Abstract
Rice diseases pose a severe threat to global food security, while traditional detection methods suffer from low efficiency and dependence on manual expertise. To address the challenges of insufficient feature extraction and poor multi-scale disease adaptability in existing deep learning approaches under complex field environments, this study proposes ADAM-DETR, a rice disease detection algorithm based on improved RT-DETR. We constructed the RiDDET-5 dataset containing 9,303 images covering five major disease categories. The algorithm innovatively designs three core modules: the AdaptiveVision Network (AVN) backbone for enhanced feature extraction, the Dual-Domain Enhanced Transformer (DDET) module for spatiotemporal-frequency domain collaboration, and the Adaptive Multi-scale Feature Model (AMFM) for improved feature fusion. Experimental results demonstrate that ADAM-DETR achieves 94.76% mAP@50 on the RiDDET-5 dataset, representing a 3.25% improvement over the baseline, and 83.32% mAP@50 on the public Kamatis dataset with a 2.19% enhancement, validating its cross-domain generalization capability. The algorithm requires only 42.8G FLOPs with 14.3M parameters, achieving an optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency, providing an effective technical solution for disease monitoring in smart agriculture.
