Abstract

Diseases and pests in plants/crops are major causes of significant agricultural losses with economic, social and ecological impacts. Therefore, there is a need for early identification of plant diseases and pests through automated systems. Recently, machine learning-based methods have become popular in solving agricultural problems such as plant diseases faced by technically-noob farmers. This work proposes a novel method based on stacking ensemble machine learning to detect plant diseases in Uradbean precisely. Two classifiers: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) are trained on a dataset consists of Uradbean infected and healthy leaf images. These classifiers are stacked with logistic regression (LR) classifier. In the diverse ensemble, LR classifier is used as a meta-learner which enhanced the precision of the disease classification. The fuzzy C-Means clustering with particle swarm optimization is used for image segmentation. Haralick, Hu Moments and color histogram methods are used in feature extraction. During the tests, the proposed model is also compared with pre-trained networks: DenseNet-201, ResNet-50, and VGG19. It achieved an impressive classification accuracy of 96.82 % which is higher than the individual classifiers and pre-trained networks. To validate model performance, it is evaluated on a benchmark public dataset consists of Apple leaf images and achieved 98.30% accuracy. It is observed that ensemble method reflects an advantage over individual models in increasing the classification rates and reducing the computational overhead in comparison to pre-trained networks which struggle due to the issues such as irrelevant features, generation of pertinent characteristics, and noise
