Tea Disease Recognition Based on Image Segmentation and Data Augmentation by Ji Li, Chenyi Liao

“…However, the complex environment of tea plantations—affected by weather variations and uneven lighting—poses significant challenges for building effective disease recognition models using raw field-captured images. To address this, we propose a method that combines two-stage image segmentation with an improved conditional generative adversarial network (IC-GAN). …”
