of their life cycle to avoid such diseases. Observation is a kind of visual observation, which is time-consuming, costly, and requires a lot of experience. For speeding up this process, it is necessary to automate the disease detection system. A lot of researchers have developed plant leaf detection systems based on various technologies. In this chapter, the authors discuss the potential of methods for detecting plant leaf diseases. It includes various steps such as image acquisition, image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification.

Plant diseases cause great damage in agriculture, resulting in significant yield losses. The recent expansion of deep learning methods has found its application in plant disease detection, offering a robust tool with highly accurate results. The current limitations and shortcomings of existing plant disease detection models are presented and discussed in this paper. Furthermore, a new dataset containing 79,265 images was introduced with the aim to become the largest dataset containing leaf images. Images were taken in various weather conditions, at different angles, and daylight hours with an inconsistent background mimicking practical situations. Two approaches were used to augment the number of images in the dataset: traditional augmentation methods and state-of-the-art style generative adversarial networks. Several experiments were conducted to test the impact of training in a controlled environment and usage in real-life situations to accurately identify plant diseases in a complex background and in various conditions including the detection of multiple diseases in a single leaf. Finally, a novel two-stage architecture of a neural network was proposed for plant disease classification focused on a real environment. The trained model achieved an accuracy of 93.67%.

Plant diseases are diseases that change or disrupt its important functions. The reduction in the age at which a plant dies is the main danger of plant diseases. And farmers around the world have to face the challenge of identifying and classifying these diseases and changing their treatments for each disease. This task becomes more difficult when they have to rely on naked eyes to identify diseases due to the lack of proper financial resources. But with the widespread use of smartphones by farmers and advances made in the field of deep learning, researchers around the world are trying to find a solution to this problem. Similarly, the purpose of this paper is to classify these diseases using deep learning and localize them on their respective leaves. We have considered two main models for classification called resnet and efficientnet and for localizing these diseases we have used GRADCAM and CAM. GRADCAM was able to localize diseases better than CAM

Background: In view of the existence of light shadow, branches occlusion, and leaves overlapping conditions in the real natural environment, problems such as slow detection speed, low detection accuracy, high missed detection rate, and poor robustness in plant diseases and pests detection technology arise.Results: Based on YOLOv3-tiny network architecture, to reduce layer-by-layer loss of information during network transmission, and to learn from the idea of inverse-residual block, this study proposes a YOLOv3-tiny-IRB algorithm to optimize its feature extraction network, improve the gradient disappearance phenomenon during network deepening, avoid feature information loss, and realize network multilayer feature multiplexing and fusion. The network is trained by the methods of expanding datasets and multiscale strategies to obtain the optimal weight model.Conclusion: The experimental results show that when the method is tested on the self-built tomato diseases and pests dataset, and while ensuring the detection speed (206 frame rate per second), the mean Average precision (mAP) under three conditions: (a) deep separation, (b) debris occlusion, and (c) leaves overlapping are 98.3, 92.1, and 90.2%, respectively. Compared with the current mainstream object detection methods, the proposed method improves the detection accuracy of tomato diseases and pests under conditions of occlusion and overlapping in real natural environment.

The Agriculture plant diseases are responsible for farmer economic losses. These diseases affect on plant root, fruit, leaf, and stem. Detection of disease at early stages helps the farmer to improve productivity. In the traditional system agriculture experts and experienced farmer can recognize the plant diseases at the lower accuracy which causes losses to farmers. Currently several researchers are proposing soft computing and expert systems to recognize plant diseases.  Plant disease identification by visual way is less accurate because some diseases do not have any visible symptoms or some of the diseases appear too late at the time of harvesting. The modern technology in agriculture sector can substantially improve the agriculture production & sustainability. This paper provides a review for fruit disease detection techniques for pomegranate plants. This study includes preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification techniques for pomegranate fruit diseases detection systems. This paper also states the comparison and limitations of existing fruit disease detection techniques.

The agriculture sector faces crop losses every year due to diseases around the globe, which adversely affect food productivity and quality. Detecting and identifying plant diseases at an early stage is still a challenge for farmers, particularly in developing countries. Widespread use of mobile computing devices and the advancements in artificial intelligence have created opportunities for developing technologies to assist farmers in plant disease detection and treatment. To this end, deep learning has been widely used for disease detection in plants with highly favorable outcomes. In this paper, we propose an efficient convolutional neural network-based disease detection framework in plum under true field conditions for resource-constrained devices. As opposed to the publicly available datasets, images used in this study were collected in the field by considering important parameters of image-capturing devices such as angle, scale, orientation, and environmental conditions. Furthermore, extensive data augmentation was used to expand the dataset and make it more challenging to enable robust training. Investigations of recent architectures revealed that transfer learning of scale-sensitive models like Inception yield results much better with such challenging datasets with extensive data augmentation. Through parameter quantization, we optimized the Inception-v3 model for deployment on resource-constrained devices. The optimized model successfully classified healthy and diseased fruits and leaves with more than 92% accuracy on mobile devices.

Presently, rapid and precise disease identification process plays a vital role to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner. Conventionally, human experts identify the existence of anomaly in plants occurred due to disease, pest, nutrient deficient, weather conditions. Since manual diagnosis process is a tedious and time consuming task, computer vision approaches have begun to automatically detect and classify the plant diseases. The general image processing tasks involved in plant disease detection are preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. This paper performs a review of computer vision based plant disease detection and classification techniques. The existing plant disease detection approaches including segmentation and feature extraction techniques have been reviewed. Additionally, a brief survey of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to identify plant diseases also takes place. Furthermore, a set of recently developed DL based tomato plant leaf disease detection and classification models are surveyed under diverse aspects. To further understand the reviewed methodologies, a detailed comparative study also takes place to recognize the unique characteristics of the reviewed models.
