TP181; In the actual complex environment, the recognition accuracy of crop leaf disease is often not high. Inspired by the brain parallel interaction mechanism, a two-stream parallel interactive convolutional neural network ( TSPI-CNN ) is proposed to improve the recognition accuracy. TSPI-CNN includes a two-stream parallel network ( TSP-Net) and a parallel interactive network ( PI-Net) . TSP-Net simulates the ventral and dorsal stream. PI-Net simulates the interaction between two pathways in the process of human brain visual information transmission. A large number of experiments shows that the proposed TSPI-CNN performs well on MK-D2, PlantVillage, Apple-3 leaf, and Cassava leaf datasets. Furthermore, the effect of numbers of interactions on the recognition performance of TSPI-CNN is discussed. The experimental results show that as the number of interactions increases, the recognition accuracy of the network also increases. Finally, the network is visualized to show the working mechanism of the network and provide enlightenment for future research.
