Not So Labeled Approach: FixMatch Outperforms Supervised Learning in Mango Leaf Disease Detection with XAI Insights
摘要
Mango foliage decay conditions hamper agronomical outputs consistently, resulting in substantial harvest losses and financial losses. Conventional leaf illness detection techniques are typically imprecise and involve a great deal of physical effort. We present a real-time solution using multiple deep learning approaches, incorporating both supervised and semi-supervised models to effectively detect mango leaf diseases and address these challenges. Remarkably, the best pre-trained model, DenseNet201, integrated with the semi-supervised FixMatch algorithm, achieved an impressive 99.93% accuracy using only 30% labeled data. With 500 photos per class, the dataset is divided into eight classes that correspond to different states of mango leaf. By merging pre-trained models with semi-supervised learning approaches, this innovative methodology effectively addresses the problem of real-time disease detection in agriculture in a scalable manner. Transparency is further improved via Explainable AI including interactive application, which offers insights into model decision-making mechanisms.
