Performance analysis of deep learning CNN models for disease detection in plants using image segmentation

Food security for the 7 billion people on earth requires minimizing crop damage by timely detection of diseases. Most deep learning models for automated detection of diseases in plants suffer from the fatal flaw that once tested on independent data, their performance drops significantly. This work i...

description Food security for the 7 billion people on earth requires minimizing crop damage by timely detection of diseases. Most deep learning models for automated detection of diseases in plants suffer from the fatal flaw that once tested on independent data, their performance drops significantly. This work investigates a potential solution to this problem by using segmented image data to train the convolutional neural network (CNN) models. As compared to the F-CNN model trained using full images, S-CNN model trained using segmented images more than doubles in performance to 98.6% accuracy when tested on independent data previously unseen by the models even with 10 disease classes. Not only this, by using tomato plant and target spot disease type as an example, we show that the confidence of self-classification for S-CNN model improves significantly over F-CNN model. This research work brings applicability of automated methods closer to non-experts for timely detection of diseases.
