Abstract

Automated leaf disease detection quickly identifies early symptoms, and saves time on large farms. Traditional methods like visual inspection and laboratory detection are prevalent despite being labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error. Recently, deep learning (DL) has emerged as a promising alternative for crop disease recognition. However, these models usually demand extensive training data and face problems in generalization due to the diverse features among different crop diseases. This complexity makes it difficult to achieve optimal recognition performance across all scenarios. To solve this issue, a novel ensemble approach INCVX-Net is proposed to integrate the three DL models, ‘Inception, visual geometry group (VGG)-16, and Xception’ using weighted averaging ensemble for tomato crop leaf disease detection. This approach utilizes the strengths of three DL models to recognize a wide range of disease patterns and captures even slight changes in leaf characteristics. INCVX-Net achieves an impressive 99.5% accuracy in disease detection, outperforming base models such as InceptionV2 (93.4%), VGG-16 Net (92.7%), and Xception (95.2%). This significant leap in accuracy demonstrates the growing power of ensemble DL models in disease detection compared to standalone DL models. The research paves the groundwork for future advancements in disease detection, enhancing precision agriculture through ensemble models.

Abstract

Early detection of plant diseases using convolutional neural network (CNN)is crucial for maximizing crop yield and minimizing economic losses. Manual inspection, the frequent technique, is inefficient and error prone. While CNN’s offer potential for accurate and quick disease recognition, their performance is highly dependent on effective hyperparameter tuning. This process is time consuming, resource intensive, and needs significant expertise due to the vast hyperparameter space, since it can be hard to figure out which is ideal for optimal performance. An effective optimization tool, tunable automated hyperparameter learning optimization system (TALOS), is proposed, which automates the tuning of hyperparameters by systematically exploring the hyperparameter space and evaluates different combinations of parameters to find the optimal configuration that maximize the model’s performance. The performance of this approach is recognizable through its exploration of five different hyperparameters across a search space of 32 combinations, yielding optimal parameters by the second round. Using 3030 tomato leaf images from a benchmark data set, the model achieves a remarkable 94.7% validation accuracy with 33647 trainable parameters. Thus, automated hyperparameter tuning approach not only optimizes model performance but also reduces manual effort and resource requirements, paving the way for more effective and scalable solutions in agricultural technology.
