A comprehensive standardized dataset of numerous pomegranate fruit diseases for deep learning
Abstract
Pomegranate fruit disease detection and classification based on computer vision remains challenging because of various diseases, building the task of collecting or creating datasets is extremely difficult. The usage of machine learning and deep learning in farming has increased significantly in recent years. For developing precise and consistent machine learning models and reducing misclassification in real-time situations, efficient and clean datasets are a key obligation. The current pomegranate fruit diseases classification standardized and publicly accessible datasets for agriculture are not adequate to train the models efficiently. To address this issue, our primary goal of the current study is to create an image dataset of pomegranate fruits of numerous diseases that is ready to use and publicly available. We have composed 5 types of pomegranate fruit healthy and diseases from different places like Ballari, Bengaluru, Bagalakote, Etc. These images were taken from July to October 2023. The dataset contains 5099 pomegranate fruit images which are labeled and classified into 5 types: Healthy, Bacterial blight, Anthracnose, Cercospora fruit spot, and Alternaria fruit spot. The dataset comprises 5 folders entitled with corresponding diseases. This dataset might be useful for locating pomegranate diseases in other nations as well as increasing the production of pomegranate yield. This dataset is extremely useful for researchers of machine learning or deep learning in the field of agriculture for emerging computer vision applications.
