| description | Citrus diseases can lead to surface defects on citrus fruits, adversely affecting their quality. This study aims to accurately identify citrus defects against varying backgrounds by focusing on four types of diseases: citrus black spot, citrus canker, citrus greening, and citrus melanose. We propose an improved YOLOv10-based disease detection method that replaces the traditional convolutional layers in the Backbone network with LDConv to enhance feature extraction capabilities. Additionally, we introduce the GFPN module to strengthen multi-scale information interaction through cross-scale feature fusion, thereby improving detection accuracy for small-target diseases. The incorporation of the DAT mechanism is designed to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in handling complex visual tasks. Furthermore, we integrate the AFPN module to enhance the model’s detection capability for targets of varying scales. Lastly, we employ the Slide Loss function to adaptively adjust sample weights, focusing on hard-to-detect samples such as blurred features and subtle lesions in citrus disease images, effectively alleviating issues related to sample imbalance. The experimental results indicate that the enhanced model YOLOv10-LGDA achieves impressive performance metrics in citrus disease detection, with accuracy, recall, mAP@50, and mAP@50:95 rates of 98.7%, 95.9%, 97.7%, and 94%, respectively. These results represent improvements of 4.2%, 3.8%, 4.5%, and 2.4% compared to the original YOLOv10 model. Furthermore, when compared to various other object detection algorithms, YOLOv10-LGDA demonstrates superior recognition accuracy, facilitating precise identification of citrus diseases. This advancement provides substantial technical support for enhancing the quality of citrus fruit and ensuring the sustainable development of the industry. |
