Therefore, the use of accurate and non-destructive diagnostic methods is important for rice production management. Hyperspectral imaging technology is a type of crop disease identification method with great potential. However, a large amount of redundant information mixed in hyperspectral data makes it more difficult to establish an efficient disease classification model. At the same time, the difficulty and small scale of agricultural hyperspectral imaging data acquisition has resulted in unrepresentative features being acquired. Therefore, the focus of this study was to determine the best classification features and classification models for the five disease classes of leaf blast in order to improve the accuracy of grading the disease. First, the hyperspectral imaging data were pre-processed in order to extract rice leaf samples of five disease classes, and the number of samples was increased by data augmentation methods. Secondly, spectral feature wavelengths, vegetation indices and texture features were obtained based on the amplified sample data. Thirdly, seven one-dimensional deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) models were constructed based on spectral feature wavelengths, vegetation indices, texture features and their fusion features. Finally, the model in this paper was compared and analyzed with the Inception V3, ZF-Net, TextCNN and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU); support vector machine (SVM); and extreme learning machine (ELM) models in order to determine the best classification features and classification models for different disease classes of leaf blast. The results showed that the classification model constructed using fused features was significantly better than the model constructed with a single feature in terms of accuracy in grading the degree of leaf blast disease. The best performance was achieved with the combination of the successive projections algorithm (SPA) selected feature wavelengths and texture features (TFs). The modeling results also show that the DCNN model provides better classification capability for disease classification than the Inception V3, ZF-Net, TextCNN, BiGRU, SVM and ELM classification models. The SPA + TFs-DCNN achieved the best classification accuracy with an overall accuracy (OA) and Kappa of 98.58% and 98.22%, respectively. In terms of the classification of the specific different disease classes, the F1-scores for diseases of classes 0, 1 and 2 were all 100%, while the F1-scores for diseases of classes 4 and 5 were 96.48% and 96.68%, respectively. This study provides a new method for the identification and classification of rice leaf blast and a research basis for assessing the extent of the disease in the field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13163207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]],"date-time":"2021-08-12T22:14:36Z","timestamp":1628806476000},"page":"3207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Rice Leaf Blast Classification Method Based on Fused Features and One-Dimensional Deep Convolutional Neural Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Shuai","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang 110866, China"}]},{"given":"Yingli","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang 110866, China"},{"name":"Liaoning Engineering Research Center for Information Technology in Agriculture, Shenyang 110866, China"}]},{"given":"Tongyu","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang 110866, China"},{"name":"Liaoning Engineering Research Center for Information Technology in Agriculture, Shenyang 110866, China"}]},{"given":"Fenghua","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang 110866, China"},{"name":"Liaoning Engineering Research Center for Information Technology in Agriculture, Shenyang 110866, China"}]},{"given":"Dongxue","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang 110866, China"}]},{"given":"Guosheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang 110866, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rsci.2017.08.001","article-title":"Current Status of Conventional and Molecular Interventions for Blast Resistance in Rice","volume":"24","author":"Srivastava","year":"2017","journal-title":"Rice Sci."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"916","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aat3466","article-title":"Increase in crop losses to insect pests in a warming climate","volume":"361","author":"Deutsch","year":"2018","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Progress and prospects of crop diseases and pests monitoring by remote sensing","volume":"1","author":"Huang","year":"2019","journal-title":"Smart Agric."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9145","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-27272-w","article-title":"A deep learning framework to discern and count microscopic nematode eggs","volume":"8","author":"Akintayo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sci.
