Precision agriculture relies on the early detection and isolation of crop diseases, and this research details how the You Only Look Once, Version 8 (YOLOv8) algorithm was used for the PlantVillage dataset. This research looks at how Deep Learning (DL) and Computer Vision (CV) could streamline and improve the diagnostic process, a problem with conventional disease detection approaches. The YOLOv8 model is trained and evaluated using the PlantVillage dataset, which consists of high-resolution photos encompassing different classes of crops and diseases. It is found that YOLOv8 outperformed other popular Machine Learning (ML) models in identifying agricultural diseases with 95% accuracy, 90% precision, 95% recall, 92% F1 score, and 90% specificity. Parameter optimization, advanced network architectures, and integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and drones for real-time disease monitoring are just some of the future research directions proposed in this study, along with discussions of the difficulties posed by data availability, computational complexity, and resource requirements. YOLOv8's successful application to the PlantVillage dataset demonstrates its potential to automate and improve crop disease diagnosis, leading to more effective and environmentally friendly farming methods.

This study primarily examines how well four pretrained deep learning models perform in identifying eye disorders using four metrics we developed: recall, precision, accuracy, and F1 Score. With the help of universal custom layers, the models are adjusted, and the outcomes are examined. The study then suggests an ensemble method that uses majority voting to combine the probabilistic outputs of the top-performing models. The suggested methodology outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in experiments using a publicly available dataset, with average values for Recall, Precision, Accuracy, and F1 Score of 81.25%, 83.68%, 95.17%, and 79.12%, respectively. The work shows how well-trained deep learning models can identify eye illnesses and have the potential to improve public health, especially in mass screening programs.
