    Deep learning models have been successfully deployed for a diverse array of image-based plant phenotyping applications including disease detection and classification. However, successful deployment of supervised deep learning models requires large amount of labeled data, which is a significant challenge in plant science (and most biological) domains due to the inherent complexity. Specifically, data annotation is costly, laborious, time consuming and needs domain expertise for phenotyping tasks, especially for diseases. To overcome this challenge, active learning algorithms have been proposed that reduce the amount of labeling needed by deep learning models to achieve good predictive performance. Active learning methods adaptively select samples to annotate using an acquisition function to achieve maximum (classification) performance under a fixed labeling budget. We report the performance of four different active learning methods, (1) Deep Bayesian Active Learning (DBAL), (2) Entropy, (3) Least Confidence, and (4) Coreset, with conventional random sampling-based annotation for two different image-based classification datasets. The first image dataset consists of soybean [Glycine max L. (Merr.)] leaves belonging to eight different soybean stresses and a healthy class, and the second consists of nine different weed species from the field. For a fixed labeling budget, we observed that the classification performance of deep learning models with active learning-based acquisition strategies is better than random sampling-based acquisition for both datasets. The integration of active learning strategies for data annotation can help mitigate labelling challenges in the plant sciences applications particularly where deep domain knowledge is required

    In recent years plant disease detection and classification is finding a lot of scope in the field of agriculture. The use of image pre-processing along with deep learning techniques is making the role of farmers easy in the process of plant leaf disease detection. In this paper we propose a deep learning technique, ResNet-50 for the identification and classification of leaf diseases mainly in banana and sunflower. Images for the training and testing purpose are collected by visiting the farms and from village dataset for normal, leaf spot, leaf blight, powdery mildew, bunchy top, sigatoka, panama wilt. Pre-processing is done to remove eliminate the noise in the image by converting the RGB input to HSV image. Binary pictures are retrieved to separate the diseased and unaffected portions based on the hue and saturation components. A clustering method is utilized to separate the diseased region from the normal portion and the background. Classification of the disease is carried out using ResNet-50 algorithm. The experimental results obtained are compared with CNN, machine learning algorithms like SVM, KNN, DT and Ensemble algorithm like RF and XG booster. The proposed algorithm provided maximum efficiency compared to other algorithms

    Recent breakthroughs in deep learning-based convolutional neural networks have significantly improved image categorization accuracy. Deep learning-based techniques for diagnosing illnesses from rice plant images have been created in this work, inspired by the realisation of CNNs in image classification. Smart monitoring technologies for the automatic identification of plant diseases are extremely beneficial to sustainable agriculture. Despite the fact that various mechanisms for plant disease categorization have been created in recent years, an inefficient technique based on evidence from picture samples is of concern for ground environments. In this study, an image processing technique for pre-processing and segmentation was used, as well as a multi-class convolutional neural network with transfer learning, to classify rice plant leaf diseases such as brown spot, hispa, leaf blast, and healthy class. The contaminated area was automatically separated from the healthy areas of the image using canny edge detection and k-means clustering, and the features were retrieved using the CNN model. In the experimental results, the CNN model without transfer learning is compared to the transfer learning model. VGGNet transfer learning is used to construct a multi-classification framework for each class of rice illness. The overall accuracy acquired by the CNN model without transfer learning is 92.14%, whereas the accuracy obtained by the transfer learning model is 94.80%.The current work demonstrates that the proposed technique is compelling and capable of recognizing rice plant illness for four classes

