Abstract

Due to obstruction in photosynthesis, the leaves of the plants get affected by the disease. Powdery mildew is the main disease in cucumber plants which generally occurs in the middle and late stages. Cucumber plant leaves are affected by various diseases, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew and Alternaria leaf spot, which ultimately affect the photosynthesis process; that’s why it is necessary to detect diseases at the right time to prevent the loss of plants. This paper aims to identify and classify diseases of cucumber leaves at the right time using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). In this work, the Deep-CNN model based on disease classification is used to enhance the performance of the ResNet50 model. The proposed model generates the most accurate results for cucumber disease detection using data enhancement based on a different data set. The data augmentation method plays an important role in enhancing the characteristics of cucumber leaves. Due to the requirements of the large number of parameters and the expensive computations required to modify standard CNNs, the pytorch library was used in this work which provides a wide range of deep learning algorithms. To assess the model accuracy large quantity of four types of healthy and diseased leaves and specific parameters such as batch size and epochs were compared with various machine learning algorithms such as support vector machine method, self-organizing map, convolutional neural network and proposed method in which the proposed DCNN model gave better results.
