Um arcabouço para seleção e fusão de classificadores de padrão
Orientadores: Ricardo da Silva Torres, Anderson RochaTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ComputaçãoResumo: O crescente aumento de dados visuais, seja pelo uso de inúmeras câmeras de vídeo monitoramento disponíveis ou pela popularização de dispositivos móveis que permitem pessoas criar, editar e compartilhar suas próprias imagens/vídeos, tem contribuído enormemente para a chamada ''big data revolution". Esta grande quantidade de dados visuais dá origem a uma caixa de Pandora de novos problemas de classificação visuais nunca antes imaginados. Tarefas de classificação de imagens e vídeos foram inseridos em diferentes e complexas aplicações e o uso de soluções baseadas em aprendizagem de máquina tornou-se mais popular para diversas aplicações. Entretanto, por outro lado, não existe uma ''bala de prata" que resolva todos os problemas, ou seja, não é possível caracterizar todas as imagens de diferentes domínios com o mesmo método de descrição e nem utilizar o mesmo método de aprendizagem para alcançar bons resultados em qualquer tipo de aplicação. Nesta tese, propomos um arcabouço para seleção e fusão de classificadores. Nosso método busca combinar métodos de caracterização de imagem e aprendizagem por meio de uma abordagem meta-aprendizagem que avalia quais métodos contribuem melhor para solução de um determinado problema. O arcabouço utiliza três diferentes estratégias de seleção de classificadores para apontar o menos correlacionados e eficazes, por meio de análises de medidas de diversidade. Os experimentos mostram que as abordagens propostas produzem resultados comparáveis aos famosos métodos da literatura para diferentes aplicações, utilizando menos classificadores e não sofrendo com problemas que afetam outras técnicas como a maldição da dimensionalidade e normalização. Além disso, a nossa abordagem é capaz de alcançar resultados eficazes de classificação usando conjuntos de treinamento muito reduzidosAbstract: The frequent growth of visual data, either by countless available monitoring video cameras or the popularization of mobile devices that allow each person to create, edit, and share their own images and videos have contributed enormously to the so called ''big-data revolution''. This shear amount of visual data gives rise to a Pandora box of new visual classification problems never imagined before. Image and video classification tasks have been inserted in different and complex applications and the use of machine learning-based solutions has become the most popular approach to several applications. Notwithstanding, there is no silver bullet that solves all the problems, i.e., it is not possible to characterize all images of different domains with the same description method nor is it possible to use the same learning method to achieve good results in any kind of application. In this thesis, we aim at proposing a framework for classifier selection and fusion. Our method seeks to combine image characterization and learning methods by means of a meta-learning approach responsible for assessing which methods contribute more towards the solution of a given problem. The framework uses three different strategies of classifier selection which pinpoints the less correlated, yet effective, classifiers through a series of diversity measure analysis. The experiments show that the proposed approaches yield comparable results to well-known algorithms from the literature on many different applications but using less learning and description methods as well as not incurring in the curse of dimensionality and normalization problems common to some fusion techniques. Furthermore, our approach is able to achieve effective classification results using very reduced training setsDoutoradoCiência da ComputaçãoDoutor em Ciência da Computaçã
A Framework for Crop Disease Detection Using Feature Fusion Method
Crop disease detection methods vary from traditional machine learning, which uses Hand-Crafted Features (HCF) to the current deep learning techniques that utilize deep features. In this study, a hybrid framework is designed for crop disease detection using feature fusion. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used for high level features that are fused with HCF. Cepstral coefficients of RGB images are presented as one of the features along with the other popular HCF. The proposed hybrid model is tested on the whole leaf images and also on the image patches which have individual lesions. The experimental results give an enhanced performance with a classification accuracy of 99.93% for the whole leaf images and 99.74% for the images with individual lesions. The proposed model also shows a significant improvement in comparison to the state-of-art techniques. The improved results show the prominence of feature fusion and establish cepstral coefficients as a pertinent feature for crop disease detection
A Novel Paddy Leaf Disease Detection Framework using Optimal Leaf Disease Features in Adaptive Deep Temporal Context Network
Since paddy has become the staple food for all human beings, crop productivity is highly demanded. Nowadays, the agriculture industry faces the leaf disease issue as the insect or pests affects the plant leaves to hinder further growth. Owing to this, the productivity gets affected that makes the farmers have economic loss. In earlier time, several methods have been explored to detect the disease significantly. However, such methods become more time consuming, structure complexity and other issues. To alleviate such complex, a new paddy leaf disease detection model is proposed using adaptive methodology. Initially, images related with paddy leaf are gathered from standard resources and offered as the input to segmentation region. Here, segmentation is performed by Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) to get the abnormal regions. Then, the segmented images are fed to ensemble feature extraction region to attain different features like deep, textural, morphological, and color features. Further, the acquired ensemble features are provided to concatenation phase to obtain the concatenate features and the optimal features are selected by the Fire Hawk Optimizer (FHO). Finally, the optimal features are subjected to paddy leaf detection phase, where leaf disease will be detected by Adaptive Deep Temporal Context Network (ADTCN), where the parameters are tuned by the FHO. Hence, the developed model secures efficient leaf disease detection rate than the classical techniques in the experiential analysis
