Walnut leaves similar color and formation make distinguishing between varieties considerably challenging for individuals. Examining and categorizing such plant leaves one by one can be a time-consuming and costly process. Hence, experimental studies are conducted in laboratory settings to classify walnut varieties. Within the scope of this study, an original dataset consisting of 1751 walnut leaf images obtained from 18 different walnut varieties was prepared. Various preprocessing techniques were applied to the original dataset, and additionally, data augmentation methods were employed to obtain an expanded dataset. Both datasets were trained using deep learning models. Among these models, the Vgg16 CNN model demonstrated the most superior performance. The proposed model, trained with Vgg16 on the augmented dataset, produced Gradcam images and was further classified using the Vgg16 CNN algorithm. According to experimental test results, the proposed model achieved a success rate of 77.11%. This study demonstrates the successful utilization of deep learning techniques for classifying walnut varieties from walnut leaf images.
