Abstract:

Wheat (Triticum spp.) stands as one of the most critical staple crops in the global agricultural landscape. Wheat cultivation is consistently threatened by various biotic and abiotic factors. Among these, rust diseases, caused by the fungal pathogen, poses a significant threat to wheat yields globally. In recent years, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), particularly through the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have begun to revolutionize the detection and management of disease in crop plants. Recent progress in in-depth remote sensing and learning technologies have considerably improved the capacity of convolutional neural networks (RCNN) based on the region in the detection and control of wheat rust, a critical threat to global food security. Machine learning based detection techniques, emphasizing the importance of integrating advanced methodologies such as RCNN have shown promise to improve precision in the identification of wheat rust diseases. Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of hybrid models that combine the extraction of regions with automatic learning algorithms to classify rust diseases, resulting in better diagnostic precision. In addition, the merger of multiple techniques has shown an improvement in the performance of the classification of diseases. This convergence of technologies, including the analysis of ground imaging contributes to the development of more robust agricultural practices, ultimately supporting sustainable agriculture initiatives and furthering wheat improvement.


Keywords: Wheat, Rust detection, Machine learning, Precision framing, RCNN model
