arXiv:2606. 14686v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Globally, cotton is a highly economically beneficial crop, as the textile industry heavily depends on it.
A100 is a hybrid CNN‑Transformer vision foundation model trained on 3 million unlabeled agricultural images using self‑supervised techniques (DINO, iBOT, KoLeo). It achieves superior crop classification (95.37 % with a frozen backbone) and phenotyping accuracy, and after fine‑tuning reaches 99.90 % on 32‑class crop identification and 99.02 % on 44‑class disease detection. With only 1 % of labeled data, A100 attains 98.01 % plant classification accuracy, outperforming existing baselines and other agricultural foundation models by significant margins.
CoAtNet-DeepMoE is a lightweight Convolution‑Attention hybrid architecture that incorporates a DeepSeek Mixture‑of‑Experts to reduce parameters while maintaining high accuracy for tomato disease classification. The model achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on Kaggle and PlantVillage datasets, reporting 99.80% accuracy on Kaggle and 99.83% accuracy on PlantVillage, all with only 2.47 million parameters. The source code will be released on GitHub.
arXiv:2606. 14871v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Early detection of plant diseases is crucial to plants and for the farmers.
arXiv:2609.10469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated plant disease diagnosis is increasingly deployed on farmer-held devices in regions where agronomic expertise is scarce and network connectivi...
TinyCNN is a lightweight convolutional neural network with only 193,190 trainable parameters designed for on‑device plant disease classification. It achieves 98.88% test accuracy on the 38‑class PlantVillage benchmark, outperforming larger models while consuming far less energy, memory, and cost. The study also explores knowledge distillation to further compress the model and evaluates cross‑dataset robustness, finding a significant performance drop when moving from PlantVillage to PlantDoc due to background‑driven shortcut learning.
