This study introduces TomatoMTL, a deep learning model for classifying tomato plant diseases and estimating their severity simultaneously. The model achieves high accuracy in both tasks, improving precision agriculture.

Area of Science:

Agricultural Science
Computer Science
Plant Pathology

Background:

Accurate plant disease identification and severity assessment are crucial for crop management and reducing agricultural losses.
Deep learning models excel at disease classification but often neglect severity estimation, hindering informed decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a unified multi-task learning framework (TomatoMTL) for simultaneous tomato leaf disease classification and severity estimation.
To enhance severity estimation accuracy through cross-task attention and feature refinement.

Main Methods:

A ResNet50 backbone with CBAM feature refinement and task-specific branches for classification and severity prediction.
A cross-task attention mechanism to integrate disease and severity features.

Keywords:

Attention mechanisms Computer vision Cross-task interaction Deep learning Disease severity estimation Plant disease detection Precision agriculture Tomato leaf disease multi-task learning
