Citrus fruit diseases have an egregious impact on both the quality and quantity of the citrus fruit production and market. Automatic detection of severity is essential for the high-quality production of fruit. In the current work, a citrus fruit dataset is preprocessed by rescaling and establishing bounding boxes with labeled image software. Then, a selective search, which combines the capabilities of both an extensive search and graph-based segmentation, is applied. The proposed deep neural network (DNN) model is trained to detect targeted areas of the disease with its severity level using citrus fruits that have been labeled with the help of a domain expert with four severity levels (high, medium, low and healthy) as ground truth. Transfer learning using VGGNet is applied to implement a multi-classification framework for each class of severity. The model predicts the low severity level with 99% accuracy, and the high severity level with 98% accuracy. The model demonstrates 96% accuracy in detecting healthy conditions and 97% accuracy in detecting medium severity levels. The result of the work shows that the proposed approach is valid, and it is efficient for detecting citrus fruit disease at four levels of severity.
Different kinds of techniques are evaluated and analyzed for various classification models for the detection of diseases of citrus fruits. This paper aims to systematically review the papers that focus on the prediction, detection, and classification of citrus fruit diseases that have employed machine learning, deep learning, and statistical techniques. Additionally, this paper explores the present state of the art of the concept of image acquisition, digital image processing, feature extraction, and classification approaches, and each one is discussed separately. A total of 78 papers are selected after applying primary selection criteria, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and quality assessment criteria. We observe that the following are widely used in the selected studies: hyperspectral imaging systems for the image acquisition process, thresholding for image processing, support vector machine (SVM) models as machine learning (ML) models, convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures as deep learning models, principal component analysis (PCA) as a statistical model, and classification accuracy as evaluation parameters. Moreover, the color feature is the most popularly used feature for the RGB color space. From the review studies that performed comparative analyses, we find that the best techniques that outperformed other techniques in their respective categories are as follows: SVM among the ML methods, ANN among the neural network networks, CNN among the deep learning methods, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) among the statistical techniques.This study concludes with meta-analysis, limitations, and future research directions.
In recent decades, deep-learning dependent fruit disease detection and classification techniques have evinced outstanding results in technologically advanced horticulture investigation. Due to the comparatively limited image processing capabilities of edge computing devices, implementing deep learning methods in actual field scenarios is currently difficult. The use of intelligent machines in contemporary horticulture is being hampered by these restrictions, which are emerging as a new barrier. In this research, we present an efficient model for citrus fruit disease prediction. The proposed model utilizes the fusion of deep learning models CNN and LSTM with edge computing. The proposed model employs an enhanced feature-extraction mechanism, with a down-sampling approach, and then a feature-fusion subsystem to ensure significant recognition on edge computing devices with retaining citrus fruit disease detection accuracy. This research utilizes the online Kaggle and plan village dataset which contains 2950 citrus fruit images with disease categories black spots, cankers, scabs, Melanosis, and greening. The proposed model and existing model are tested with two features with pruning and without pruning and compared based on various performance measuring parameters, i.e., precision, recall, f-measure, and support. In the first phase experimental analysis is performed using Magnitude Based Pruning and in the second phase Magnitude Based Pruning with Post Quantization. The proposed CNN-LSTM model achieves an accuracy rate of 97.18% with Magnitude-Based Pruning and 98.25% with Magnitude-Based Pruning with Post Quantization, which is better as compared to the existing CNN method.
