Detection of Apple Leaf Diseases using Faster R-CNN
Abstract
Image recognition-based automated disease detection systems play an important role in the early detection of plant leaf diseases. In this study, an apple leaf disease detection system was proposed using Faster Region-Based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN) with Inception v2 architecture. Applications for the detection of diseases were carried out in apple orchards in Yalova, Turkey. Leaf images were obtained from different apple orchards for two years. In our observations, it was determined that apple trees of Yalova had black spot (venturia inaequalis) disease. The proposed system in the study detects a large number of leaves in an image, then successfully classifies diseased and healthy ones. The disease detection system trained has achieved an average of 84.5% accuracy.
