Abstract

The major cause of plant mortality and devastation, particularly among trees is plant diseases. This problem, however, may be handled and treated effectively through early detection. Crop/plant diseases must be identified and prevented as soon as possible to improve yield. Plant disease classification and identification by plant protection professionals through eye observation is a time-consuming and error-prone process. Previously, many researchers used hand-crafted techniques for the detection and classification of diseases. Also, due to a lack of knowledge experts and improper laboratory facilities, classification at an early stage is not possible. In terms of precision agriculture applications, developing effective, rapid, and highly successful computer-aided disease detection systems have become a necessity. A deep learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN) technique is used successfully in numerous computer vision tasks such as picture classification, object detection, segmentation, and image analysis for finding the best results. The existing models had been worked on a mixed crop approach and single class dataset with average accuracy. In this paper, the Modified InceptionResNet-V2 (MIR-V2) which is a form of the CNN model is used in conjunction with a transfer learning approach to recognize illnesses in images of tomato leaves. The proposed model is trained on a public dataset and self-collected dataset that includes seven different tomato leaf disease classifications with one healthy leaf. For the evaluation of model performance, different parameters such as dropout, learning rate, batch size, count of epochs, and accuracy are used. The disease classification accuracy rate for the applied models is 98.92% and the F1 score is 97.94%. The experimental results support the suggested approach’s validity and find it effective in detecting tomato leaf disease.
