In-field disease symptom detection and localisation using explainable deep learning: Use case for downy mildew in grapevine

Diseases and pests in agriculture significantly impact crop yield and quality. Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) is a particular noteworthy example in grapevines. Traditional detection methods are laborious, subjective and time-consuming. Consequently, a technological solution based on artificial i...

Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) is a particular noteworthy example in grapevines. Traditional detection methods are laborious, subjective and time-consuming. Consequently, a technological solution based on artificial intelligence, would provide higher levels of reproducibility and sampling. The aim of this work was to develop an interpretable, automated method for detection and localisation of plant disease symptoms under field conditions. Images of the grapevine canopy were taken in 14 commercial vineyard plots under a range of lightning conditions, including both static and on-the-go settings. The images were processed using a sliding window, classifying sub-images into areas with and without downy mildew. Transfer learning, fine-tuning and data augmentation were employed to automate the classification, comparing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and vision transformers (ViT). Subsequently, the trained model was integrated into the sliding window to localise regions within the canopy images exhibiting symptoms of downy mildew. Model predictions were interpreted using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods. The EfficientNetV2S model achieved an accuracy of 91 % and an F1-score of 0.92 when classifying image areas and an Intersection over Union (IoU) of 0.83 when locating symptomatic areas. This method showed promising results, enabling automatic and explainable detection and localisation of plant diseases in complex conditions. The straightforward labelling process facilitated adaptation to new conditions, making it suitable for different crops and diseases. Integration into mobile platforms could enhance disease management and reduce the spread of pathogens, making a significant advance in agricultural technology.This work has been developed as part of the project NoPest (Novel Pesticides for a Sustainable Agriculture), which received funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 FET Open program under Grant agreement ID 828940.
