Abstract:

In this paper, a grading method of maize disease course based on U-Net algorithm model is proposed, which can quickly, accurately and objectively classify the degree of four kinds of common maize leaf diseases. In this method, the semantic segmentation of corn leaf disease spot image is realized by parallel operation of two groups of U-Net models. In the test image segmentation experiment, the MIoU value of disease spot segmentation is 93.63%, and the MIoU value of leaf segmentation is 96.33%, and the operation speed is completed in 1 second. The experimental results show that this study collects data sources by means of mobile phone photos, can achieve rapid grading of maize diseases without relying on professional instruments and equipment, and replace the previous method of disease identification by manual visual inspection. The accuracy and objectivity of disease grading are improved. Combined with the Internet of Things equipment, the model can achieve the goal of early warning of maize diseases, reducing the impact of diseases, increasing both production and income by science and technology benefiting farmers.

Key words: maize diseases, image processing, FCN, U-Net, course grading
