Title:Enhancing Deep Learning Model Performance through Data Generation Strategies: Classification of Olive Tree Diseases

View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Deep learning models are highly effective in a wide range of domains, particu larly in plant disease diagnosis. However, their performance is often limited by challenges such as insufficient data and class imbalance. In our work, we propose a comprehensive data generation strategy to overcome these limitations. First, we apply various data generation techniques, including traditional augmentation methods, CutMix, MixUp, and synthetic image generation using Deep Convolu tional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs), to create new data samples. Second, we exploit this generated data in three scenarios: (S1) balancing class distribution in the original dataset, (S2) increasing the number of samples per class, and (S3) expanding the dataset while maintaining balanced classes. Third, we evaluate the impact of these data distributions (S1, S2, S3) on model perfor mance using the EfficientNetV2B0 architecture with pre-trained and fine-tuned weights. The experimental results show a substantial improvement in classifica tion accuracy, emphasizing the critical role of data diversity and class balance. These findings highlight the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed strat egy of data generation and distribution for enhancing dataset quality, offering promising applications in plant disease detection and precision agriculture.
