Deep Learning-Driven Detection of Guava Diseases for Smart Agriculture
摘要
Guava (Psidium guajava), a key fruit crop, is susceptible to various diseases that threaten its productivity. This study presents a deep learning and computer vision to detect guava diseases in both leaves and fruits. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was initially implemented, followed by data augmentation and transfer learning to enhance classification performance. Several pre-trained models, including EfficientNetB3, InceptionV3, Xception, VGG16, MobileNetV2, ResNet50V2, DenseNet121 and GoogleNet (Inception V1), were trained and evaluated on six disease categories: Anthracnose, Stylar-End-Rot, Scab, Red-Rust, Phytophthora and disease-free samples. To assess model performance accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score were calculated for every model. While multiple models achieved high accuracy (97–98%), GoogleNet (InceptionV1) outperformed others with 99.16% accuracy. The study’s findings demonstrate improvements over previous methods, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
