Tomato, as an essential food crop, is consumed worldwide, and at the same time, it is susceptible to several diseases that lead to a reduction in tomato yield. Proper diagnosis of tomato diseases is required to increase the output of tomato crops. For this purpose, this paper proposes a tomato plant disease detection algorithm based on Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSPNet) and deep learning. First, the training data set is augmented with data to alleviate the data imbalance problem in each category, and then the augmented images are fed into the proposed Mob-PSP network for training. The proposed network utilizes the lightweight MobileNet-V2 model as the feature extraction technique while integrating the PSPNet module to enhance the network’s detection performance. The aim is to effectively extract local and global features from plant disease images, which are being introduced in plant disease detection. This study evaluated the model on the tomato subset of the public data set PlantVillage. The experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm achieves a balance between inference speed and detection accuracy, outperforming other state-of-the-art algorithms. Additionally, compared to the baseline model Inception-V3, the inference speed is improved by 10.73 frames per second, while maintaining an average accuracy of 99.69 % with only 6.5M parameters.
