I get the impression that you tried to train a single classifier to diagnose disease in any species in the PlantVillage database.
You might get better results by training a separate classifier for each plant species (or starting with just one species, such as tomato, for which PlantVillage has 10 disease categories). A farmer knows what crop they're growing, so can select the correct classifier when they submit a photo.
- dharma1 9y agoGreat suggestion, that's the approach I've been looking at most recently (manual selection of crop first, then classifier for only that crop's diseases) and it does give better results. Still, many plant diseases can look quite similar - more training data once we get it (and more variety in the photos) should help accuracy
