An advanced deep learning models-based plant disease detection: A review of recent research

Abstract

Plants play a crucial role in supplying food globally. Various environmental factors lead to plant diseases which results in significant production losses. However, manual detection of plant diseases is a time-consuming and error-prone process. It can be an unreliable method of identifying and preventing the spread of plant diseases. Adopting advanced technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) can help to overcome these challenges by enabling early identification of plant diseases. In this paper, the recent advancements in the use of ML and DL techniques for the identification of plant diseases are explored. The research focuses on publications between 2015 and 2022, and the experiments discussed in this study demonstrate the effectiveness of using these techniques in improving the accuracy and efficiency of plant disease detection. This study also addresses the challenges and limitations associated with using ML and DL for plant disease identification, such as issues with data availability, imaging quality, and the differentiation between healthy and diseased plants. The research provides valuable insights for plant disease detection researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals by offering solutions to these challenges and limitations, providing a comprehensive understanding of the current state of research in this field, highlighting the benefits and limitations of these methods, and proposing potential solutions to overcome the challenges of their implementation.

YOLO-Based Phenotyping of Apple Blotch Disease (Diplocarpon coronariae) in Genetic Resources after Artificial Inoculation

“…In recent years, several high-throughput phenotyping methods based on non-invasive imaging systems have been developed for the detection of foliar diseases. Most research in this field is limited to laboratory studies and relies on images of plant diseases taken in laboratory facilities [2]. Many of these methods are mostly based on deep learning (DL) techniques such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) [3,4] and have been successfully used to detect foliar diseases such as leaf spot, powdery mildew and rust [5][6][7].…”

“…Recently, object recognition has become an important tool for plant disease detection. This technique enables the identification and localisation of specific regions of interest in images and is closely related to traditional plant pest detection [2,9,10]. Meanwhile, YOLO (You Only Look Once) is one of the most commonly used object detection techniques.…”

Deep learning-based method to identify disease-resistance proteins inOryza sativaand relative species

“…Recently, DL methods such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and deep belief networks (DBNs) were found to detect plant diseases accurately (Shoaib et al, 2023). Similarly, prPred-DRLF, a DL-based model, was developed to predict plant resistance (R) protein (Wang et al, 2022).…”
