Deep learning models require a large amount of high-quality training data. However, collecting and managing large amounts of guaranteed-quality data is a critical issue. To meet these requirements, this study proposes a scalable plant disease information collection and management system (PlantInfoCMS). The proposed PlantInfoCMS consists of data collection, annotation, data inspection, and dashboard modules to generate accurate and high-quality pest and disease image datasets for learning purposes. Additionally, the system provides various statistical functions allowing users to easily check the progress of each task, making management highly efficient. Currently, PlantInfoCMS handles data on 32 types of crops and 185 types of pests and diseases, and stores and manages 301,667 original and 195,124 labeled images. The PlantInfoCMS proposed in this study is expected to significantly contribute to the diagnosis of crop pests and diseases by providing high-quality AI images for learning about and facilitating the management of crop pests and diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23115032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,25]],"date-time":"2023-05-25T02:30:06Z","timestamp":1684981806000},"page":"5032","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["PlantInfoCMS: Scalable Plant Disease Information Collection and Management System for Training AI Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1131-6396","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong","family":"Jin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Convergence Engineering for Intelligent Drone, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Helin","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Artificial Intelligence, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Ri","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Convergence Engineering for Intelligent Drone, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Seong Joon","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Convergence Engineering for Intelligent Drone, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0002-9386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeong Hyeon","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Artificial Intelligence, Sejong University, Seoul 05006, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"UN (2023, April 25).
