Apple Leaf Disease Recognition Model Based on Improved EfficientNetV2
Spotted leaf blight,brown spot,gray spot,Mosaic and rust are five common diseases on apple leaves,which have serious impacts on apple yield.Aiming at the problems of low recognition accuracy of leaf disease in practical production and large parameter size leading to hard to be migrated to mobile devices,this study proposed the lightweight EGV2-CA network based on the improving EfficientNetV2-b0 model.With the EfficientNetV2-b0 backbone network being reserved,the model first introduced the core Ghost Module of GhostNetV2 network and used the original branch to replace the first layer convolution structure,which could further optimize the computational efficiency of the network and reduce redundant calculations,thereby im-proved speed and portability of the model while maintaining high recognition accuracy.Then,the SE attention mechanism in the Fused-MBConv module of EfficientNetV2-b0 model was replaced with the more efficient CA attention mechanism,which was better to capture and express the fine-grained features through coding spatial information into coordinate information.The experimental results showed that compared with the original net-work,the precision rate of EGV2-CA network was increased by 2.94 percentage points,the recall rate was in-creased by 2.53 percentage points,the F1-score was increased by 2.67 percentage points,and the Top-1 accu-racy rate was increased by 2.47 percentage points,while the parameter size was only 48.9 M,so the model could be migrated to mobile devices.It provided an effective solution for apple leaf disease recognition under real scenarios.
