Title
Crop Disease Classification on Inadequate Low-Resolution Target Images.
Abstract
Currently, various agricultural image classification tasks are carried out on high-resolution images. However, in some cases, we cannot get enough high-resolution images for classification, which significantly affects classification performance. In this paper, we design a crop disease classification network based on Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative adversarial networks (ESRGAN) when only an insufficient number of low-resolution target images are available. First, ESRGAN is used to recover super-resolution crop images from low-resolution images. Transfer learning is applied in model training to compensate for the lack of training samples. Then, we test the performance of the generated super-resolution images in crop disease classification task. Extensive experiments show that using the fine-tuned ESRGAN model can recover realistic crop information and improve the accuracy of crop disease classification, compared with the other four image super-resolution methods.
