Abstract: Deep learning strategies have been achieved over the historical decades to resolve many computer vision applications. Recently, these deep learning algorithms have been extensively used as a tool in classification problems. Generally, the deep learning algorithms trained with gradient-based optimizers, which has some downsides such as the slow speed of convergence and stuck in local minima. As a solution, the planned work using meta-heuristic based Grey Wolf and Whales optimization algorithms for the automatic plant disease detection model. The planned work has explored the application of automatic plant disease identification through the leaf images with the help of the image processing approach. The planned research has evaluated the deep learning algorithm with Grey Wolf and Whales optimization techniques using the three types of datasets, such as Plant Village, New Plant Disease, and Rice Leaf Disease databases. The simulation consequences illustrate that the computational efficiency of the Grey Wolf and Whales based automatic disease identification process is boosted when coupled with the deep learning method.
