Cactus dataset

The global climate is currently experiencing rapid changes that have significant impacts on various regions. Consequently, there is a growing inclination towards cultivating non-traditional crops, such as the prickly pear. People are now exploring the diverse health and aesthetic benefits of the prickly pear, beyond its conventional applications in livestock feed and farmland protection. Given this mounting interest, it is imperative to develop enhanced methods for the early detection and treatment of cactus diseases. In light of the limited availability of cactus databases, we have undertaken the task of compiling a comprehensive collection of images portraying both healthy cacti and those infected with the cochineal insect. The intended purpose of this collection is to facilitate advancements in the fields of deep learning and computer vision.当前全球气候正经历快速变化，对各地区均造成显著影响。因此，人们对种植梨果仙人掌（prickly pear）这类非传统作物的意愿日益高涨。如今，人们除了将其用于传统的牲畜饲料及农田防护之外，还在挖掘其多方面的健康与美学价值。鉴于这种不断攀升的研究兴趣，开发更先进的仙人掌病害早期检测与防治方法已迫在眉睫。由于现有仙人掌数据库资源匮乏，本研究团队已着手构建一套涵盖健康仙人掌与被胭脂蚧（cochineal insect）侵染个体的全面图像数据集。该数据集旨在推动深度学习与计算机视觉领域的技术进步。
