Abstract
Watermelon leaf diseases, caused by various factors such as fungi, viruses, and bacteria, can have a significant impact on agricultural yields. To increase the amount and quality of watermelon produced, early diagnosis of this disease is essential. This study aims to compare the performance of two Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) architectures included in Deep Learning, namely MobileNet and ResNet, in classifying watermelon leaf diseases using a dataset taken from Kaggle. This dataset consists of 1000 watermelon leaf images with three conditions, namely Downy Mildew (380 images), Healthy (205 images), and Mosaic Virus (415 images). ). 95% accuracy, 96% precision, 94% recall, and 95% f1-score are the results of the MobileNet model. In contrast, the ResNet model performs better, with 97% accuracy, 96% precision, 97% recall, and 97% f1-score. The study's findings show that ResNet outperforms MobileNet in the classification of watermelon leaf illnesses, despite both models' excellent and effective performance for automatic plant disease detection applications.
