Deep Learning Techniques in Tomato Plant – A Review

Deep learning establishes an ongoing, modern technique for image processing with large potential and promising results. After proving its efficiency in various applications DL has also entered into the domain of agriculture. Here, we surveyed 38 research works that applied deep learning techniques to various research problems in tomato plant. We examine the areas of tomato plant research where deep learning is applied, data preprocessing techniques applied, transfer learning and augmentation techniques used. Studied dataset information like data sources used, number of images, classes and train test validation ratio applied. In addition, we study comparisons done on various deep learning architectures and discussed the outcome. The finding showed that DL techniques outperformed all other image processing techniques but DL performs mainly depends on the dataset used.
