Abstract

Oranges, mandarins, bitter oranges, and lemons are examples of citrus fruits that make delicious meals and are highly nutritious. Citrus fruits suffer from a variety of infections that affect their yield. The Department of Agriculture wants to increase the production of oranges and lemons. On the other hand, several plant diseases and their advanced stages have impacted production. The quality of fruit influences market value and its financial effect. Therefore, accurate detection of ailments and their severity is crucial for improving the output and market value of oranges and lemons. To automatically evaluate and predict diseases in citrus leaves and fruits, this paper has proposed a modified convolutional neural network (ICNN) model. Python is used to create the ICNN model, and testing is performed using benchmark datasets from various repositories. The research presented here shows that ICNN performs better than traditional deep learning and machine learning models, such as the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN). This illustrates how machine learning models require supplementary approaches to extract parameters from data that arrives in non-automated ways. Additionally, to improve the accuracy of their classification or prediction, deep learning models require pre-trained models. As a result, ICNN, an enhanced deep learning model that can automatically predict disease with higher accuracy than other models, represents an advancement over standard CNNs. Compared with KNN and CNN, ICNN achieves 99.69% accuracy.
