    Leveraging Segmentation for Potato Plant Disease Severity Estimation and Classification via CBAM-EfficientNetB0 Transfer Learning

    Amit Prakash Singh, Kajal Kaul, Anuradha Chug, Ravinder Kumar, Veerubommu Shanmugam
    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.7, pp. 451-468, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jai.2025.070773
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advances in Artificial Intelligence for Engineering and Sciences)
    Abstract In agricultural farms in India where the staple diet for most of the households is potato, plant leaf diseases, namely Potato Early Blight (PEB) and Potato Late Blight (PLB), are quite common. The class label Plant Healthy (PH) is also used. If these diseases are not identified early, they can cause massive crop loss and thereby incur huge economic losses to the farmers in the agricultural domain and can impact the gross domestic product of the nation. This paper presents a hybrid approach for potato plant disease severity estimation and classification of diseased and healthy… More >

    A Lightweight and Optimized YOLO-Lite Model for Camellia oleifera Leaf Disease Recognition

    Qiang Peng, Jia-Yu Yang, Xu-Yu Xiang
    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.7, pp. 437-450, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jai.2025.072332
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advances in Artificial Intelligence for Engineering and Sciences)
    Abstract Camellia oleifera is one of the four largest oil tree species in the world, and also an important economic crop in China, which has overwhelming economic benefits. However, Camellia oleifera is invaded by various diseases during its growth process, which leads to yield reduction and profit damage. To address this problem and ensure the healthy growth of Camellia oleifera, the purpose of this study is to apply the lightweight network to the identification and detection of camellia oleifolia leaf disease. The attention mechanism was combined for highlighting the local features and improve the attention of the model to the More >

    A Unified U-Net-Vision Mamba Model with Hierarchical Bottleneck Attention for Detection of Tomato Leaf Diseases

    Geoffry Mutiso, John Ndia
    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.7, pp. 275-288, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jai.2025.069768

    Abstract Tomato leaf diseases significantly reduce crop yield; therefore, early and accurate disease detection is required. Traditional detection methods are laborious and error-prone, particularly in large-scale farms, whereas existing hybrid deep learning models often face computational inefficiencies and poor generalization over diverse environmental and disease conditions. This study presents a unified U-Net-Vision Mamba Model with Hierarchical Bottleneck Attention Mechanism (U-net-Vim-HBAM), which integrates U-Net’s high-resolution segmentation, Vision Mamba’s efficient contextual processing, and a Hierarchical Bottleneck Attention Mechanism to address the challenges of disease detection accuracy, computational complexity, and efficiency in existing models. The model was trained on More >
