- Abstract
- Agriculture is essential for the economy and plant disease must be minimized. Early recognition of problems is important, but the manual inspection is slow, error-prone, and has high manpower and time requirements. Artificial intelligence can be used to extract fruit color, shape, or texture data, thus aiding the detection of infections. Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) techniques show a massive success for image classification tasks. CNN extracts more detailed features and can work efficiently with large datasets. In this work, we used a combined deep neural network and contour feature-based approach to classify fruits and their diseases. A fine-tuned, pretrained deep learning model (VGG19) was retrained using a plant dataset, from which useful features were extracted. Next, contour features were extracted using pyramid histogram of oriented gradient (PHOG) and combined with the deep features using serial based approach. During the fusion process, a few pieces of redundant information were added in the form of features. Then, a "relevance-based" optimization technique was used to select the best features from the fused vector for the final classifications. With the use of multiple classifiers, an accuracy of up to 99.6% was achieved on the proposed method, which is superior to previous techniques. Moreover, our approach is useful for 5G technology, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
