摘要

Early and accurate detection of plant leaf diseases is vital for crop health. This paper proposes a disease-centric grouping strategy, focusing on shared visual features of diseases among plant species to improve generalization. We propose a novel Disease-Centric Conditional GAN for Synthetic Plant Leaf Image Disease Generation and Classification Enhancement (SLED-GAN) to generate realistic diseased leaf images conditioned on disease groups. The generator uses transposed convolutions to upsample noise and labels, while the discriminator ensures image realism and label consistency. Label smoothing improves training stability. Generated images achieve low FID and SSIM-test scores, indicating high quality and diversity. Among four classifiers, MobileNet performed best with 95.83% accuracy, which improved to 97.14% after SLED-GAN-based augmentation. The results demonstrate that the proposed data enhancement approach using SLED-GAN provides an effective solution to overfitting and significantly improves the disease identification performance.
