The invention discloses a corn
leaf disease classification method based on improved ResNet18, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a corn leaf image, and carrying out the preprocessing of the image, and obtaining an image
data set; sending the image data into an improved ResNet18 neural
network model for training, and classifying an output result by adopting a
softmax function; and inputting a to-be-identified
disease image into the trained improved ResNet18 neural
network model for identification and classification to obtain corn
leaf disease information in a corresponding category. According to the method, rich and meticulous feature expression is provided for corn
leaf disease expression, the ability of the network to extract tiny scab features is improved, multi-scale features of a complex image space are captured, the model can have more attention to the scab area, the accuracy of corn leaf
disease classification is improved, and the method is suitable for popularization and application. The corn
disease identification accuracy is improved, the network parameters are reduced, and the model volume is reduced.
