In this study, computer vision applicable to traditional agriculture was used to achieve accurate identification of rice leaf diseases with complex backgrounds. The researchers developed the RiceDRA-Net deep residual network model and used it to identify four different rice leaf diseases. The rice leaf disease test set with a complex background was named the CBG-Dataset, and a new single background rice leaf disease test set was constructed, the SBG-Dataset, based on the original dataset. The Res-Attention module used 3 × 3 convolutional kernels and denser connections compared with other attention mechanisms to reduce information loss. The experimental results showed that RiceDRA-Net achieved a recognition accuracy of 99.71% for the SBG-Dataset test set and possessed a recognition accuracy of 97.86% on the CBG-Dataset test set. In comparison with other classical models used in the experiments, the test accuracy of RiceDRA-Net on the CBG-Dataset decreased by only 1.85% compared with that on the SBG-Dataset. This fully illustrated that RiceDRA-Net is able to accurately recognize rice leaf diseases with complex backgrounds. RiceDRA-Net was very effective in some categories and was even capable of reaching 100% precision, indicating that the proposed model is accurate and efficient in identifying rice field diseases. The evaluation results also showed that RiceDRA-Net had a good recall ability, F1 score, and confusion matrix in both cases, demonstrating its strong robustness and stability.
The current neural networks for tomato leaf disease recognition have problems such as large model parameters, long training time, and low model accuracy. To solve these problems, a lightweight convolutional neural network (LBFNet) is proposed in this paper. First, LBFNet is established as the base model. Secondly, a three-channel attention mechanism module is introduced to learn the disease features in tomato leaf disease images and reduce the interference of redundant features. Finally, a cascade module is introduced to increase the depth of the model, solve the gradient descent problem, and reduce the loss caused by increasing the depth of the model. The quantized pruning technique is also used to further compress the model parameters and optimize the model performance. The results show that the LBFNet model achieves 99.06% accuracy on the LBFtomato dataset, with a training time of 996 s and a single classification accuracy of over 94%. Further training using the saved weight file after quantized pruning enables the model accuracy to reach 97.66%. Compared with the base model, the model accuracy was improved by 28%, and the model parameters were reduced by 96.7% compared with the traditional Resnet50. It was found that LBFNet can quickly and accurately identify tomato leaf diseases in complex environments, providing effective assistance to agricultural producers.

Tomatoes are a crop of significant economic importance, and disease during growth poses a substantial threat to yield and quality. In this paper, we propose IBSA_Net, a tomato leaf disease recognition network that employs transfer learning and small sample data, while introducing the Shuffle Attention mechanism to enhance feature representation. The model is optimized by employing the IBMax module to increase the receptive field and adding the HardSwish function to the ConvBN layer to improve stability and speed. To address the challenge of poor generalization of models trained on public datasets to real environment datasets, we developed an improved PlantDoc++ dataset and utilized transfer learning to pre-train the model on PDDA and PlantVillage datasets. The results indicate that after pre-training on the PDDA dataset, IBSA_Net achieved a test accuracy of 0.946 on a real environment dataset, with an average precision, recall, and F1-score of 0.942, 0.944, and 0.943, respectively. Additionally, the effectiveness of IBSA_Net in other crops is verified. This study provides a dependable and effective method for recognizing tomato leaf diseases in real agricultural production environments, with the potential for application in other crops.
