Multi-Platform Detection of Melon Leaf Abnormalities Using AVGHEQ and YOLOv7

This research develops a multiplatform system for detecting abnormalities in melon leaves, integrating an Internet of Things (IoT) approach using Jetson Nano, a Streamlit-based website, and a mobile application for real-time monitoring. The system employs preprocessing with Average Histogram Equalization (AVGHEQ) to enhance image quality, followed by modeling with the YOLOv7 algorithm on a dataset of 469 training images and 52 test images, validated through 5-fold cross-validation. The model achieved a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 84% with an inference detection time of 4.5 milliseconds. Implementation on Jetson Nano resulted in a 25% increase in CPU usage (from 25% to 50%) and a 20% increase in RAM usage (from 70% to 90%). By combining these platforms and leveraging robust data preprocessing and modeling techniques, the system provides an accessible, efficient, and scalable solution for agricultural monitoring, enabling farmers to address plant health issues promptly and effectively.
