Apple Leaf Disease

Apple leaf disease detection is crucial for optimizing apple production and ensuring food safety, driving research into automated diagnostic systems. Current efforts leverage deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) like EfficientNet, MobileNet, DenseNet, InceptionResNet, and Xception, often employing transfer learning and ensemble methods to improve classification accuracy of various diseases from images. These models address challenges like image complexity and class imbalance, aiming for high-accuracy identification to enable timely intervention and reduce crop losses. The resulting improved diagnostic tools have significant potential to enhance agricultural practices and minimize economic and health risks associated with apple diseases.
