High-Performance Grape Disease Detection Method Using Multimodal Data and Parallel Activation Functions

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel deep learning model for grape disease detection that integrates multimodal data and parallel heterogeneous activation functions, significantly enhancing detection accuracy and robustness. Through experiments, the model demonstrated excellent performance in grape disease detection, achieving an accuracy of 91%, a precision of 93%, a recall of 90%, a mean average precision (mAP) of 91%, and 56 frames per second (FPS), outperforming traditional deep learning models such as YOLOv3, YOLOv5, DEtection TRansformer (DETR), TinySegformer, and Tranvolution-GAN. To meet the demands of rapid on-site detection, this study also developed a lightweight model for mobile devices, successfully deployed on the iPhone 15. Techniques such as structural pruning, quantization, and depthwise separable convolution were used to significantly reduce the model’s computational complexity and resource consumption, ensuring efficient operation and real-time performance. These achievements not only advance the development of smart agricultural technologies but also provide new technical solutions and practical tools for disease detection.
