Abstract:

Livestock poisoning by several kinds of poisonous plants causes grievous economic losses to the livestock industry. Poisonous plants are also a fatal threat to humans, ingesting these plants can cause several side effects in the body because of their toxicity. Hence, it is essential to develop a rapid approach to recognize poisonous plants efficiently. This paper addresses a recognition approach for eighteen poisonous plants using poisonous plants leaf (PPL) dataset which has been generated using image augmentation techniques that contains 54000 training, 27000 validation, and 9000 testing images. Six different state-of-the-art deep learning models have been used in this study such as Xception, ResNet152V2, InceptionResNetV2, MobileNetV2, DenseNet201, and NASNetLarge for classifying leaf images of poisonous plants. Xception has shown more significant performance than other models, achieved 99.71% training and 99.37% testing accuracy. NASNetLarge and InceptionResNetV2 have achieved 96.89% and 95.18% test accuracy, respectively, and MobileNetV2 achieved the lowest test accuracy.

I. Introduction

Plants are very crucial for all living things but poisonous plants cause a severe economic loss to the livestock industries all over the world, and toxins of these plants are also dangerous for humans [1]. Ingesting poisonous plants causes burning of the mouth, skin irritation, diarrhea, headache, blurred vision, nausea, arrhythmia, dizziness, tremors, and many other diseases [2]. A remarkable number of poisonous plants are grown throughout the world, and rosary pea, sugar apple, mexican prickly poppy, itchytree, giant calotrope, hashish, colocynth, dodder, moonflower, oleander, blue plumbago, crepe jasmine, philodendron, arrowhead, dumb canes, caladium, golden pothos, and stinging nettle are commonly seen poisonous plants in many countries. Rosary pea is native to Australia and Asia, seeds of this plant contain abrin which is a highly toxic toxalbumin that can be deadly for humans and animals. Seeds of sugar apple are extremely poisonous, dried fruit and powder of seeds are used as insecticide and fish poison in India. Mexican prickly poppy has extremely dangerous toxin characteristics which contains isoquinoline alkaloids and almost all parts such as bark, flowers, fruits, leaves, roots, seeds, and stems are highly poisonous. Fruits of itchytree are poisonous, and this plant is generally grown in Southern Asia, and Northern Australasia. Giant calotrope contains calotropin which is a toxic cardenolide that causes respiratory and cardiac failure. Flower stalks of hashish are highly poisonous [3]. Colocynth has some toxic side effects and causes gastrointestinal disorders. Dodder is harmful to horses, affects the liver and nervous system of horses, and absorbs poisons from the host plants. All parts of the moonflower are toxic which contains a threatening level of tropane alkaloid, ingesting this plant can cause anticholinergic effect, tachycardia, hallucinations, nausea, and diarrhea [4]. Flower, leaf, stem, and twig of oleander contain toxic ingredients such as digitoxigenin, neriin, oleandrin, and oleondroside, and poisoning of this plant affects almost all parts of the body. Blue plumbago irritates the eyes and skin, and fruit, seed, and root of this plant are toxic. Crepe jasmine contains more than 66 different types of alkaloids, and almost all parts of it are toxic [5]. Philodendron, arrowhead, dumb canes, caladium, and golden pothos are poisonous houseplants, and these plants can be a danger to pets and children. Stinging nettle causes severe skin irritation, and is highly toxic for pets.