    Early detection and identification of plant diseases from leaf images using machine learning is an important and challenging research area in the field of agriculture. There is a need for such kinds of research studies in India because agriculture is one of the main sources of income which contributes seventeen percent of the total gross domestic product (GDP). Effective and improved crop products can increase the farmer's profit as well as the economy of the country. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the different research works carried out in the field of plant disease detection using both state-of-art, handcrafted-features- and deep-learning-based techniques are presented. We address the challenges faced in the identification of plant diseases using handcrafted-features-based approaches. The application of deep-learning-based approaches overcomes the challenges faced in handcrafted-features-based approaches. This survey provides the research improvement in the identification of plant diseases from handcrafted-features-based to deep-learning-based models. We report that deep-learning-based approaches achieve significant accuracy rates on a particular dataset, but the performance of the model may be decreased significantly when the system is tested on field image condition or on different datasets. Among the deep learning models, deep learning with an inception layer such as GoogleNet and InceptionV3 have better ability to extract the features and produce higher performance results. We also address some of the challenges that are needed to be solved to identify the plant diseases effectively.Web of Science1117art. no. 264

    Monitoring plant health is crucial for maintaining agricultural productivity and food safety. Disruptions in the plant's normal state, caused by diseases, often interfere with essential plant activities, and timely detection of these diseases can significantly mitigate crop loss. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based approach for efficient detection of plant diseases using drone-captured imagery. A comprehensive database of various plant species, exhibiting numerous diseases, was compiled from the Internet and utilized as the training and test dataset. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), renowned for its performance in image classification tasks, was employed as our primary predictive model. The CNN model, trained on this rich dataset, demonstrated superior proficiency in crop disease categorization and detection, even under challenging imaging conditions. For field implementation, we deployed a prototype drone model equipped with a high-resolution camera for live monitoring of extensive agricultural fields. The captured images served as the input for our trained model, enabling real-time identification of healthy and diseased plants. Our approach promises an efficient and scalable solution for improving crop health monitoring systems

    Benchmarking Self-Supervised Contrastive Learning Methods for Image-based Plant Phenotyping

    Image-based plant phenotyping enables the high-throughput measurement of the physical characteristics of plants by combining one or more imaging technologies with image analysis tools. Over the past decade, deep learning has been widely successful for image-based tasks like image classification, object detection, image segmentation and object counting. While deep learning has been applied to image-based plant phenotyping tasks like plant species classification, plant disease detection, and leaf counting, its application has been limited. Part of the reason for this is that deep learning models tend to rely on large annotated datasets for training, and it can be expensive and time consuming to generate such datasets. Motivated by the need to leverage unlabelled data, a lot of research effort has recently been directed towards the area of self-supervised learning (SSL). The common theme among various SSL methods is that they derive the supervisory signal from the data itself, usually by distorting the input in some way and learning features that are invariant to the distortions. Despite the surge of research in this area, there has been a paucity of research applying self-supervised learning on image-based plant phenotyping tasks, particularly detection and counting tasks. We address this gap by benchmarking two self-supervised learning methods -- MoCo v2 and DenseCL -- on four image-based plant phenotyping tasks (the downstream tasks): wheat head detection, plant instance detection, wheat spikelet counting and leaf counting. We study the effects of the domain of the pre-training dataset on the transfer performance using four large-scale datasets: ImageNet (general purpose concepts), iNaturalist 2021 (natural world images), iNaturalist 2021 Plants (plant images) and the TerraByte Field Crop datatset (crop images). To understand the differences between the internal representations of the neural networks trained with the different methods, we applied a representation similarity analysis technique known as orthogonal Procrustes distance. Our results show that (1) Finetuning a model that is pre-trained with an SSL method typically outperforms training from scratch for a downstream task, (2) The Supervised pre-training method outperforms DenseCL and MoCo v2 for all the downstream tasks, except for the leaf counting task where DenseCL excels, (3) There is not much difference, both in the downstream performance and the internal representations, between MoCo v2 and DenseCL pre-trained models, (4) Pre-training with the iNaturalist 2021 Plants dataset leads to the best downstream performance more often than other datasets, and (5) Models pre-trained in a supervised manner learn more dissimilar features towards the last layers compared to models pre-trained with MoCo v2 or DenseCL. We hope that this benchmark/evaluation study will inspire further studies towards the development of better self-supervised representation learning methods for image-based plant phenotyping tasks
