🔬 Research Methodology

Multi-Task Deep Learning Architecture:

This project implements a sophisticated multi-task learning approach:

1. Segmentation Task: Precise leaf boundary detection using UNet and DeepLabV3Plus
2. Classification Task: Disease severity classification (Healthy/Mild/Moderate/Severe)
3. Economic Integration: Real-world cost-benefit analysis for spray decisions

Dataset Integration:

• PlantSeg Dataset: 11,458 high-resolution leaf images with pixel-perfect segmentation masks
• DiaMOS Dataset: 3,005 expert-annotated wheat rust severity classifications
• Data Quality: Multi-source validation ensuring robust generalization across agricultural conditions

NWRD Integration:

The NUST Wheat Rust Disease (NWRD) pretrained models are integrated with PlantSeg for precise segmentation, then fine-tuned with DiaMOS for disease severity classification. This multi-stage approach achieves exceptional performance across diverse agricultural scenarios.
