Fruit Tree Disease Recognition Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

In order to realize the rapid and accurate recognition of fruit tree diseases in orchard environment, this paper puts forward a deep learning model based on Convolution Neural Network to identify fruit tree diseases. In this paper, the data set is processed by the Sobel operator and image enhancement respectively. Then, the network depth, convolution kernel, feature maps, and fully connected layer in the Convolution Neural Network structure use different parameters and softmax classifier. Differently composition networks are used to train processed dataset. Convolution Neural Network models are used to predict test sets, and the results show that deeper Convolution Neural Networks and mean pooling for tiny features in the dataset are more accurate. It can achieve the disease recognition, which includes cab disease, black rot, rust of apple leaves and bacterial spot disease of peach tree leaves. The model has a good recognition function for disease identification of fruit trees and can help real-time monitoring of orchard diseases.
