摘要

Accurate plant disease detection is crucial for sustainable agriculture to reduce economic losses and optimize resources. Addressing challenges like insufficient valid samples, weak disease feature extraction, and accuracy-speed trade-off, we propose a novel MFVNet based on YOLOv9-T for accurate plant disease detection in the Intelligent Internet of Things. To enhance the quality of invalid disease samples, a Stable Diffusion-based data augmentation method is presented. In MFVNet’s backbone, a multi-scale edge information enhancer (MEIE) is designed to improve the capacity to capture edge information and multi-scale features, enabling an accurate distinction between disease regions from background noise. Then, a Re-FCA module is developed that integrates adaptive fine-grained channel attention into a reparameterized network with Cross-Stage Partial and Efficient Layer Aggregation Networks, effectively merging global and local information and refining disease feature extraction. Finally, a lightweight VanillaBlock-based pyramid network (VBPN) is introduced in the neck for feature aggregation. Its efficient computation and nonlinear enhancement drastically reduce computational overhead while enhancing detection accuracy. Experiments show that YOLOv9-T trained with the enhanced Stable-PlantDoc dataset achieved a 13.9% higher mAP50 than the original PlantDoc dataset trained one. On the Stable-PlantDoc dataset, MFVNet reduces FLOPs by 54.2%, increases mAP50 by 4.2%, and mAP50-95 by 3.7% compared to YOLOv9-T. Furthermore, MFVNet outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the Stable-PlantDoc and AI Challenger 2018 datasets. For example, MFVNet achieves 81.6% mAP50 on the Stable-PlantDoc dataset, outperforming YOLOv10n by 5.7%, with 2.73 M parameters and 132 FPS. These results demonstrate that MFVNet achieves better accuracy-speed trade-off for plant disease detection.
