A Novel CNN Approach for Accurate Tomato Disease Classification

A Novel CNN Approach for Accurate Tomato Disease Classification
Ovidiu Cosma, Laura Cosma

Abstract. Plant diseases pose significant threats to agriculture, leading to substantial yield losses worldwide. Tomato crops are particularly affected by a wide range of pathogens, making accurate and timely disease detection critical for sustainable production. This paper proposes a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) approach for tomato disease classification, trained and tested on an image dataset featuring prevalent tomato diseases from the Plant Village dataset. The proposed architecture is designed to balance high classification accuracy with reduced computational requirements, making it suitable for deployment on resource-constrained devices used in smart agriculture, such as edge devices and mobile applications. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in distinguishing between different tomato diseases, outperforming several established CNN baselines in both accuracy and efficiency.

Keywords: convolutional neural networks; tomato disease classification; deep learning; smart agriculture; image classification

Evaluation of Feature Selection Methods in Estimation of Precipitation Based on Deep Learning Artificial Neural Networks

Evaluation of Feature Selection Methods in Estimation of Precipitation Based on Deep Learning Artificial Neural Networks

,

Precipitation is the most important element of the water cycle and an indispensable element of water resources management. This paper aims to model the monthly precipitation in 8 precipitation observation stations. The effects and role of different feature weights pre-processing methods (Weight by deviation, Weight by PCA, Weight by correlation, and Weight by Support Vector Machine) on artificial intelligence modeling were investigated.

A Comparison of different crossover operators in genetic algorithms for clusters shortest-path tree problem

, ,

The clustered shortest-path tree (CluSPT) problem is an extension of the classical shortest path problem, given a graph with the nodes partitioned into several mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive clusters looks for a shortest-path spanning tree from a predefined source node to all the other nodes of the graph, with the property that every cluster should generate a connected subgraph.
