ES-DeepNet, Ensembling, Disease Diagnosis, Severity Assessment, Thresholding, Random Forest Regressor.Abstract
Biotic stresses significantly impact paddy cultivation, necessitating accurate and timely disease diagnosis. Manual supervision might not capture the early symptoms of the biotic stress associated with certain diseases. Hence, it requires the best disease management strategies that help to perform good practices under paddy crop cultivation. The proposed work presents a novel approach integrating ensemble convolutional neural networks (ES-DeepNet) predictions and disease severity features for enhanced paddy disease classification and severity prediction for the paddy doctor dataset. ES-DeepNet, comprised of VGG16, Xception, MobileNet, and baseline models, effectively extracts robust features thus improving classification accuracy. Disease severity is assessed quantitatively, and extracted features are integrated into the model with ES-DeepNet model predictions using a random forest regressor. The method demonstrated its effectiveness in both disease classification and severity estimation. This study combines deep learning and machine learning techniques, that contribute to precision agriculture by providing a comprehensive solution for paddy disease management.
