Abstract:

To provide farmers with recognition services for horticultural crop leaf disease more conveniently and economically, a model training method based on transfer learning and a Web deployment method based on Flask are proposed. The PlantVillage dataset is preprocessed, and three recognition models are obtained by transfer learning using ResNet18, ResNet50 and ResNet152 models. Then, these three models are deployed to the server using Flask. The average recognition accuracy of the three models for 26 leaf diseases of 14 horticultural crops, such as apple, is 95.61%, 96.63% and 97.33%, respectively, and the recognition time of a single image is 10.9, 17.9 and 33.7 ms, respectively. Considering the characteristics of the model and users’ expectation, three fast, standard and accurate recognition patterns are designed to realize the stable operation of the deep model in the server, which has some practical value.
