DBA_SSD: A Novel End-to-End Object Detection Algorithm Applied to Plant Disease Detection

In response to the difficulty of plant leaf disease detection and classification, this study proposes a novel plant leaf disease detection method called deep block attention SSD (DBA_SSD) for disease identification and disease degree classification of plant leaves. We propose three plant leaf detect...
