DETECTION OF PLANT DISEASES WITH MULTI-STAGE, MULTI-SCALE DEEP LEARNING

In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a plant image from a user device and applying a first digital model to first regions within the image for classifying each of the first regions into a class of a first set of classes corresponding to a first plurality of plant diseases, a healthy condition, or a combination of a second plurality of plant diseases. The method also includes applying a second digital model to one or more second regions within the image for classifying each of the one or more second regions into a class of a second set of classes corresponding to the second plurality of plant diseases. The method then includes transmitting classification data related to the classes of the first set of classes and the classes of the second set of classes to the user device into which the regions are classified.
