Image dataset of infected date palm leaves by dubas insects

The palm leaf images were categorized based on their health status and the presence of insects, resulting in four categories: healthy, infected with bugs only, infected with honeydew only, and infected by mixed insects and honeydew. Images of leaves infected with insects depict a range of insect life cycle stages, from the third generation of nymphs to the adult stage in the fifth nymph stage. Two drone cameras were employed to capture the images, resulting in a dataset of 3000 images, with 800 per non-bug category and 600 for the bug category. The dataset is valuable for assessing infestation severity, estimating insect populations, and determining the extent of damage.
