Advancements in Deep Learning for Agricultural and Ecological Applications

The recent developments in the research area of applying deep learning techniques to agricultural and ecological challenges have shown significant progress, particularly in the detection and classification of plant diseases and the identification of medicinal plants. A common theme across the studies is the utilization of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and their variants, which have demonstrated remarkable efficiency and accuracy in handling image-based classification tasks. These advancements are not only enhancing the precision of disease detection in crops like rice, pumpkin, and bell peppers but are also contributing to the conservation efforts of ecosystems through the identification of seashells and medicinal plants. The integration of Explainable AI (XAI) techniques has further improved the transparency and trustworthiness of these automated systems, making them more accessible and reliable for end-users. Additionally, the development of novel datasets and the application of transfer learning techniques are facilitating more accurate and efficient models, even with limited data. The field is also witnessing innovations in CNN architectures, such as the introduction of adaptive orthogonal convolution schemes, which promise to enhance the scalability and flexibility of deep learning models.
