Recognizing plant diseases is a major challenge in agriculture, and recent works based on deep learning have shown high efficiency in addressing problems directly related to this area. Nonetheless, weak performance has been observed when a model trained on a particular dataset is evaluated in new greenhouse environments. Therefore, in this work, we take a step towards these issues and present a strategy to improve model accuracy by applying techniques that can help refine the model’s generalization capability to deal with complex changes in new greenhouse environments. We propose a paradigm called “control to target classes.” The core of our approach is to train and validate a deep learning-based detector using target and control classes on images collected in various greenhouses. Then, we apply the generated features for testing the inference of the system on data from new greenhouse conditions where the goal is to detect target classes exclusively. Therefore, by having explicit control over inter- and intra-class variations, our model can distinguish data variations that make the system more robust when applied to new scenarios. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach on our extended tomato plant diseases dataset with 14 classes, from which 5 are target classes and the rest are control classes. Our detector achieves a recognition rate of target classes of 93.37% mean average precision on the inference dataset. Finally, we believe that our study offers valuable guidelines for researchers working in plant disease recognition with complex input data.

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.

Deep learning with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has achieved great success in the classification of various plant diseases. However, a limited number of studies have elucidated the process of inference, leaving it as an untouchable black box. Revealing the CNN to extract the learned feature as an interpretable form not only ensures its reliability but also enables the validation of the model authenticity and the training dataset by human intervention. In this study, a variety of neuron-wise and layer-wise visualization methods were applied using a CNN, trained with a publicly available plant disease image dataset. We showed that neural networks can capture the colors and textures of lesions specific to respective diseases upon diagnosis, which resembles human decision-making. While several visualization methods were used as they are, others had to be optimized to target a specific layer that fully captures the features to generate consequential outputs. Moreover, by interpreting the generated attention maps, we identified several layers that were not contributing to inference and removed such layers inside the network, decreasing the number of parameters by 75% without affecting the classification accuracy. The results provide an impetus for the CNN black box users in the field of plant science to better understand the diagnosis process and lead to further efficient use of deep learning for plant disease diagnosis.


Plant disease detection is used to detect and identify symptoms of plant diseases. Detection of plant diseases through the naked eye is ineffective, especially because there are numerous diseases. Therefore, there is a need to develop low-cost methods to improve rapidity and accuracy of plant disease diagnosis. This paper presents an effective model for plant disease detection by using our developed deep learning approach. Extensive experiments were performed on the PlantVillage dataset, which contains 54,306 images categorized between 38 different classes containing 14 crop species and 26 diseases. Our proposed model demonstrated significant performance improvement in terms of accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score compared with the existing model used for plant disease detection.

The purpose of Agriculture is not only to feed ever growing population but it’s an important source of energy and a solution to solve the problem of global warming. Plant diseases are extremely significant, as that can adversely affect both quality and quantity of crops in agriculture production. Plant disease diagnosis is very essential in earlier stage in order to cure and control them. Generally the naked eye method is used to identify the diseases. In this method experts are involved who have the ability to detect the changes in leaf color. This method involves lots of efforts, takes long time and also not practical for the large fields. Many times different experts identify the same disease as the different disease. This method is expensive as it requires continuous monitoring of experts. Tree leaves and fruit diseases can increase the cost of agricultural production and may extend to total economic disaster of a producer if not cured appropriately at early stages. The producers need to monitor their crops and detect the first symptoms in order to prevent the spread of a plant disease, with low cost and save the major part of the production. Hiring professional agriculturists may not be affordable especially in remote isolated geographic regions. Machine learning algorithm in image can offer an alternative solution in plant monitoring and such an approach may anyway be controlled by a professional to offer his services with lower cost. It includes image segmentation and image classification approach to predict various types of diseases using Otsu thresholding method and convolutional neural network method.

Plant disease is one of the major threats to food security. Accurate diagnosis of plant diseases can benefit the agricultural production. For the purpose of real-time plant disease diagnostics, the deep learning models are employed. In this study, we present an accurate identification method for common diseases of tomatoes based on deep-learning methods. The devising of multi-resolution detector, in line with bounding box generating and assigning, facilitates the feature extracting process of detection. The employment of an dropout and ADAMW (Adaptive moment estimation with decoupled weight decay) optimizer further resolve the overfitting problem. Using the collected images of healthy and diseased tomatoes, our detector is trained to identify 10 different diseases. Experimental results showed that the disease identification method proposed in this study could accurately and rapidly identify common diseases of tomato with an average accuracy of 85.03%and a recognition speed of 61 frames per second, which was superior to other models under the same conditions and was beneficial for tomato disease control work.


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.

The phenomenon of phishing has now been a common threat, since many individuals and webpages have been observed to be attacked by phishers. The common purpose of phishing activities is to obtain user’s personal information for illegitimate usage. Considering the growing intensity of the issue, this study is aimed at developing a new hybrid rule-based solution by incorporating six different algorithm models that may efficiently detect and control the phishing issue. The study incorporates 37 features extracted from six different methods including the black listed method, lexical and host method, content method, identity method, identity similarity method, visual similarity method, and behavioral method. Furthermore, comparative analysis was undertaken between different machine learning and deep learning models which includes CART (decision trees), SVM (support vector machines), or KNN ( K -nearest neighbors) and deep learning models such as MLP (multilayer perceptron) and CNN (convolutional neural networks). Findings of the study indicated that the method was effective in analysing the URL stress through different viewpoints, leading towards the validity of the model. However, the highest accuracy level was obtained for deep learning with the given values of 97.945 for the CNN model and 93.216 for the MLP model, respectively. The study therefore concludes that the new hybrid solution must be implemented at a practical level to reduce phishing activities, due to its high efficiency and accuracy.

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.
