| contents | Agriculture is a key sector of the economies of developing countries. It serves as a primary source of income and employment for rural populations. However, each year, a large portion of crops is wasted because of pests and diseases. Well-timed prediction of plant diseases is crucial to sustainable, high-quality agricultural production. Detection of plant diseases through conventional methods is both labour-intensive and time-consuming. Researchers have developed image classification based automated techniques for this purpose. Most accurate methods are based on deep convolutional neural networks, which are computationally intensive, with many layers and millions of trainable parameters. In resource-constrained settings, especially in rural areas, it is difficult to deploy deep convolutional neural network models for efficient plant disease identification. To address these issues, an efficient and light-weight Multi-View Convolutional Neural Network is proposed. These additional features aid the proposed model to identify the plant diseases accurately and efficiently with less number of parameters. The proposed model is tested on a benchmark Plantvillage dataset and achieves an improvement of $ 2.9\%$ in classification accuracy compared to the baseline convolutional neural network model, which was trained only on Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) plant images. Compared with state-of-the-art deep convolutional neural network models, the proposed model is less computationally expensive and achieves comparable accuracy for plant disease identification on the PlantVillage dataset. |
