AI-Based Portable App Could Help Growers Prevent Production Losses

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and transfer learning are being applied to just-in-time crop disease detection, through a smartphone tool that scans banana plants for signs of disease and pests. The tool is built into an app called Tumaini, which means “hope” in Swahili. Tumaini aims to link the farmer with extension workers who can help to stem an outbreak quickly. It can upload data to a global system for large-scale monitoring and control. The app’s goal is to facilitate a robust, easily deployable response to support banana farmers in need of crop...Read full article

    artificial intelligence
    The ability of a machine to perform certain complex functions normally associated with human intelligence, such as judgment, pattern recognition, understanding, learning, planning, and problem solving.
    deep learning
    Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that involves the use of artificial neural networks to model and solve complex problems. The term "deep" in deep learning refers to the use of deep neural networks, which are neural networks with multiple layers (deep architectures). These networks, often called deep neural networks or deep neural architectures, have the ability to automatically learn hierarchical representations of data. Key concepts and components of deep learning include: ...
    computer vision
    Computer vision enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data, such as images and videos. It involves the development of algorithms, techniques, and systems that enable machines to gain an understanding of the visual world, similar to how humans perceive and interpret visual information. Key aspects and tasks within computer vision include: Image recognition: Identifying and categorizing objects, scenes, or patterns within images. This involves training algorithms...
