Abstract:

Classification and recognition techniques based on deep convolutional neural networks are proposed to solve the wheat disease identification problem. In this paper, the proposed method is compared and analyzed against existing wheat disease recognition models, and the promising results of applying deep learning technology in agricultural disease identification and monitoring are discussed. The experimental results show that the method based on the deep convolutional neural network is 3%, 4%, 5%, and 5% higher than the traditional EfficientNet network in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1, and can effectively identify wheat disease. We verified the effectiveness of the proposed components by ablation experiments, and the convergence speed of the model was significantly better than the existing models. The proposed identification model provides strong support for agricultural production and is expected to become one of the main technical tools in the field of agricultural disease identification and monitoring in the future.
