Corn Leaf Disease Detection using Quantum CNN

Arepalli Peda Gopi, Sravya Chennamsetti, Mary Midhila Poluri +3 more

Corn leaf diseases are one of the biggest challenges undermining crop productivity and ensuring global food security, so early and accurate identification is crucial for proper management of the crop. Although Dense CNN and GoogleNet achieved high accuracies of 98.06% and 98.7%, respectively, the models fail to capture more complex relationships and patterns related to various leaf diseases because they use classical deep learning architectures. But with large datasets, the potential comes only in optimizing feature extraction and classification processes. With this, a need arises to introduce Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNN), where the principle of quantum computing can be utilized to enhance the representation of features for better detection accuracy. The demonstration of our experiments showed that the QCNN achieves a detection accuracy of 99%, superior to both Dense CNN and GoogleNet. Agriculture.

Revolutionizing smart farming: Quantum computing applications in plant disease detection: A hybrid quantum-classical approach for sustainable agriculture

S. H. Lakhani

This study investigates the effectiveness of a hybrid quantum-classical framework for plant disease detection, with a focus on improving classification accuracy compared to conventional approaches. Image-based datasets of crop diseases were processed and encoded into variational quantum circuits (VQCs), which were then integrated with classical machine learning classifiers. The proposed model achieved an overall classification accuracy of 95.2%, outperforming a baseline convolutional neural network that recorded 91.4% accuracy on the same dataset. Performance evaluation was carried out using multiple metrics including precision, recall, and F1-score, with the hybrid approach showing consistent gains across all categories. Furthermore, the model demonstrated reduced overfitting and improved robustness when tested under noisy and high-dimensional input conditions. These results highlight the potential of quantum-assisted machine learning to significantly enhance crop disease detection, offering a scalable and accurate pathway for sustainable agriculture and precision farming.
