Automatic leaf disease detection techniques are effective for reducing the time-consuming effort of monitoring large crop farms and early identification of disease symptoms of plant leaves. Although crop tomatoes are seen to be susceptible to a variety of diseases that can reduce the production of the crop. In recent years, advanced deep learning methods show successful applications for plant disease detection based on observed symptoms on leaves. However, these methods have some limitations. This study proposed a high-performance tomato leaf disease detection approach, namely attention-based dilated CNN logistic regression (ADCLR). Firstly, we develop a new feature extraction method using attention-based dilated CNN to extract most relevant features in a faster time. In our preprocessing, we use Bilateral filtering to handle larger features to make the image smoother and the Ostu image segmentation process to remove noise in a fast and simple way. In this proposed method, we preprocess the image with bilateral filtering and Otsu segmentation. Then, we use the Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN) model to generate a synthetic image from the image which is preprocessed in the previous stage. The synthetic image is generated to handle imbalance and noisy or wrongly labeled data to obtain good prediction results. Then, the extracted features are normalized to lower the dimensionality. Finally, extracted features from preprocessed data are combined and then classified using fast and simple logistic regression (LR) classifier. The experimental outcomes show the state-of-the-art performance on the Plant Village database of tomato leaf disease by achieving 100%, 100%, 96.6% training, testing, and validation accuracy, respectively, for multiclass. From the experimental analysis, it is clearly demonstrated that the proposed multimodal approach can be utilized to detect tomato leaf disease precisely, simply and quickly. We have a potential plan to improve the model to make it cloud-based automated leaf disease classification for different plants.
自动叶片病害检测技术可有效减少监测大型作物农场和早期识别植物叶片病害症状的耗时工作。尽管番茄作物易患多种疾病,但会降低作物的产量。近年来,先进的深度学习方法在基于叶片观察到的症状进行植物病害检测方面显示出了成功的应用。然而,这些方法存在一些局限性。本研究提出了一种高性能的番茄叶片病害检测方法,即基于注意力的扩张卷积神经网络逻辑回归(ADCLR)。首先,我们使用基于注意力的扩张卷积神经网络开发了一种新的特征提取方法,以更快的时间提取最相关的特征。在预处理中,我们使用双边滤波来处理更大的特征,使图像更平滑,使用 Ostu 图像分割过程以快速简单的方式去除噪声。在提出的方法中,我们对图像进行双边滤波和 Otsu 分割预处理。然后,我们使用条件生成对抗网络(CGAN)模型从前一阶段预处理的图像生成合成图像。生成合成图像是为了处理不平衡和噪声或错误标记的数据,以获得良好的预测结果。然后,对提取的特征进行归一化以降低维度。最后,结合预处理数据提取的特征,然后使用快速简单的逻辑回归(LR)分类器进行分类。实验结果表明,在 Plant Village 番茄叶片病害数据库上取得了 100%、100%、96.6%的训练、测试和验证精度,达到了最新水平。通过实验分析,清楚地表明,所提出的多模态方法可用于精确、简单、快速地检测番茄叶片病害。我们有一个改进模型的计划,使其成为基于云的自动化叶片病害分类,适用于不同的植物。
