Deep Learning-Based Identification of Maize Leaf Diseases Is Improved by an Attention Mechanism: Self-Attention

Abstract: Maize leaf diseases significantly reduce maize yield; therefore, monitoring and identifying the diseases during the growing season are crucial. Some of the current studies are based on images with simple backgrounds, and the realistic field settings are full of background noise, making this task challenging. We collected low-cost red, green, and blue (RGB) images from our experimental fields and public dataset, and they contain a total of four categories, namely, southern corn leaf blight (SCLB), gray leaf spo… Show more

“…The successful performance of transformer in NLP tasks has resulted in its integration and use in the field of computer vision . For instance, the work conducted by Qian et al (2022) introduced a novel strategy for classifying maize leaf diseases using a vision transformer-based method. The authors of the study also gathered RGB images from publicly available databases and experimental fields, classifying them into four distinct categories: southern corn leaf blight, gray leaf spot, southern corn rust, and healthy specimens.…”

“…The other image enhancement method using image resizing, ltering, color space conversion, and histogram equalization was discussed by Ngugi et al [31]. Moreover, resizing [32] and data augmentation [33] approaches were also opted for image enhancement for maize leaves as well as for multiple crops. The other leaf disease detection system that detects diseases in sorghum leaf utilized basic image processing methods including, Edge detection, thresholding, and noise reduction [34].…”
