Automatic Detection and Classification of Dead Nematode-Infested Pine Wood in Stages Based on YOLO v4 and GoogLeNet

Pine wood nematode disease has harmed forests in several countries, and can be reduced by locating and clearing infested pine trees from forests. The target detection model of deep learning was utilized to monitor a pine nematode-infested wood. The detecting effect was good, but limited by low-resol...

description Pine wood nematode disease has harmed forests in several countries, and can be reduced by locating and clearing infested pine trees from forests. The target detection model of deep learning was utilized to monitor a pine nematode-infested wood. The detecting effect was good, but limited by low-resolution photos with poor accuracy and speed. Our work presents a staged detection and classification approach for a dead nematode-infested pine wood based using You Only Look Once version 4 (YOLO v4) and Google Inception version 1 Net (GoogLeNet), employing high-resolution images acquired by helicopter. Experiments showed that the detection accuracy of the staged detection and classification method and the method using only the YOLO v4 model were comparable for a dead nematode-infested pine wood when the amount of data was sufficient, but when the amount of data was limited the detection accuracy of the former was higher than that of the latter. The staged detection and classification method retained the fast training and detection speed of the one-stage target detection model, further improving the detection accuracy with limited data volume, and was more flexible in achieving accurate classification, meeting the needs of forest areas for pine nematode disease epidemic prevention and control.
