There is an increasing demand for automated systems capable of accurately diagnosing paddy diseases, which would help lower pesticide usage and prevent yield loss. Yet, the absence of publicly available datasets with annotated disease labels has posed a challenge to the development and benchmarking of advanced deep learning models. To address this issue, we created and open-sourced the Paddy Doctor dataset, facilitating the development of reliable and effective paddy disease diagnosis systems.

The Paddy Doctor dataset contains 16,225 labeled paddy leaf images across 13 classes (12 different paddy diseases and healthy leaves). It is the largest expert-annotated visual image dataset to experiment with and benchmark computer vision algorithms. The paddy leaf images were collected from real paddy fields using a high-resolution (1,080 x 1,440 pixels) smartphone camera. The collected images were carefully cleaned and annotated with the help of an agronomist.
