Potato late blight is a devastating plant disease that significantly impacts agricultural productivity worldwide. This study evaluates the effectiveness of different data augmentation techniques in enhancing the performance of the YOLOv8m model for disease detection. The model was trained and tested using datasets augmented with brightness, contrast, Gaussian blur, and a final one that combined all of them. The results show that while individual augmentations to the original dataset slightly improved the model's performance, contrast manipulation substantially improved the model's precision, recall, and robustness, achieving a maximum mAP50 of 92.4% and a maximum F1 score of 86%. These results suggest that a well-tailored and optimized preprocessing pipeline greatly benefits the model's disease detection capabilities while reducing the computational load in incremental learning. This research sets the pathway for further developing and integrating these technologies to provide customized solutions for agricultural stakeholders.

摘要

Potato late blight is a devastating plant disease that significantly impacts agricultural productivity worldwide. This study evaluates the effectiveness of different data augmentation techniques in enhancing the performance of the YOLOv8m model for disease detection. The model was trained and tested using datasets augmented with brightness, contrast, Gaussian blur, and a final one that combined all of them. The results show that while individual augmentations to the original dataset slightly improved the model's performance, contrast manipulation substantially improved the model's precision, recall, and robustness, achieving a maximum mAP50 of 92.4% and a maximum F1 score of 86%. These results suggest that a well-tailored and optimized preprocessing pipeline greatly benefits the model's disease detection capabilities while reducing the computational load in incremental learning. This research sets the pathway for further developing and integrating these technologies to provide customized solutions for agricultural stakeholders.
