RoseNet: Rose leave dataset for the development of an automation system to recognize the diseases of rose

Abstract

For the welfare of self-development and the country's economic evolution, people invest their youth and money in different cultivation and sustainable production business sectors. The crops or fruits get all the attention for this purpose, but currently, the commercial cultivation of flowers is becoming a numerous beneficial investment. As a consequence, the rose(Genus Rosa) is one of the most beautiful and commercially demanding flowers among different flowers. However, insecticide resistance is considered one of the lion's share issues facing agricultural production of roses by decreasing plants' growth and the quality as well as the quantity of healthy-looking flowers. Apart from this, due to different natural and environmental issues, rose's quality and production level are losing their fame. Additionally, the cultivators of this sector are not educated enough to identify the initial affection of different diseases of leaves with beard eyes. Besides, the lack of communication skills to consult with an agriculturist timely turns the situation worst more than the estimation of the production. With this concern, early detection of diseases that affected different parts of roses, such as leaves, is crucial. Recently, image processing techniques and machine learning classifiers have been primarily applied to recognize multiple diseases. This article presents an extensive dataset of rose leaves images, both diseases affected and diseases free are classified into three classes (Blackspot, Downy Mildew, and Fresh Leaf). The dataset is composed of the collected images which were captured during the seasonal time of diseases affection with the consultation of a domain expert and the dataset is accessible at https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/7z67nyc57w/2.
