Orange Leaves Images Dataset for the Detection of Huanglongbing

In agriculture, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have increased significantly in the last few years. The use of ML and DL for image classification in plant disease has generated significant interest due to their cost, automatization, scalability, and early detection. However, high-quality image datasets are required to train robust classifier models for plant disease detection. In this work, we have created an image dataset of 649 orange leaves divided into two groups: control (n = 379) and huanglongbing (HLB) disease (n = 270). The images were acquired with several smartphone cameras of high resolution and processed to remove the background. The dataset enriches the information on characteristics and symptoms of citrus leaves with HLB and healthy leaves. This enhancement makes the dataset potentially valuable for disease identification through leaf segmentation and abnormality detection, particularly when applying ML and DL models.
