This study proposes a hybrid deep learning framework based on Data-efficient Image Transformers (DeiT) for plant disease classification and severity estimation. The framework employs DeiT-Base, DeiT-Small, and DeiT-Tiny models to capture global contextual dependencies in plant leaf images. To improve interpretability, a hybrid Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) module is introduced by combining Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) for local feature attribution with Attention Rollout for global dependency visualization. In addition, HSV-based segmentation is applied after classification to isolate disease-relevant regions for damage ratio computation, severity estimation, and explanation refinement. The damage ratio is further integrated with Hybrid XAI attention maps to estimate disease severity. Experiments were conducted on the New Plant Diseases Dataset (Augmented), comprising 70,295 training images and 17,572 validation images across 38 disease classes and 14 plant species. The proposed DeiT-Base model achieved a maximum classification accuracy of 99.13%, outperforming several CNN architectures, including ResNet50, DenseNet121, MobileNetV3, EfficientNet-B4, and InceptionV3. Furthermore, the proposed Hybrid XAI framework demonstrated superior interpretability performance in terms of Focus Score, Background Noise, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and Entropy compared with individual explanation methods. Overall, the proposed framework improves classification accuracy, enhances model transparency, and provides meaningful disease severity estimation, making it a promising solution for intelligent precision agriculture.","植物病害检测对于保障农业生产力和粮食安全至关重要，然而现有方法往往存在可解释性有限和泛化能力不足的问题。本研究提出了一种基于数据高效图像Transformer（Data-efficient Image Transformers，DeiT）的混合深度学习框架，用于植物病害分类和严重程度估计。该框架采用DeiT-Base、DeiT-Small和DeiT-Tiny模型来捕获植物叶片图像中的全局上下文依赖关系。为提高可解释性，引入了一种混合可解释人工智能（Explainable Artificial Intelligence，XAI）模块，将用于局部特征归因的梯度加权类激活映射（Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping，Grad-CAM）与用于全局依赖可视化的注意力展开（Attention Rollout）相结合。此外，在分类之后应用基于HSV的分割来分离病害相关区域，以进行损伤比率计算、严重程度估计和解释优化。损伤比率进一步与混合XAI注意力图相结合以估计病害严重程度。实验在新植物病害数据集（增强版）（New Plant Diseases Dataset (Augmented)）上进行，该数据集包含70,295张训练图像和17,572张验证图像，涵盖38个病害类别和14种植物物种。所提出的DeiT-Base模型达到了99.13%的最高分类准确率，优于多种CNN架构，包括ResNet50、DenseNet121、MobileNetV3、EfficientNet-B4和InceptionV3。此外，所提出的混合XAI框架在聚焦分数（Focus Score）、背景噪声（Background Noise）、信噪比（Signal-to-Noise Ratio，SNR）和熵（Entropy）方面表现出优于单一解释方法的可解释性性能。总体而言，所提出的框架提高了分类准确率，增强了模型透明度，并提供了有意义的病害严重程度估计，使其成为智能精准农业的一种有前景的解决方案。",null,"Discover Artificial Intelligence","2026-09-10T00:00:00Z","论文",10,false,78,{"impact":17,"substance":18,"depth":17,"authority":19,"freshness":20,"relevant":21,"comment":22},18,22,12,8,1,"基于DeiT与混合可解释AI的植物病害分类与严重度估计研究，在7万张图像、38类病害上取得99.13%准确率，方法新颖、数据扎实，对智慧农业病害智能诊断有参考价值。",[24],{"name":10,"url":6},[26,27,28,29,30],"智慧农业","农业人工智能","可解释AI","精准农业","植物病害识别",0,"10.1007\u002Fs44163-026-02191-2",{"doi":32,"openalex_id":34,"authors":35,"venue":10,"cited_by_count":31,"oa_url":6,"card":40,"direction":44,"ingested_from":46},"W7212179384",[36,38],{"name":37,"orcid":9},"Muskan Batra",{"name":39,"orcid":9},"Pooja Sharma",{"tldr":41,"method":42,"finding":43,"direction":44,"opportunity":45},"提出基于DeiT的混合可解释框架，实现植物病害分类与严重度估计。","DeiT-Base\u002FSmall\u002FTiny结合Grad-CAM与Attention","DeiT-Base分类准确率达99.13%，混合XAI可解释性指标优于单一方法。","农业人工智能与决策模型","可探索轻量化DeiT在边缘设备部署及多模态数据融合的病害严重度实时估计。","openalex","2026-09-11T23:30:47.756846Z"]
