An Efficient Capsule Based Neural Network for Detection of Grape Plant Leaf Disease and Disease Stages

Abstract

Plant infections destroy and impair the quality of crops, and the pesticides used to treat them pollute the soil, rendering it unfit for planting. Image processing and deep learning technologies may be used to identify disease spots on grape leaves. The detection's precision and efficiency, on the other hand, remain problems. In this paper, the performance of a few well-known CNN models implemented utilizing transfer learning, such as ResNet18, VGG16, and GoogleNet were compared with capsule network. The local entity characteristics are first found by the Capsule layers. For the purpose of collecting aggregate data like "disease type" and "disease stage," the capsule layer makes use of geographic information and the frequency of local-level characteristics. Colored pictures of strong and unhealthy leaves were taken from the public dataset and then used to train the models. The proposed work focused on the novelty concept of identifying the stages of diseases. The Capsule based classification technique can give competitive benefits with an effective classification of accuracy and stages of leaf disease related to other models.
