With the rapid population growth, increasing agricultural productivity is an extreme requirement to meet demands. Early identification of crop diseases is essential to prevent yield loss. Nevertheless, it is a tedious task to manually monitor leaf diseases, as it demands in-depth knowledge of plant pathogens as well as a lot of work, and excessive processing time. For these purposes, various methods based on image processing, deep learning, and machine learning are developed and examined by researchers for crop leaf disease identification and often have obtained significant results. Motivated by this existing work, we conducted an extensive comparative study between traditional machine learning (SVM, LDA, KNN, CART, RF, and NB) and deep transfer learning (VGG16, VGG19, InceptionV3, ResNet50, and CNN) models in terms of precision, accuracy, f1-score, and recall on a dataset taken from the PlantVillage Dataset composed of diseased and healthy crop leaves for binary classification. Moreover, we applied several activation functions and deep learning optimizers to further enhance these CNN architectures’ performance. The classification accuracy (CA) of leaf diseases that we obtained by experimentation is quite impressive for all models. Our findings reveal that NB gives the least CA at 60.09%, while the InceptionV3 model yields the best CA, reaching an accuracy of 98.01%. |
