Title A name given to the resource Advancements in Deep Learning Techniques for Potato Leaf Disease Identification Using SAM-CNNet Classification Subject The topic of the resource convolutional neural network; data normalization; GoogLeNet; potato leaf diseases; Spatial Attention Mechanism Description An account of the resource Potato leaf diseases like Late Blight and Early Blight significantly challenge potato cultivation, impacting crop yield and quality worldwide. Potatoes are a staple for over a billion people and crucial for food security, especially in developing countries. The economic impact is substantial, with Late Blight alone causing annual damages over $6 billion globally. Effective detection and management are essential to mitigate these effects on agricultural productivity and economic stability. This paper presents a novel approach to potato leaf disease detection using advanced deep learning and optimization techniques. Key components include data normalization to eliminate noise, feature extraction using GoogLeNet, and hyperparameter tuning through the Elk Herd Optimizer (EHO). Additionally, a Spatial Attention Mechanism and Convolutional Neural Network (SAM-CNNet) are employed for robust classification. The method is validated using the Plant Village dataset, yielding an accuracy of 98.58%, with precision of 97.68%, recall of 98.42%, and F1-Score of 98.21%, demonstrating exceptional performance and reliability. This study highlights the proposed approach's efficacy in accurately identifying and classifying potato leaf diseases, offering a promising solution for precision agriculture and crop management.
