Abstract

Plant leaf disease identification is essential to ensure that plant leaf diseases can be identified early, kept from spreading too far, and as a result it is essential to ensure less crop and therefore food waste during production. To train deep learning models capable of assisting workers in the process, datasets that are diverse, large, and high quality are needed but creating them is laborious. Fields, staff, equipment, hardware and experts are needed and make the creation even more difficult and not everyone has access to the means to create them. However, a true benchmark dataset in hybrid conditions would greatly help the field, so in this paper we introduce a methodology to combine, augment, balance, etc. open datasets to create a new dataset with over 300,000 images across 80 classes called PLDC-80. The dataset methods are available at: https://github.com/JDatPNW/PLDC-80