Development of soft computing and applications in agricultural and biological engineering
Soft computing is a set of “inexact” computing techniques, which are able to model and analyze very complex problems. For these complex problems, more conventional methods have not been able to produce cost-effective, analytical, or complete solutions. Soft computing has been extensively studied and applied in the last three decades for scientific research and engineering computing. In agricultural and biological engineering, researchers and engineers have developed methods of fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, decision trees, and support vector machines to study soil and water regimes related to crop growth, analyze the operation of food processing, and support decision-making in precision farming. This paper reviews the development of soft computing techniques. With the concepts and methods, applications of soft computing in the field of agricultural and biological engineering are presented, especially in the soil and water context for crop management and decision support in precision agriculture. The future of development and application of soft computing in agricultural and biological engineering is discussed

These will include pre-processing for intensification, segmentation, feature extraction, and selection processes, machine learning-based classifiers, and deep learning models. In this work, researchers thoroughly examine and outline the various research opportunities in the field. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of citrus plants and orchards; Researchers used a systematic review to ensure comprehensive coverage of this topic
Review of the state of the art of deep learning for plant diseases: a broad analysis and discussion
Deep learning (DL) represents the golden era in the machine learning (ML) domain, and it has gradually become the leading approach in many fields. It is currently playing a vital role in the early detection and classification of plant diseases. The use of ML techniques in this field is viewed as having brought considerable improvement in cultivation productivity sectors, particularly with the recent emergence of DL, which seems to have increased accuracy levels. Recently, many DL architectures have been implemented accompanying visualisation techniques that are essential for determining symptoms and classifying plant diseases. This review investigates and analyses the most recent methods, developed over three years leading up to 2020, for training, augmentation, feature fusion and extraction, recognising and counting crops, and detecting plant diseases, including how these methods can be harnessed to feed deep classifiers and their effects on classifier accuracy
Boosting precision crop protection towards agriculture 5.0 via machine learning and emerging technologies: A contextual review
Crop protection is a key activity for the sustainability and feasibility of agriculture in a current context of climate change, which is causing the destabilization of agricultural practices and an increase in the incidence of current or invasive pests, and a growing world population that requires guaranteeing the food supply chain and ensuring food security. In view of these events, this article provides a contextual review in six sections on the role of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and other emerging technologies to solve current and future challenges of crop protection. Over time, crop protection has progressed from a primitive agriculture 1.0 (Ag1.0) through various technological developments to reach a level of maturity closelyin line with Ag5.0 (section 1), which is characterized by successfully leveraging ML capacity and modern agricultural devices and machines that perceive, analyze and actuate following the main stages of precision crop protection (section 2). Section 3 presents a taxonomy of ML algorithms that support the development and implementation of precision crop protection, while section 4 analyses the scientific impact of ML on the basis of an extensive bibliometric study of >120 algorithms, outlining the most widely used ML and deep learning (DL) techniques currently applied in relevant case studies on the detection and control of crop diseases, weeds and plagues. Section 5 describes 39 emerging technologies in the fields of smart sensors and other advanced hardware devices, telecommunications, proximal and remote sensing, and AI-based robotics that will foreseeably lead the next generation of perception-based, decision-making and actuation systems for digitized, smart and real-time crop protection in a realistic Ag5.0. Finally, section 6 highlights the main conclusions and final remarks
Large Area Land Cover Mapping Using Deep Neural Networks and Landsat Time-Series Observations
This dissertation focuses on analysis and implementation of deep learning methodologies in the field of remote sensing to enhance land cover classification accuracy, which has important applications in many areas of environmental planning and natural resources management.
