摘要: Accurate disease recognition through computer vision is crucial for the intelligent management of potato production. Popular data-driven classification methods face challenges including limited labelled data and poor model portability. Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) addresses these challenges with a novel learning strategy. However, the complex field environment introduces a significant domain shift problem due to varying conditions. Existing UDA methods usually concentrate on aligning global data distribution and employ a single structure for disease feature extraction, thereby limiting their efficacy in true field environment. To tackle this challenge of potato disease recognition, the Multi-Representation Adaptive Network (MRSAN) based on subdomain alignment is presented. MRSAN effectively aligns feature distributions across diverse data by minimising distribution differences among relevant subdomains. Simultaneously, the multi-representation extraction method captures finer details from various perspectives in the disease images. The combination of these two approaches efficiently mitigates the adverse effects caused by various interference factors in field environment. Based on the acquisition conditions of light variation and disease progression, two field potato disease image datasets are created, containing five and six kinds of potato leaf disease, respectively. Extensive transfer experiments are conducted on the two datasets. MRSAN achieves average classification accuracies of 87.03% and 80.06% on the datasets for the corresponding transfer tasks, outperforming the other compared methods. This not only validates the effectiveness of MRSAN but also demonstrates its robust ability to generalise across changes in regard to light variation and disease progression.
