Development of a Rice Plant Disease Classification Model in Big Data Environment.

Abstract

More than the half of the global population consume rice as their primary energy source. Therefore, this work focused on the development of a prediction model to minimize agricultural loss in the paddy field. Initially, rice plant diseases, along with their images, were captured. Then, a big data framework was used to encounter a large dataset. In this work, at first, feature extraction process is applied on the data and after that feature selection is also applied to obtain the reduced data with important features which is used as the input to the classification model. For the rice disease datasets, features based on color, shape, position, and texture are extracted from the infected rice plant images and a rough set theory-based feature selection method is used for the feature selection job. For the classification task, ensemble classification methods have been implemented in a map reduce framework for the development of the efficient disease prediction model. The results on the collected disease data show the efficiency of the proposed model.

Plant phenotyping relevance

感染イネ画像から色・形状・位置・テクスチャ特徴を抽出し、病害分類モデルを開発しており、植物の病害状態を観測画像から推定する方法が中心である。

Code and data availability

The paper's rice disease classification experiments rely on a public Kaggle rice leaf disease image dataset, cited as the data source (reference 30). No author code, trained models, or paper-specific data deposits are stated; the Data Availability Statement only says data are included in the article.
