Abstract Crop phenotyping plays a critical role in precision agriculture by enabling the accurate assessment of plant traits, supporting improved crop management, breeding programs, and yield optimization. However, cowpea leaves present unique challenges for automated phenotyping due to their diverse shapes, complex vein structures, and variations caused by environmental conditions. This research presents a deep learning-based approach for the classification of cowpea leaf images to support crop phenotyping tasks. Given the limited availability of annotated datasets, data augmentation techniques were employed to artificially expand the original small dataset while preserving essential leaf characteristics.
