A Novel Deep Learning Model for Detection of Severity Level of the Disease in Citrus Fruits

Abstract

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.

Broadening the Research Pathways in Smart Agriculture: Predictive Analysis Using Semiautomatic Information Modeling

“…The proposed method is intended to assist farmers in categorizing agricultural land for cultivation into the most suitable, suitable, somewhat suitable, and unsuitable categories. In a recent study, researchers used citrus fruits data labeled by a domain expert with four severity levels (high, medium, low, and healthy) to train a deep neural network (DNN) model to detect disease by severity [19]. The model has a 98% likelihood of predicting low severity and a 98% chance of predicting high seriousness.…”

“…Deep learning has always been a hot topic in the field of computer research. Deep learning can achieve high-quality performance but requires more training time than supervised learning (23,24). The advantages and disadvantages of deep learning are obvious.…”

IoT BASED SECURED HEALTHCARE USING 6G TECHNOLOGY AND DEEP LEARNING TECHNIQUES

“…The issue of foreseeing infections in light of a patient's characteristic falls straightforwardly under the extent of profound learning strategies where the goal is to learn and repeat the dynamic capacity of a clinical professional as precisely as could be expected. The progressions in profound learning have considered expectation of future illnesses a patient can create in light of Electronic Health Record (EHR) [38]. We basically center around illnesses, information for which can be promptly acquired from computerized medical care frameworks [10].Several sicknesses have been endeavored to be demonstrated for recognition utilizing AI strategies [8].…”
