Crop Disease Identification by Fusing Multiscale Convolution and Vision Transformer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the development of smart agriculture, deep learning is playing an increasingly important role in crop disease recognition. The existing crop disease recognition models are mainly based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). Although traditional CNN models have excellent performance in modeling local relationships, it is difficult to extract global features. This study combines the advantages of CNN in extracting local disease information and vision transformer in obtaining global receptive fields to design a hybrid model called MSCVT. The model incorporates the multiscale self-attention module, which combines multiscale convolution and self-attention mechanisms and enables the fusion of local and global features at both the shallow and deep levels of the model. In addition, the model uses the inverted residual block to replace normal convolution to maintain a low number of parameters. To verify the validity and adaptability of MSCVT in the crop disease dataset, experiments were conducted in the PlantVillage dataset and the Apple Leaf Pathology dataset, and obtained results with recognition accuracies of 99.86% and 97.50%, respectively. In comparison with other CNN models, the proposed model achieved advanced performance in both cases. The experimental results show that MSCVT can obtain high recognition accuracy in crop disease recognition and shows excellent adaptability in multidisease recognition and small-scale disease recognition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
