Plant phenotypic image recognition (PPIR) is an important branch of smart agriculture. In recent years, deep learning has achieved significant breakthroughs in image recognition. Consequently, PPIR technology that is based on deep learning is becoming increasingly popular. First, this paper introduces the development and application of PPIR technology, followed by its classification and analysis. Second, it presents the theory of four types of deep learning methods and their applications in PPIR. These methods include the convolutional neural network, deep belief network, recurrent neural network, and stacked autoencoder, and they are applied to identify plant species, diagnose plant diseases, etc. Finally, the difficulties and challenges of deep learning in PPIR are discussed.

Various plant diseases are major threats to agriculture. For timely control of different plant diseases in effective manner, automated identification of diseases are highly beneficial. So far, different techniques have been used to identify the diseases in plants. Deep learning is among the most widely used techniques in recent times due to its impressive results. In this work, we have proposed two methods namely shallow VGG with RF and shallow VGG with Xgboost to identify the diseases. The proposed model is compared with other hand-crafted and deep learning-based approaches. The experiments are carried on three different plants namely corn, potato, and tomato. The considered diseases in corns are Blight, Common rust, and Gray leaf spot, diseases in potatoes are early blight and late blight, and tomato diseases are bacterial spot, early blight, and late blight. The result shows that our implemented shallow VGG with Xgboost model outperforms different deep learning models in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and specificity. Shallow Visual Geometric Group (VGG) with Xgboost gives the highest accuracy rate of 94.47% in corn, 98.74% in potato, and 93.91% in the tomato dataset. The models are also tested with field images of potato, corn, and tomato. Even in field image the average accuracy obtained using shallow VGG with Xgboost are 94.22%, 97.36%, and 93.14%, respectively.


Agriculture is the backbone and plays a vital role in many Asian countries. Farmers mainly depend on their agricultural produce for their living. A report says one-third of the farmers income account’s for the agricultural loss which is primarily due to plant diseases. To combat this farmers are in need of a early plant disease identification mechanism. Observation of individual plants in the farm for detecting the disease is labor-intensive and time consuming work, if the farm is vast and multiple plants are cultivated then it’s even worse. To solve such issues, current technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are used to predict the diseases more effectively. Farmers usually detect plant diseases with the help of images captured manually and analyzed separately by experts. The proposed system renders an efficient solution for detecting multiple diseases in several plant varieties. The system is designed to detect and recognize several plant varieties, specifically pepper, grapes, and strawberry. The proposed system discovers various plant’s various diseases based on the inputs obtained by capturing images from a built-in camera present in the Autonomous rover. The rover also record’s it’s GPS location and makes a map of the entire farm traced and checked by the robot. The images are processed and are classified into their respective categories using deep learning algorithms. Convolutional neural networks the powerful methodology for image classification is the underlying principle applied. The deep learning model’s architecture namely, VGG16 and InceptionResNetV2, are used to train the model. These models are primarily made of convolutional layers. On testing, we recorded am accuracy of 93.21% was obtained from VGG16, and 95.24% from InceptionResNetV2.

Plant diseases cause major yield and economic losses. To detect plant disease at early stages, selecting appropriate techniques is imperative as it affects the cost, diagnosis time, and accuracy. This research gives a comprehensive review of various plant disease detection methods based on the images used and processing algorithms applied. It systematically analyzes various traditional machine learning and deep learning algorithms used for processing visible and spectral range images, and comparatively evaluates the work done in literature in terms of datasets used, various image processing techniques employed, models utilized, and efficiency achieved. The study discusses the benefits and restrictions of each method along with the challenges to be addressed for rapid and accurate plant disease detection. Results show that for plant disease detection, deep learning outperforms traditional machine learning algorithms while visible range images are more widely used compared to spectral images.

Abstract Detection of plant disease has a crucial role in better understanding the economy of India in terms of agricultural productivity. Early recognition and categorization of diseases in plants are very crucial as it can adversely affect the growth and development of species. Numerous machine learning methods like SVM (support vector machine), random forest, KNN (k-nearest neighbor), Naïve Bayes, decision tree, etc., have been exploited for recognition, discovery, and categorization of plant diseases; however, the advancement of machine learning by DL (deep learning) is supposed to possess tremendous potential in enhancing the accuracy. This paper proposed a model comprising of Auto-Color Correlogram as image filter and DL as classifiers with different activation functions for plant disease. This proposed model is implemented on four different datasets to solve binary and multiclass subcategories of plant diseases. Using the proposed model, results achieved are better, obtaining 99.4% accuracy and 99.9% sensitivity for binary class and 99.2% accuracy for multiclass. It is proven that the proposed model outperforms other approaches, namely LibSVM, SMO (sequential minimal optimization), and DL with activation function softmax and softsign in terms of F-measure, recall, MCC (Matthews correlation coefficient), specificity and sensitivity.

With the increasing computational power, areas such as machine learning, image processing, deep learning, etc. have been extensively applied in agriculture. This chapter investigates the applications of the said areas and various prediction models in plant pathology for accurate classification, identification, and quantification of plant diseases. The authors aim to automate the plant disease identification process. To accomplish this objective, CNN has been utilized for image classification. Research shows that deep learning architectures outperform other machine learning tools significantly. To this effect, the authors have implemented and trained five CNN models, namely Inception ResNet v2, VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, and Xception, on PlantVillage dataset for tomato leaf images. The authors analyzed 18,160 tomato leaf images spread across 10 class labels. After comparing their performance measures, ResNet50 proved to be the most accurate prediction tool. It was employed to create a mobile application to classify and identify tomato plant diseases successfully.

Many plant diseases have distinct visual symptoms, which can be used to identify and classify them correctly. This article presents a potato disease classification algorithm that leverages these distinct appearances and advances in computer vision made possible by deep learning. The algorithm uses a deep convolutional neural network, training it to classify the tubers into five classes: namely, four disease classes and a healthy potato class. The database of images used in this study, containing potato tubers of different cultivars, sizes, and diseases, was acquired, classified, and labeled manually by experts. The models were trained over different train-test splits to better understand the amount of image data needed to apply deep learning for such classification tasks. The models were tested over a data set of images taken using standard low-cost RGB (red, green, and blue) sensors and were tagged by experts, demonstrating high classification accuracy. This is the first article to report the successful implementation of deep convolutional networks, popular in object identification, to the task of disease identification in potato tubers, showing the potential of deep learning techniques in agricultural tasks.
