Detecting these diseases early can help mitigate their impact and ensure healthy crop yields. Machine learning algorithms have emerged as powerful tools for accurately identifying and classifying a wide range of plant diseases from trained image datasets of affected crops. These algorithms, including deep learning algorithms, have shown remarkable success in recognizing disease patterns and early signs of plant diseases. Besides early detection, there are other potential benefits of machine learning algorithms in overall plant disease management, such as soil and climatic condition predictions for plants, pest identification, proximity detection, and many more. Over the years, research has focused on using machine-learning algorithms for plant disease detection. Nevertheless, little is known about the extent to which the research community has explored machine learning algorithms to cover other significant areas of plant disease management. In view of this, we present a cross-comparative review of machine learning algorithms and applications designed for plant disease detection with a specific focus on four (4) economically important plants: apple, cassava, cotton, and potato. We conducted a systematic review of articles published between 2013 and 2023 to explore trends in the research community over the years. After filtering a number of articles based on our inclusion criteria, including articles that present individual prediction accuracy for classes of disease associated with the selected plants, 113 articles were considered relevant. From these articles, we analyzed the state-of-the-art techniques, challenges, and future prospects of using machine learning for disease identification of the selected plants. Results from our review show that deep learning and other algorithms performed significantly well in detecting plant diseases. In addition, we found a few references to plant disease management covering prevention, diagnosis, control, and monitoring. In view of this, little or no work has explored the prediction of the recovery of affected plants. Hence, we propose opportunities for developing machine learning-based technologies to cover prevention, diagnosis, control, monitoring, and recovery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52814,"journal":{"name":"Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture","volume":"12 ","pages":"Pages 127-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258972172400014X/pdfft?md5=a2288673548d57c63626027a95ff21bf&pid=1-s2.0-S258972172400014X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141054049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ‘large’ version (YOLOv8l) was selected for further hyperparameter tuning based on its performance metrics. This model underwent a detailed hyperparameter optimization using the One Factor At a Time (OFAT) methodology, concentrating on key parameters such as learning rate, batch size, weight decay, epochs, and optimizer. Insights from the OFAT study were used to define search spaces for a subsequent Random Search (RS).

We validated the enhanced model's efficacy on a diverse set of real-world images, reflecting various agricultural settings, to confirm its robustness in detecting smoke and fire.

To simplify the solution and enhance its universality, we propose an innovative crop row annotation strategy. This strategy, by simulating the strip-like structure of the crop row's central area, effectively avoids interference from lateral growth of crop leaves. Based on this, we developed a deep learning network with a dual-branch architecture, InstaCropNet, which achieves end-to-end segmentation of crop row instances. Subsequently, through the row anchor segmentation technique, we accurately locate the positions of different crop row instances and perform line fitting.

Our study aims to ameliorate this gap by extending to several broadleaf weed categories across varied distributions, evaluating the impact of training convolutional neural networks on datasets specific to particular conditions or distributions, and assessing their performance in entirely distinct settings through three experiments.
