Ideally crop protection should prevent damaging effects of pests, diseases and weeds economically, safely and without harming the environment or inducing subsequent control problems. Present methods, based mainly on pesticides and resistant crop varieties, control many damaging organisms effectively but have...
For traditional machine vision-based plant diseases and pests detection method, conventional image processing algorithms or manual design of features plus classifiers are often used [2]. This kind of method usually makes use of the different properties of plant diseases and pests to design the imagin...
Plant diseases and pests are important factors determining the yield and quality of plants. Plant diseases and pests identification can be carried out by means of digital image processing. In recent years, deep learning has made breakthroughs in the fiel
Crop insect pest detection is the premise and foundation of crop insect pest identification and control [1, 2]. There are many crop insect pest detection methods [3, 4]. They are broadly divided into two categories: traditional machine learning (ML) [5] and deep learning (DL) [6,7,8]...
Population growth which has resulted in a need for increased crop yields to sustain food security, in addition to the effects of climate change, have led to the widespread use of chemical pesticides. The indiscriminate use of pesticides has in turn led t
