Abstract

This study delves into the application of deep learning for precise tomato disease detection, focusing on four crucial categories: healthy, blossom end rot, splitting rotation, and sun-scaled rotation. The performance of two lightweight object detection models, namely YOLOv5l and YOLOv8l, was compared on a custom tomato disease dataset. Initially, both models were trained without data augmentation to establish a baseline. Subsequently, diverse data augmentation techniques were obtained from Roboflow to significantly expand and enrich the dataset content. These techniques aimed to enhance the models' robustness to variations in lighting, pose, and background conditions. Following data augmentation, the YOLOv5l and YOLOv8l models were re-trained and their performance across all disease categories was meticulously analyzed. After data augmentation, a significant improvement in accuracy was observed for both models, highlighting its effectiveness in bolstering the models' ability to accurately detect tomato diseases. YOLOv8l consistently achieved slightly higher accuracy compared to YOLOv5l, particularly when excluding background images from the evaluation.
