Enhancing sugarcane disease classification with ensemble deep learning: A comparative study with transfer learning techniques.

ABSTRACT: Deep learning practices in the agriculture sector can address many challenges faced by the farmers such as disease detection, yield estimation, soil profile estimation, etc. In this paper, disease classification for the sugarcane plant and the experimentation involved thereby is thoroughly discussed. Experimental results include the performances of the well-known existing transfer learning techniques and proposed ensemble deep learning based architecture that incorporates stack ensemble of two networks with one having level-wise spatial attention helping to provide better generalization. A Self-created database of sugarcane leaf diseases is introduced to the research community through this paper. It involves 5 categories with a total of 2569 images. Here, it is observed that best performin
