A new method for Tomicus classification of forest pests based on improved ResNet50 algorithm.

ABSTRACT: Tomicus is a globally significant forestry pest, with Yunnan Province in southwestern China experiencing particularly severe infestations. The morphological differences among Tomicus species are minimal, making accurate identification challenging. While traditional molecular identification and morphological recognition methods are reliable, they require specialized personnel and equipment and are time-consuming. For individuals with limited expertise, accurate identification becomes particularly difficult. This highlights the challenge of developing a rapid, efficient, and accurate classification model for Tomicus. This study investigates four major Tomicus species in Yunnan Province: Tomicus yunnanensis, Tomicus minor, Tomicus brevipilosus, and Tomicus armandii. We collected samples from
