Automatic Plant Disease Detection Based on Tranvolution Detection Network With GAN Modules Using Leaf Images

Abstract

The detection of plant disease is of vital importance in practical agricultural production. It scrutinizes the plant's growth and health condition and guarantees the regular operation and harvest of the agricultural planting to proceed successfully. In recent decades, the maturation of computer vision technology has provided more possibilities for implementing plant disease detection. Nonetheless, detecting plant diseases is typically hindered by factors such as variations in the illuminance and weather when capturing images and the number of leaves or organs containing diseases in one image. Meanwhile, traditional deep learning-based algorithms attain multiple deficiencies in the area of this research: (1) Training models necessitate a significant investment in hardware and a large amount of data. (2) Due to their slow inference speed, models are tough to acclimate to practical production. (3) Models are unable to generalize well enough. Provided these impediments, this study suggested a Tranvolution detection network with GAN modules for plant disease detection. Foremost, a generative model was added ahead of the backbone, and GAN models were added to the attention extraction module to construct GAN modules. Afterward, the Transformer was modified and incorporated with the CNN, and then we suggested the Tranvolution architecture. Eventually, we validated the performance of different generative models' combinations. Experimental outcomes demonstrated that the proposed method satisfyingly achieved 51.7% (Precision), 48.1% (Recall), and 50.3% (mAP), respectively. Furthermore, the SAGAN model was the best in the attention extraction module, while WGAN performed best in image augmentation. Additionally, we deployed the proposed model on Hbird E203 and devised an intelligent agricultural robot to put the model into practical agricultural use.

High-Performance Plant Pest and Disease Detection Based on Model Ensemble with Inception Module and Cluster Algorithm

“…The yield of crops is the result of many factors, so it is a very complicated problem to estimate the degree of yield loss caused by diseases. Most foliar pests and diseases in crops are caused by pathogens that suck nutrients from the host, reduce the photosynthetic leaf area and interfere with the accumulation of organic matter and water physiology, but do not directly affect the harvested parts of the crop, such as fruits and ears [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Therefore, the relationship between disease severity and yield is more complicated, and it is more difficult to determine the disease types according to the symptoms and signs of leaves.…”
