PlantVillage Disease Classification Challenge - Color Images

# Data origins
The dataset is originally hosted at PlantVillage Disease Classification Challenge.
We use the modified version in this github repository to do controlled experiments.
We only use the raw color images dataset and delete the unconventional characters in the classes directory name and `.csv` filenames.

# Directory explanation
The `80-20` direcotry has multiple `.txt` files which contain the training (~80%), validation(~10%) and testing (~10%) datasets instances filenames and the corresponding label indexes. The validation dataset quantity is `5430` in all data separation. In our experiment code (not included in this archive), the validation and testing dataset are merged together.

# Data usage
## Replicate our experiments
We have used this dataset in writing our paper. The reference information can be seen at https://gitlab.com/huix/leaf-disease-plant-village.

### Steps
1. `cd` to the direcotry (e.g. `/home/usrname/plantvillage_deeplearning_paper_dataset`) that contains the `color` directory.
2. run `python change_filename_prefix.py --prefix /home/usrname/plantvillage_deeplearning_paper_dataset` to modify the prefix path (which is `/home/h/plantvillage_deeplearning_paper_dataset` in our former generated datasets).
3. Fin. You can use our opens ource codes repository to do the later experiments.

## Generate your own training/validation/testing datasets
This data separation generating code isn't included in the dataset archive, it is in our open source code. Please see our open source code repository for the detailed information.
