Abstract

Silkworm diseases are a significant threat to the sericulture industry, with early detection remaining a major challenge due to limited resources. Timely identification of infected silkworms is essential to curb the spread of disease and reduce economic damage. This study focuses on diagnosing Grasserie disease, a highly contagious condition that can devastate silkworm populations, leading to substantial financial losses for farmers. To address the shortcomings of expert manual inspections, this study employed camera-captured images of silkworms for automated disease detection. A newly compiled dataset, consisting of 668 healthy silkworms and 574 infected with Grasserie disease, forms the basis of the investigation. The study applies machine learning techniques for image analysis, combining Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for feature extraction, Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) for dimensionality reduction, and supervised classification models. The results highlight the effectiveness of this approach in differentiating healthy silkworms from diseased ones. The machine learning model HOG integrated with KPCA and Decision Trees (DT) achieved strong performance, with accuracy, recall, and precision scores of 94.28%, 94.56%, and 92.48%, respectively. While these outcomes are encouraging, further research is needed to develop a practical IoT-based tool that enables sericulture farmers to quickly detect infections and take preventive measures, minimizing unexpected losses. This study marks a crucial advancement in silkworm disease detection, offering a pathway toward greater sustainability and economic stability in the sericulture sector.

Abstract

Silkworm diseases pose a major threat to the sericulture industry, with early detection remaining a challenge due to limited infrastructure. This study focuses on detecting Grasserie disease, which can rapidly spread in silkworm rearing units, leading to significant economic losses. A novel dataset of 668 healthy and 574 Grasserie-affected silkworm images forms the basis of this research. The study applies machine learning techniques, using the Histogram Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature descriptor combined with Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) and supervised classifiers. The integration of Support Vector Machines (SVM) with HOG and KPCA achieved high accuracy (93.16%), recall (93.38%), and precision (91.94%), offering a faster, more accurate alternative to manual detection methods. This approach holds great potential for developing real-time, IoT-based diagnostic tools that enable farmers to quickly identify infected silkworms, reducing disease spread and economic losses, and can be extended to other agricultural applications requiring early disease detection.
