Automated Rice Disease Detection using CNN and Vision Transformer-based Frameworks

Abstract Rice serves as the primary staple food for more than 160 million individuals in Bangladesh, contributing significantly to the nation's economy and food security. Nevertheless, rice farming is significantly challenged by a range of diseases, including bacterial leaf blight, brown spot, and leaf blast, which can result in considerable reductions in yield. Conventional methods for detecting diseases tend to require a lot of labor, consume considerable time, and depend heavily on the expertise of specialists, which limits their practicality for use by farmers in Bangladesh. This study explores the application of advanced deep learning architectures - ConvNeXt-Small, EfficientNet-B3, MobileNetV2, ResNet-50 and DeiT-Tiny for the identification of diseases affecting rice leaves using a dataset comprising approximately 12,700 images. By utilizing transfer learning methods, we seek to evaluate and contrast the effectiveness of these models in correctly detecting and categorizing rice leaf diseases. The findings of this study have the potential to advance effective and scalable methods for automating disease identification in rice farming, particularly in the context of developing countries' agricultural landscape.
