Abstract
AbstractAchieving accurate and reliable maize disease identification in complex environments is a huge challenge. This is because disease images obtained from natural environments are often in complex contexts that may contain elements similar to disease characteristics or symptoms. Based on cascade network and two-stage transformation learning, the new method is proposed in this paper and applied the improved method to the task of identification and classification of four maize leaf types in a complex environment. The proposed method has a cascade structure which consists of a Faster R-CNN leaf detector (denoted as LS-RCNN) and a CNN disease classifier, named CENet(Complex Environment Network). The LS-RCNN detector with an attention mechanism was used to detect maize leaves from the image, and the CENet model further classified the leaf images detected in the first stage into four categories: Cercospora leaf spot, Common rust, Northern Leaf Blight, and Healthy, which allowed image features to be extracted more efficiently. The subsequent use of a two-stage transfer learning strategy to train CENet models of disease images in complex contexts allows for faster training of the models while ensuring accuracy. The experimental results show that the proposed method is used to identify four types of maize leaves with an F1-score of 99.70%, which is better than some popular CNN models and others' methods, and has a more obvious advantage in terms of training speed. The model proposed in this experiment has a positive significance for exploring other Crop variety identification and classification under complex backgrounds.
