Development of Tomato Leaf Disease Detection using Single Shot Detector (SSD) Mobilenet V2

Purpose – To create a software prototype for the tomato leaf disease detection model to identify the tomato leaf condition and detect and identify the disease present in it. Methodology – Using the TensorFlow 2 Object Detection API, the object detection model used is the Single Shot Detector (SSD) MobileNetV2 Object Detection model. The feature extractor used is the pre-trained TF2 MobileNetV2 model with the ImageNet dataset providing trained weights that allows feature extraction. Combining the pre-trained TF2 MobileNetV2 and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for SSD, the result object localization and image classification with SSD, and feature extractor pre-trained model. Result – When training the model, at the 1300th step out of 6000 steps, the learning rate spiked from 0 to 0.7999. It then stabilized from 0.7999 and gradually decreased to 0.7796. After training, the total loss of the model is 46.95% for evaluation and 45.32% for training results. The average recall of the model is
