Abstract

As an indispensable task in crop protection, the detection of crop diseases directly impacts the income of farmers. To address the problems of low crop-disease identification precision and detection abilities, a new method of detection is proposed based on improved genetic algorithm and extreme learning machine. Taking five different typical diseases with common crops as the objects, this method first preprocesses the images of crops and selects the optimal features for fusion. Then, it builds a model of crop disease identification for extreme learning machine, introduces the hill-climbing algorithm to improve the traditional genetic algorithm, optimizes the initial weights and thresholds of the machine, and acquires the approximately optimal solution. And finally, a data set of crop diseases is used for verification, demonstrating that, compared with several other common machine learning methods, this method can effectively improve the crop-disease identification precision and detection abilities and provide a basis for the identification of other crop diseases.
