Multi-Scale Feature Fusion model combining U-Net segmentation, EfficientNet and attention autoencoder features fused via CCA and YOLO classification achieved 99.95% accuracy on apple leaf disease datasets, enabling early detection for sustainable agriculture.
Researchers described a Multi-Scale Feature Fusion system for apple leaf disease identification that segments diseased tissue with U-Net, cleans background with Rank Order Fuzzy filtering, extracts features with EfficientNet and an Attention-based Autoencoder, fuses them with Canonical Correlation Analysis, and classifies with YOLO. Tested on five apple leaf datasets, it reported 99.95% classification accuracy with cross-validation and statistical testing.
