Abstract

Agriculture and the plants and crops that are the results of it are essential to our everyday lives. Without agriculture our current society can not function and as such it is extremely important to make sure that we can assure that farms and farmers can continuously and steadily harvest enough produce. One big challenge that keep hindering the farming process are plant diseases that account for a large number of dead crops. They spread fast and can be troublesome to detect, especially manually. Datasets are also sparce and often lacking. To ease the detection process and speed it up, in an effort to aid farmers, we propose a pretrained MobileNet CNN deep learning AI model that can automatically detect maize/corn diseases from images. However, since data is rather sparce, not all diseases can be accounted for. This is why we have trained the model with one set of diseases (leaf spot and leaf blight) and healthy plant leaves, but tested it with a set of images of maize leaves that are infected with a disease the model has never seen before (leaf rust). The model has managed to not only learn and master the test set, but also managed to generalize to the before unseen rust infected leaf images. This promises to help future models learn robust and effective models that can generalize to diseases that can even classify diseases new to the model, which can be important in a field with limited data.
