Description
Summary:Pests and diseases significantly impact the quality and yield of maize. As a result, it is crucial to conduct disease diagnosis and identification for timely intervention and treatment of maize pests and diseases, ultimately enhancing the quality and economic efficiency of maize production. In this study, we present an enhanced maize pest identification model based on ResNet50. The objective was to achieve efficient and accurate identification of maize pests and diseases. By utilizing convolution and pooling operations for extracting shallow-edge features and compressing data, we introduced additional effective channels (environment–cognition–action) into the residual network module. This step addressed the issue of network degradation, establishes connections between channels, and facilitated the extraction of crucial deep features. Finally, experimental validation was performed to achieve 96.02% recognition accuracy using the ResNet50 model. This study successfully achieved the recognition of various maize pests and diseases, including maize leaf blight, Helminthosporium maydis, gray leaf spot, rust disease, stem borer, and corn armyworm. These results offer valuable insights for the intelligent control and management of maize pests and diseases.
