A Citrus Fruits and Leaves Dataset for Detection and Classification of Citrus Diseases through Machine Learning

(1) In agriculture, plant diseases are primarily responsible for the reduction in production which causes economic losses. In plants, citrus is used as a major source of nutrients like vitamin C throughout the world. However, ‘Citrus’ diseases badly effect the production and quality of citrus fruits.

(2) The computer vision and image processing techniques have been widely used for detection and classification of diseases in plants.

(3) The dataset contains an image gallery of healthy and unhealthy citrus fruits and leaves that could be usable for the researchers to prevent plants from diseases using advanced computer vision techniques. The disease targeted in the data sets are the Blackspot, Canker, Scab, Greening, and Melanose.

(4) The dataset contains 759 images of healthy and unhealthy images for both Citrus fruits and leaves collectively. Each image contains 256 * 25 dimensions with 72 dpi resolution.

(5) All images were acquired from the Sargodha region, a tropical area of Pakistan under the supervision of Dr. Basharat ALi Saleem, Endeavour Executive Fellow Curtin University · Horticulture Research Laboratory Postharvest Australia · Bentley

(6) All images were annotated manually by the domain expert Dr. Basharat ALi Saleem to represent their every class such as : For Citrus fruits (Black Spot, Canker, Greening, Scab, and healthy with total number of 150 images ), For Citrus Leaves (Black Spot, Canker, Greening, Melanose, and healthy with total number of 609 image)

(1) 在农业领域，植物病害是导致产量下降并引发经济损失的主要诱因。柑橘作为全球范围内维生素C等营养物质的重要供应来源，被广泛种植与应用。然而，柑橘病害会严重影响柑橘果实的产量与品质。
(2) 计算机视觉与图像处理技术已被广泛应用于植物病害的检测与分类任务。
(3) 本数据集包含健康与染病的柑橘果实及叶片图像库，可供研究人员借助先进计算机视觉技术开展植物病害防控相关研究。本数据集针对的病害包括黑斑病（Blackspot）、溃疡病（Canker）、疮痂病（Scab）、黄龙病（Greening）以及黑星病（Melanose）。
(4) 本数据集共包含759张柑橘果实与叶片的健康及染病图像，所有图像的尺寸均为256×25像素，分辨率为72dpi。
(5) 所有图像均采集自巴基斯坦热带地区萨戈达（Sargodha）区域，采集工作由时任科廷大学（Curtin University）奋进执行研究员的Basharat ALi Saleem博士，在澳大利亚收获后园艺研究实验室（Postharvest Australia · Horticulture Research Laboratory）宾利（Bentley）分部的指导下完成。
(6) 所有图像均由领域专家Basharat ALi Saleem博士进行手动标注，以明确各图像所属类别：其中柑橘果实图像共150张，涵盖黑斑病、溃疡病、黄龙病、疮痂病以及健康样本；柑橘叶片图像共609张，涵盖黑斑病、溃疡病、黄龙病、黑星病以及健康样本。
