Researchers have developed new methods for plant leaf disease classification to aid in early detection and treatment. One approach involves training a new base model using the DenseNet201 architecture on a custom dataset, which demonstrates faster and more robust training with less data via transfer learning. Another method, AgriKD, uses cross-architecture knowledge distillation to transfer knowledge from a computationally expensive Vision Transformer to a more efficient convolutional student model, significantly reducing model size and inference time for edge deployment.
