SeptoSympto: a precise image analysis of Septoria tritici blotch disease symptoms using deep learning methods on scanned images.

SeptoSympto takes the same amount of time as a visual assessment to evaluate STB symptoms. However, unlike visual assessments, it allows for data to be stored and evaluated by experts and non-experts in a more accurate and unbiased manner. The methods used in SeptoSympto make it a transferable, highly accurate, computationally inexpensive, easy-to-use, and adaptable tool. This study demonstrates the potential of using deep learning to assess complex plant disease symptoms such as STB.
