In this paper, a deep learning enabled object detection model for multi-class plant disease has been proposed based on a state-of-the-art computer vision algorithm. While most existing models are limited to disease detection on a large scale, the current model addresses the accurate detection of fine-grained, multi-scale early disease detection. The proposed model has been improved to optimize for both detection speed and accuracy and applied to multi-class apple plant disease detection in the real environment. The mean average precision (mAP) and F1-score of the detection model reached up to 91.2% and 95.9%, respectively, at a detection rate of 56.9 FPS. The overall detection result demonstrates that the current algorithm significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art detection model with a 9.05% increase in precision and 7.6% increase in F1-score. The proposed model can be employed as an effective and efficient method to detect different apple plant diseases under complex orchard scenarios.

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.

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

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.

Identifying of the plant diseases is essential in prevention of yield and volume losses in agriculture Product. Studies of plant diseases mean studies of visually observable patterns on the plant. Health surveillance and detecting diseases in plants is essential for sustainable development agriculture. It is very difficult to monitor plant diseases manually. It requires a lot of experiences in work, expertise in these field plant diseases and also requires excessive processing time. Therefore; image processing is used to detect plant diseases. Disease detection includes steps such as acquisition, image Pre-processing, image segmentation, feature extraction and Classification. We describe these methods for the detection of plant diseases on the basis of their leaf images; automatic detection of plant disease is done by the image processing and machine learning. The different leaf images of plant disease are collected and feature extracted of the various machine learning methods.


Plant diseases have been a major crisis that is disturbing the food production. So there is a need to provide proper procedures for plant disease detection at its growing age and also during harvesting stage. Timely disease detection can help the user to respond instantly and sketch for some defensive actions. This detection can be carried out without human intervention by using plant leaf images. Deep learning is progressively best for image detection and classification. In this effort, a deep learning based GoogleNet architecture is used for plant diseases detection. The model is trained using public database of 54,306 images of 14 crop varieties and their respective diseases. It achieves 97.82% accuracy for 14 crop types making it capable of further deployment in a crop detection and protection application.
