Abstract

Food productivity, quantity and quality are at stake when plant diseases such as rice diseases undermine the food security. Rice leaf disease treatment necessitates accurate and timely diagnosing. This study describes a deep learning model for categorizing and forecasting rice plant diseases. Using the remora optimization algorithm (ROA) on a rice leaf dataset demonstrates its potential for plant disease classification. The ROA-DM method detects rice leaf diseases using the ROA algorithm, a deep maxout network (DMN), and a deep autoencoder (DAE). ROA is applied to the learning parameters of deep model in order to achieve better convergence and avoiding local minima, which usually happens with conventional gradient-based optimizers. Experiments show that the suggested framework is accurate and precise across illness categories. The confusion matrices display the training and validation accuracy, losses of this model. The performance of our optimal learning method with respect to other methods indicated its potential for identifying leaf diseases. The accuracy of the ROA-DM method is 98.5%.
