Hybrid segmentation-based agricultural leaf disease detection (Hy-SALDD) using black widow optimization for feature selection, and Bayesian-optimized SVM classification
摘要
Plant diseases pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity, often leading to severe crop losses. Early, precise detection and classification using computerized image processing can help mitigate damage, reducing losses and boosting yields. This paper presents Hy-SALDD (Hybrid Segmentation-based Agricultural Leaf Disease Detection), an innovative approach for identifying plant leaf diseases. The method integrates enhanced segmentation, feature extraction, and classification techniques. A hybrid segmentation model combining improved PSP-Net and enhanced HED efficiently isolates diseased regions in leaf images. Feature extraction incorporates deep features from the segmentation model and texture features using LBP. Feature selection is optimized through the Black Widow Optimization (BWO) technique, ensuring a compact and discriminative feature set. Classification is performed using a Bayesian-optimized SVM, improving detection accuracy. The proposed framework demonstrates significant potential for precise and efficient plant disease diagnosis.
