The invention relates to a pepper
leaf disease detection method based on improved AlexNet, and the method comprises the steps: building a
disease data set, carrying out the data enhancement of the
disease data set, carrying out the
disease type classification of the image data of the disease
data set, marking a corresponding
label, building a model data set, and carrying out the detection of a pepper
leaf disease. Dividing image data of the model data set into a
training set, a
verification set and a
test set in proportion; secondly, constructing a
convolutional neural network model, performing
feature extraction on an AlexNet model in the
convolutional neural network model, setting a multi-scale
convolution kernel for a first convolutional layer, removing a full connection layer, replacing the full connection layer with a global average
pooling layer, adding a BN layer into each convolutional layer, then setting hyper-parameters, and obtaining a multi-scale
convolution kernel; and training the AlexNet model by using the
training set. According to the improved AlexNet-based pepper
leaf disease detection method provided by the invention, the model can be reduced, the identification precision can be improved, and the detection speed can be improved.
