Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technology and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in agriculture have paved the way for groundbreaking solutions in plant identification. This research pioneers the development and training of a deep learning model to identify three aromatic plants—rosemary, mint, and bay leaf—using advanced computer-aided detection within the You Only Look Once (YOLO) framework. Employing the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) methodology, the study meticulously covers data understanding, preparation, modeling, evaluation, and deployment phases. The dataset, consisting of images from diverse devices and annotated with bounding boxes, was instrumental in the training process. The model’s performance was evaluated using the mean average precision at a 50% intersection over union (mAP50), a metric that combines precision and recall. The results demonstrated that the model achieved a precision of 0.7 or higher for each herb, though recall values indicated potential over-detection, suggesting the need for database expansion and methodological enhancements. This research underscores the innovative potential of deep learning in aromatic plant identification and addresses both the challenges and advantages of this technique. The findings significantly advance the integration of artificial intelligence in agriculture, promoting greater efficiency and accuracy in plant identification.
