Abstract Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images, a non-invasive imaging technique, have become a standard retinal disease detection tool. Due to disease, there are morphological and textural changes in the layers of the retina. Classifying OCT images is challenging, as the morphological manifestations of different diseases may be similar. The OCT images capture the reflectivity characteristics of the retinal tissues. Retinal diseases change the reflectivity property of retinal tissues, resulting in texture variations in OCT images. We propose a hybrid approach to OCT image classification in which the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model is trained using… More >

Abstract Plant diseases present a significant threat to global agricultural productivity, endangering both crop yields and quality. Traditional detection methods largely rely on manual inspection, a process that is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming but also subject to subjective biases and dependent on operators’ expertise. Recent advancements in Transformer-based architectures have shown substantial progress in image classification tasks, particularly excelling in global feature extraction. However, despite their strong performance, the high computational complexity and large parameter requirements of Transformer models limit their practical application in plant disease detection. To address these constraints, this study proposes an… More >

Abstract Plant diseases must be identified as soon as possible since they have an impact on the growth of the corresponding species. Consequently, the identification of leaf diseases is essential in this field of agriculture. Diseases brought on by bacteria, viruses, and fungi are a significant factor in reduced crop yields. Numerous machine learning models have been applied in the identification of plant diseases, however, with the recent developments in deep learning, this field of study seems to hold huge potential for improved accuracy. This study presents an effective method that uses image processing and deep… More >

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurological condition that progresses over time. People start to have trouble speaking, writing, walking, or performing other basic skills as dopamine-generating neurons in some brain regions are injured or die. The patient’s symptoms become more severe due to the worsening of their signs over time. In this study, we applied state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to diagnose Parkinson’s disease and identify related risk factors. The research worked on the publicly available dataset on PD, and the dataset consists of a set of significant characteristics of PD. We aim to apply… More >

Abstract Wheat is a critical crop, extensively consumed worldwide, and its production enhancement is essential to meet escalating demand. The presence of diseases like stem rust, leaf rust, yellow rust, and tan spot significantly diminishes wheat yield, making the early and precise identification of these diseases vital for effective disease management. With advancements in deep learning algorithms, researchers have proposed many methods for the automated detection of disease pathogens; however, accurately detecting multiple disease pathogens simultaneously remains a challenge. This challenge arises due to the scarcity of RGB images for multiple diseases, class imbalance in existing… More >

Abstract A consumption of 46.9 million tons of processed tomatoes was reported in 2022 which is merely 20% of the total consumption. An increase of 3.3% in consumption is predicted from 2024 to 2032. Tomatoes are also rich in iron, potassium, antioxidant lycopene, vitamins A, C and K which are important for preventing cancer, and maintaining blood pressure and glucose levels. Thus, tomatoes are globally important due to their widespread usage and nutritional value. To face the high demand for tomatoes, it is mandatory to investigate the causes of crop loss and minimize them. Diseases are… More >

Abstract Olive trees are susceptible to a variety of diseases that can cause significant crop damage and economic losses. Early detection of these diseases is essential for effective management. We propose a novel transformed wavelet, feature-fused, pre-trained deep learning model for detecting olive leaf diseases. The proposed model combines wavelet transforms with pre-trained deep-learning models to extract discriminative features from olive leaf images. The model has four main phases: preprocessing using data augmentation, three-level wavelet transformation, learning using pre-trained deep learning models, and a fused deep learning model. In the preprocessing phase, the image dataset is… More >
