Enhanced leaf disease detection: UNet for segmentation and optimized EfficientNet for disease classification

This manuscript delineates the code developed for a published scholarly article aimed at supporting researchers in addressing plant leaf disease detection and classification (PLDC) challenges while evaluating the efficacy of various deep learning models. Furthermore, the research incorporates preprocessing strategies, correlation, segmentation employing the UNet model, feature extraction methods and EfficientNet model. The software model generates graphs such as confusion matrix, ROC curve (Receiver Operating Characteristic), and visual representations of loss and accuracy graphs. The initial research was disseminated in the Multimedia Tools and Applications journal, and the accompanying dataset was also introduced in the Data in Brief journal.
