A Novel Classification Approach for Grape Leaf Disease Detection Based on Different Attention Deep Learning Techniques

Preventing and controlling grape diseases is essential for a good grape harvest. With the help of “single shot multi-box detectors”, “faster region based convolutional neural networks”, & “You only look once-X,” the study improved grape leaf disease detection accuracy with effective attention mechanisms, which includes convolutional block attention module, squeeze & excitation networks, & efficient channel attention. The various attention techniques helped to emphasize important features while reducing the impact of irrelevant ones, which ultimately improved the precision of the models and allowed for real-time performance. As a result of examining the optimal models from the three types, it was found that the Faster (R-CNN) model had a lower precision value, while You only look once-X and SSD with various attention techniques required the fewest parameters with the highest precision, with the best real-time performance. In addition to providing insights into grape diseases & symptoms in automated agricultural production, this study provided valuable insights into grape leaf disease detection.
