Identify Apple Leaf Diseases Using Deep Learning Algorithm

Agriculture is an essential industry in the both society and economy of a country. However, the pests and diseases cause a great amount of reduction in agricultural production while there is not sufficient guidance for farmers to avoid this disaster. To address this problem, we apply CNNs to plant disease recognition by building a classification model. Within the dataset of 3,642 images of apple leaves, We use a pre-trained image classification model Restnet34 based on a Convolutional neural network (CNN) with the Fastai framework in order to save the training time. Overall, the accuracy of classification is 93.765%.
