Abstract: Rice is one of the most important food crops in China and around the world. However, with the continuous transformation of human activities, the quality of climate, soil, and water sources has also changed, and disease affecting rice has become increasingly serious. Traditional artificial pest identification methods have been unable to adapt to the occurrence of a large number of diseases, and artificial naked eye identification also increases the uncertainty of the identification results, and cannot “suit the remedy to the case”, which will not cure the disease, or even achieve half the result with half the effort. In the incidence range of rice diseases, rice blast, rice false smut, and bacterial blight have the highest incidence rate, the greatest harm, and are the most representative. Therefore, this paper mainly focuses on the above three categories. In this paper, the identification of rice diseases is further studied. First, sample pictures of rice blast, rice false smut, and bacterial leaf blight diseases are collected. Due to the differences in the distance and light of the sample photos, their size and angle is biased. Therefore, some means are needed to unify the specifications of these images, so as to improve the efficiency of network model recognition. Neural network recognition needs to absorb many sample images to classify and learn features. The main research objects of this paper are rice blast, rice false smut, and bacterial wilt. Therefore, this paper also expands the data set for this kind of disease, and unifies the specifications through size cutting, angle change, and vertical symmetrical mirror image processing. Then, we built a new network model based on deep learning to realize the parameter initialization design. The accuracy of the rice disease identification model built at the beginning does not satisfy the practical requirements. In order to upgrade the model in depth, this experiment increases the entry point of analysis and research, and integrates four parameters: iteration times, batch size, learning rate, and optimization algorithm in order to strive for the optimization of the experimental results. In this study, the confusion matrix is selected as the evaluation standard, and experimental results with more objectivity and reference value are obtained through the horizontal comparison of visual graphics generator (VGG) and residual network (ResNet), two highly referential network models. The results show that the recognition accuracy of the optimized model is 98.64%, which achieves the goal of accurately identifying diseases.
