This paper addresses the pressing issue of coffee leaf rust, a fungal disease threatening Central American coffee production. Climate change exacerbates the problem by reducing the latency period between infection and symptom emergence, leading to more severe epidemics. To combat this, researchers explore deep learning models for early detection. However, these models require significant processing power and data, which can be scarce. To overcome these limitations, a preprocessing technique is proposed, utilizing high-pass filters to enhance lesion-contrast in training images. This method achieves over 90% performance across various evaluation metrics (precision, recall, F1-score, Dice coefficient), outperforming other methods and unaltered image usage.

Coffee leaf rust is a big problem for coffee farmers. Climate change makes it worse by making the disease spread faster. To stop this from happening, scientists are trying to develop new ways to detect the disease early. One approach they’re exploring is using super-powerful computers and lots of data to teach machines to recognize signs of the disease. But these machines need a lot of power and data, which can be hard to find. So, researchers came up with an idea to make it easier by improving the quality of images used for training. This new method works really well, doing better than other methods in tests.
