ixrbhii/mango-disease-convnext

Mango leaf disease classifier

Tells which of 8 classes a mango leaf photo shows: Anthracnose, Bacterial Canker, Cutting Weevil, Die Back, Gall Midge, Healthy, Powdery Mildew, Sooty Mould.

ConvNeXt-Small (convnext_small, from convnext_small.fb_in22k_ft_in1k), 224 × 224 RGB, 99 MB (half precision). 99.8 % test accuracy, macro-F1 0.998, on 527 held-out photos. Test photos come from the same datasets the model learned from, so real field photos score lower.

Class	Recall	F1	Test photos
Anthracnose	100.0%	1.000	62
Bacterial Canker	100.0%	1.000	62
Cutting Weevil	100.0%	1.000	63
Die Back	100.0%	1.000	63
Gall Midge	100.0%	1.000	63
Healthy	100.0%	1.000	89
Powdery Mildew	98.4%	0.992	63
Sooty Mould	100.0%	0.992	62

Use

import timm, torch
from PIL import Image

model = timm.create_model("hf-hub:ixrbhii/mango-disease-convnext", pretrained=True).eval()
cfg = timm.data.resolve_data_config({}, model=model)
x = timm.data.create_transform(**cfg)(Image.open("leaf.jpg").convert("RGB")).unsqueeze(0)
p = model(x).softmax(-1)[0]
labels = model.pretrained_cfg["label_names"]
for i in p.argsort(descending=True)[:3]:
    print(labels[i], f"{100 * p[i]:.1f} %")

The training images were resized to 224 × 224 without cropping; timm's transform above (resize + 224 centre crop) gives the same result for square photos. label_descriptions in config.json maps each name to the dataset's original label. Best results: one leaf filling most of the photo, in daylight and in focus. Below about 45 % confidence, ask for a better photo.

In an app: LULC Fetch (Agri ▸ Diagnose crop disease) recognises the crop first and then runs the right disease model, with a photo-quality check and a disease map from geotagged photos.
