Identification of 29 Types of Plant Diseases using Deep Learning EfficientNetB3

Abstract

To supply the world's food needs in the midst of the existing food crisis, farmers urgently need to expand crop production. By establishing it simple to recognize the kind of plant disease so that earlier control efforts could be conducted, farmers' harvest failures driven on by disease attacks must be prevented. In this study, one of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures known EfficeintNetB3 is applied to generate a classification model for 29 different types of plant diseases. A model is created after 3,170 image data are used for validation and 57,067 image data were utilized for training. 3,171 image data tests were conducted as part of the model testing phase, and the total test results were produced an extraordinarily high accuracy score of 0.99 percentage and an F1-score
