RESUMO
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a principal cereal crop in the world. It is consumed by greater than half of the world's population as a staple food for energy source. The yield production quantity and quality of the rice grain is affecting by abiotic and biotic factors such as precipitation, soil fertility, temperature, pests, bacteria, virus, etc. For disease management, farmers spending lot of time and resources and they detect the diseases through their penniless naked eye approach which leads to unhealthy farming. The advancement of technical support in agriculture greatly assists for automatic identification of infectious organisms in the rice plants leaves. The convolutional neural network algorithm (CNN) is one of the algorithms in deep learning has been triumphantly invoked for solving computer vision problems like image classification, object segmentation, image analysis, etc. In our work, InceptionResNetV2 is a type of CNN model utilized with transfer learning approach for recognizing diseases in rice leaf images. The parameters of the proposed model is optimized for the classification task and obtained a good accuracy of 95.67%.
