Uncovering Bias in the PlantVillage Dataset

A critical evaluation of the most famous plant disease detection dataset used for developing deep learning models

Plant diseases are responsible for 20 to 40% of crop losses globally each year. Disease detection and identification play an essential role in disease management for minimizing crop losses, and since visual inspection is crucial for disease detection deep learning is a natural fit for this …