The first manuscript conducted a land cover analysis on 26 Landsat scenes in the United States by considering six classifier variants. An extensive grid search was conducted to optimize classifier parameters using only the spectral components of each pixel. Results showed no gain in using deep networks by using only spectral components over conventional classifiers, possibly due to the small reference sample size and richness of features. The effect of changing training data size, class distribution, or scene heterogeneity were also studied and we found all of them having significant effect on classifier accuracy.
The second manuscript reviewed 103 research papers on the application of deep learning methodologies in remote sensing, with emphasis on per-pixel classification of mono-temporal data and utilizing spectral and spatial data dimensions. A meta-analysis quantified deep network architecture improvement over selected convolutional classifiers. The effect of network size, learning methodology, input data dimensionality and training data size were also studied, with deep models providing enhanced performance over conventional one using spectral and spatial data. The analysis found that input dataset was a major limitation and available datasets have already been utilized to their maximum capacity.
The third manuscript described the steps to build the full environment for dataset generation based on Landsat time-series data using spectral, spatial, and temporal information available for each pixel. A large dataset containing one sample block from each of 84 ecoregions in the conterminous United States (CONUS) was created and then processed by a hybrid convolutional+recurrent deep network, and the network structure was optimized with thousands of simulations. The developed model achieved an overall accuracy of 98% on the test dataset. Also, the model was evaluated for its overall and per-class performance under different conditions, including individual blocks, individual or combined Landsat sensors, and different sequence lengths. The analysis found that although the deep model performance per each block is superior to other candidates, the per block performance still varies considerably from block to block. This suggests extending the work by model fine-tuning for local areas. The analysis also found that including more time stamps or combining different Landsat sensor observations in the model input significantly enhances the model performance
Plant Leaf Disease Detection Using Efficient Image Processing and Machine Learning Algorithms
India is often described as a country of villages, where a majority of the population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The landscape of Indian agriculture is approximately 159.7 million hectares. Agriculture plays a pivotal role in India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounting for about 18% of the nation's economic output. Diseases and pests can have detrimental effects on crops, leading to reduced yields. These challenges can include the spread of plant diseases, infestations by insects or other pests, and the overall degradation of crop health. Early detection of diseases in crops is crucial for several reasons. Detecting diseases at an early stage allows for prompt intervention, such as applying appropriate pesticides or taking preventive measures. The main aim of this study is to develop a highly effective method for plant leaf disease detection using computer vision techniques. Here, leaf disease detection comprises histogram equalization, denoising, image color threshold masking, feature descriptors such as Haralick textures, Hu moments, and color histograms to extract the salient features of leaf images. These features are then used to classify the images by training Logistic Regression, Linear Discriminant Analysis, K-nearest neighbor, decision tree, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine algorithms using K-fold validation. K-fold validation is used to separate the validation samples from the training samples, and the K indicates the number of times this is repeated for the generalization. The training and validation processes are performed in two approaches. The first approach uses default hyperparameters with segmented and non-segmented images. In the second approach, all hyperparameters of the models are optimized to train segmented datasets. The classification accuracy improved by 2.19% by utilizing segmentation and hyperparameter tuning further improved by 0.48%. The highest average classification accuracy of 97.92% is achieved using the Random Forest classifier to classify 40 classes of 10 different plant species. Accurate detection of plant disease leads to the sustained growth of plants throughout the growing span of the plants
