For applications like plant disease detection, usually, a model is trained on publicly available data and tested on field data. This means that the test data distribution is not the same as the training data distribution, which affects the classifier performance adversely. We handle this dataset shift by ensuring that the features are learned from disease spots in the leaf or healthy regions, as applicable. This is achieved using a faster Region-based convolutional neural network (RCNN) as one of the solutions and an attention-based network as the other. The average classification accuracies of these classifiers are approximately 95% while evaluated on the test set corresponding to their training dataset. These classifiers also performed equivalently, with an average score of 84% on a dataset not seen during the training phase.
