Robust Multi-Sensor Consensus Plant Disease Detection Using the Choquet Integral.

Over the last few years, several studies have appeared that employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to improve sustainable development in the agricultural sector. Specifically, these intelligent techniques provide mechanisms and procedures to facilitate decision-making in the agri-food industry. One of the application areas has been the automatic detection of plant diseases. These techniques, mainly based on deep learning models, allow for analysing and classifying plants to determine possible diseases facilitating early detection and thus preventing the propagation of the disease. In this way, this paper proposes an Edge-AI device that incorporates the necessary hardware and software components for automatically detecting plant diseases from a set of images of a plant leaf. In this way, the main goal of this work is to design an autonomous device that allows the detection of possible diseases that can detect potential diseases in plants. This will be achieved by capturing multiple images of the leaves and implementing data fusion techniques to enhance the classification process and improve its robustness. Several tests have been carried out to determine that the use of this device significantly increases the robustness of the classification responses to possible plant diseases.
