Many applications of plant pathology had been enabled by the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). For instance, many researchers had used pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such as the VGG-16, Inception, and Google Net to mention a few, for the classifications of plant diseases. The trend of using AI for plant disease classification has grown to such an extent that some researchers were able to use artificial intelligence to also detect their severities. The purpose of this study is to introduce a novel approach that is reliable in predicting severities of the maize common rust disease by CNN deep learning models. This was achieved by applying threshold-segmentation on images of diseased maize leaves (Common Rust disease) to extract the percentage of the diseased leaf area which was then used to derive fuzzy decision rules for the assignment of Common Rust images to their severity classes. The four severity classes were then used to train a VGG-16 network in order to automatically classify the test images of the Common Rust disease according to their classes of severity. Trained with images developed by using this proposed approach, the VGG-16 network achieved a validation accuracy of 95.63% and a testing accuracy of 89% when tested on images of the Common Rust disease among four classes of disease severity named Early stage, Middle stage, Late Stage and Healthy stage.

Many plant diseases have distinct visual symptoms, which can be used to identify and classify them correctly. This article presents a potato disease classification algorithm that leverages these distinct appearances and advances in computer vision made possible by deep learning. The algorithm uses a deep convolutional neural network, training it to classify the tubers into five classes: namely, four disease classes and a healthy potato class. The database of images used in this study, containing potato tubers of different cultivars, sizes, and diseases, was acquired, classified, and labeled manually by experts. The models were trained over different train-test splits to better understand the amount of image data needed to apply deep learning for such classification tasks. The models were tested over a data set of images taken using standard low-cost RGB (red, green, and blue) sensors and were tagged by experts, demonstrating high classification accuracy. This is the first article to report the successful implementation of deep convolutional networks, popular in object identification, to the task of disease identification in potato tubers, showing the potential of deep learning techniques in agricultural tasks.

Plant diseases cause great damage in agriculture, resulting in significant yield losses. The recent expansion of deep learning methods has found its application in plant disease detection, offering a robust tool with highly accurate results. The current limitations and shortcomings of existing plant disease detection models are presented and discussed in this paper. Furthermore, a new dataset containing 79,265 images was introduced with the aim to become the largest dataset containing leaf images. Images were taken in various weather conditions, at different angles, and daylight hours with an inconsistent background mimicking practical situations. Two approaches were used to augment the number of images in the dataset: traditional augmentation methods and state-of-the-art style generative adversarial networks. Several experiments were conducted to test the impact of training in a controlled environment and usage in real-life situations to accurately identify plant diseases in a complex background and in various conditions including the detection of multiple diseases in a single leaf. Finally, a novel two-stage architecture of a neural network was proposed for plant disease classification focused on a real environment. The trained model achieved an accuracy of 93.67%.

As of 2020, the total area planted with crops in India overtook 125.78 million hectares. India is the second biggest organic product maker in the world. Thus, an Indian economy greatly depends on farming products. Nowadays, farmers suffer a drop in production due to a lot of diseases and pests. Thus, to overcome this problem, this article presents the artificial intelligence based deep learning approach for plant disease classification. Initially, the adaptive mean bilateral filter (AMBF) for noise removal and enhancement operations. Then, Gaussian kernel fuzzy C-means (GKFCM) approach is used to segment the effected disease regions. The optimal features from color, texture and shape features are extracted by using GLCM. Finally, Deep learning convolutional neural network (DLCNN) is used for the classification of five class diseases. The segmentation and classification performance of proposed method outperforms as compared with the state of art approaches.

Abstract Purpose Apart from patients with severe neurological deficits, it is not clear whether surgical or conservative treatment of lumbar disc herniations is superior for the individual patient. We investigated whether deep learning techniques can predict the outcome of patients with lumbar disc herniation after 6 months of treatment. Methods The data of 60 patients were used to train and test a deep learning algorithm with the aim to achieve an accurate prediction of the ODI 6 months after surgery or the start of conservative therapy. We developed an algorithm that predicts the ODI of 6 randomly selected test patients in tenfold cross-validation. Results A 100% accurate prediction of an ODI range could be achieved by dividing the ODI scale into 12% sections. A maximum absolute difference of only 3.4% between individually predicted and actual ODI after 6 months of a given therapy was achieved with our most powerful model. The application of artificial intelligence as shown in this work also allowed to compare the actual patient values after 6 months with the prediction for the alternative therapy, showing deviations up to 18.8%. Conclusion Deep learning in the supervised form applied here can identify patients at an early stage who would benefit from conservative therapy, and on the contrary avoid painful and unnecessary delays for patients who would profit from surgical therapy. In addition, this approach can be used in many other areas of medicine as an effective tool for decision-making when choosing between opposing treatment options, despite small patient groups.

Plant diseases are the essential thing which decreases the quantity as well quality in agricultural field. As a result, the identification and analysis of the diseases are important. The proper classification with least data in deep learning is the most challenging task. In addition, it is tough to label the data manually depending upon the selection criterion. Transfer learning algorithm helps in resolving this kind of problem by means of learning the previous task and then applying capabilities and knowledge to the new task. This work presents the convolution neural network-based model to predict and analysis the potato plant disease using plant village datasets with deep learning algorithms. Transfer learning with feature extraction model is employed to detect the potato plant disease. The results show that improved performance with an accuracy of 98.16%, precision of 98.18%, the recall value of 98.17% and the F1 score value of 98.169 %.

In the agricultural sector, plant leaf diseases and harmful insects represent a major challenge. Faster and more reliable prediction of leaf diseases in crops may help develop an early treatment technique while reducing economic losses considerably. Current technological advances in deep learning have made it possible for researchers to improve the performance and accuracy of object detection and recognition systems significantly. In this chapter, using images of plant leaves, the authors introduced a deep-learning method with different datasets for detecting leaf diseases in different plants and concerned with a novel approach to plant disease recognition model, based on the classification of the leaf image, by the use of deep convolutional networks. Ultimately, the approach of developing deep learning methods on increasingly large and accessible to the public image datasets provides a viable path towards massive global diagnosis of smartphone-assisted crop disease.


Plant diseases have been a major crisis that is disturbing the food production. So there is a need to provide proper procedures for plant disease detection at its growing age and also during harvesting stage. Timely disease detection can help the user to respond instantly and sketch for some defensive actions. This detection can be carried out without human intervention by using plant leaf images. Deep learning is progressively best for image detection and classification. In this effort, a deep learning based GoogleNet architecture is used for plant diseases detection. The model is trained using public database of 54,306 images of 14 crop varieties and their respective diseases. It achieves 97.82% accuracy for 14 crop types making it capable of further deployment in a crop detection and protection application.
