Prediction of Cotton Leaf Disease Using the ResNet Model
摘要
The progress of any country depends on its agricultural sector. In this context, “cash crops” refer to cotton and other significant crops. The vast majority of crop-damaging pathogens also impact cotton. The economic impact of cotton leaf diseases is substantial. To mitigate their impact, timely identification and intervention are critical. The current investigation introduces a deep-learning approach to forecast cotton leaf diseases by the pre-trained ResNet-50 convolutional neural network framework. In ResNet, layer training can now proceed significantly faster. Layer training can now proceed at a significantly faster pace. The proposed model incorporates ResNet-50 for bypass connections. The dataset contains images encompassing healthy and unhealthy cotton leaves. We test the suggested model using Kaggle’s Cotton Leaf and Disease datasets. The proposed approach outperforms the alternatives with an accuracy rate of 98.6%.
