Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a novel methodology for plant disease detection using YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once version 8), a state-of-the-art object detection model designed for real-time image classification and recognition tasks. The proposed approach involves training a custom YOLOv8 model to detect and classify various plant conditions accurately. The model was evaluated using a testing subset to measure its performance in detecting different plant diseases. To ensure the model’s robustness and generalizability beyond the training dataset, it was further tested on a set of unseen images sourced from Google Images. This additional testing aimed to assess the model’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios, where it might encounter new data. The evaluation results were auspicious, demonstrating the model’s capability to classify plant conditions, such as diseases, with high accuracy. Moreover, the use of YOLOv8 offers significant improvements in speed and precision, making it suitable for real-time plant disease monitoring applications. The findings highlight the potential of this methodology for broader agricultural applications, including early disease detection and prevention.
