Abstract


Tomato is one of the most valuable and widely consumed vegetable crops in the world. Tomato plants are frequently attacked by various pathogens, leading to reduced yield and fruit quality. Therefore, early detection of leaf disease symptoms in the early stages will help farmers promptly apply preventive measures, limit the spread and minimize agricultural losses. This paper proposes the application of a lightweight deep learning architecture, MobileNet V2, for the classification of tomato leaf diseases. The model is trained using transfer learning, with several configurations of hyperparameters, data splitting strategies, and data balancing techniques. The program is designed to classify ten categories: nine classes corresponding to different tomato leaf diseases and one class representing healthy plants, using images from the PlantVillage dataset. The results show that MobileNet V2 can classify diseases with the best accuracy of 95.73%, opening up the direction of deploying an automatic tomato disease monitoring system on mobile devices with fast inference speed and low computational cost.
