| description | Abstract Leaf disease detection is a crucial task in modern agriculture, aiding in early diagnosis and prevention of crop infections. In this research paper, authors present a comprehensive study comparing nine widely used pre-trained models, namely DenseNet201, EfficientNetB3, EfficientNetB4, InceptionResNetV2, MobileNetV2, ResNet50, ResNet152, VGG16, and Xception, with our newly developed custom CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) for leaf disease detection. The objective is to determine if our custom CNN can match the performance of these established pre-trained models while maintaining superior efficiency. The authors trained and fine-tuned each pre-trained model and our custom CNN on a large dataset of labeled leaf images, covering various diseases and healthy states. Subsequently, the authors evaluated the models using standard metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, to gauge their overall performance. Additionally, the authors analyzed computational efficiency regarding training time and memory consumption. Surprisingly, our results indicate that the custom CNN performs comparable to the pre-trained models, despite their sophisticated architectures and extensive pre-training on massive datasets. Moreover, our custom CNN demonstrates superior efficiency, outperforming the pre-trained models regarding training speed and memory requirements. These findings highlight the potential of custom CNN architectures for leaf disease detection tasks, offering a compelling alternative to the commonly used pre-trained models. The efficiency gains achieved by our custom CNN can be beneficial in resource-constrained environments, enabling faster inference and deployment of leaf disease detection systems. Overall, our research contributes to the advancement of agricultural technology by presenting a robust and efficient solution for the early detection of leaf diseases, thereby aiding in crop protection and yield enhancement. |
