An iterative noisy annotation correction model for robust plant disease detection.

ABSTRACT: Previous work on plant disease detection demonstrated that object detectors generally suffer from degraded training data, and annotations with noise may cause the training task to fail. Well-annotated datasets are therefore crucial to build a robust detector. However, a good label set generally requires much expert knowledge and meticulous work, which is expensive and time-consuming. This paper aims to learn robust feature representations with inaccurate bounding boxes, thereby reducing the model requirements for annotation quality. Specifically, we analyze the distribution of noisy annotations in the real world. A teacher-student learning paradigm is proposed to correct inaccurate bounding boxes. The teacher model is used to rectify the degraded bounding boxes, and the student model extra
