Deep migration learning-based recognition of diseases and insect pests in Yunnan tea under complex environments

Tomato leaf diseases significantly impact the yield and quality of tomatoes during cultivation, the main of which are septoria leaf spot, leaf curl virus, verticillium wilt, and early blight. These diseases necessitate prompt detection and management strategies to mitigate their deleterious effects on crop productivity. Due to the considerable scale variations in diseased tomato leaves, accurate and rapid detection and diagnosis remain challenging. To address the detection of tomato leaf diseases at different scales, we propose a real-time detection model incorporating a Multi-kernel Inception Aggregation Diffusion Network. In this paper, (1) We present a Multi-kernel Inception Aggregation Diffusion Network (MIADN) for the feature processing stage, which facilitates the aggregation and diffusion of multi-scale features across hierarchical levels, benefiting the detection of targets at various scales. (2) We present the Multi-kernel Inception Module (MKIM), designed to extract multi-scale object features using diverse convolution kernels, thereby enhancing the model’s feature fusion and representation capabilities. (3) We incorporate the efficient FasterNet network at the feature extraction stage to preserve feature diversity and improve the model’s ability to extract complex target features. (4) Extensive comparative and ablation experiments demonstrate that our method achieves the mean average precision (mAP50) of 96.6%, surpassing the baseline model by 4.1% and the advanced YOLOv9s model by 2.0%. This method provides an effective solution for high-quality tomato cultivation.

To facilitate the realization of automated tea picking and enhance the speed and accuracy of tea leaf grading detection, this study proposes an improved YOLOv8 network for fresh tea leaf grading recognition. This approach integrates a Hierarchical Vision Transformer using Shifted Windows to replace segments of the original YOLOv8’s network architecture, thereby alleviating the computational load of dense image processing tasks and reducing computational expenses. The incorporation of an Efficient Multi-Scale Attention Module with Cross-Spatial Learning serves to attenuate the influence of irrelevant features in complex backgrounds, which in turn, elevates the model’s detection Precision. Additionally, the substitution of the loss function with SIoU facilitates a more rapid model convergence and a more precise pinpointing of defect locations. The empirical findings indicate that the enhanced YOLOv8 algorithm has achieved a marked improvement in metrics such as Precision, Recall, F1, and mAP, with increases of 3.39%, 0.86%, 2.20%, and 2.81% respectively, when juxtaposed with the original YOLOv8 model. Moreover, in external validations, the FPS enhancements over the original YOLOv8, YOLOv5, YOLOX, Faster RCNN, and SSD deep-learning models are 6.75 Hz, 10.84 Hz, 12.79 Hz, 28.24 Hz, and 21.57 Hz, respectively, and the mAP improvements in practical detection are 2.79%, 2.92%, 3.08%, 7.07%, and 3.84% respectively. The refined model not only ensures efficient and accurate tea-grading recognition but also boasts high recognition rates and swift detection capabilities, thereby establishing a foundation for the development of tea-picking robots and tea quality grading devices.
