Pine wilt disease (PWD) has become increasingly serious recently and causes great damage to the world’s pine forest resources. The use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing helps to identify pine nematode trees in time and has become a feasible and effective approach to precisely monitor PWD infection. However, a rapid and high-accuracy detection approach has not been well established in a complex terrain environment. To this end, a deep learning-based pine nematode tree identification method is proposed by fusing visible and multispectral imagery. A UAV equipped with a multispectral camera and a visible camera was used to obtain imagery, where multispectral imagery includes six bands, i.e., red, green, blue, near-infrared, red edge and red edge 750 nm. Two vegetation indexes, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and NDRE (Normalized Difference Red Edge Index) are extracted as a typical feature according to the reflectance of infected trees in different spectral bands. The YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once v5)-based detection algorithm is adopted and optimized from different aspects to realize the identification of infected pine trees with high detection speed and accuracy. e.g., GhostNet is adopted to reduce the number of model parameters and improve the detection speed; a module combining a CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module) and a CA (Coordinate Attention) mechanism is designed to improve the feature extraction for small-scale pine nematode trees; Transformer module and BiFPN (Bidirectional Feature Pyramid Network) structure are applied to improve the feature fusion capability. The experiments show that the mAP@0.5 of the improved YOLOv5 model is 98.7%, the precision is 98.1%, the recall is 97.3%, the average detection speed of single imagery is 0.067 s, and the model size is 46.69 MB. All these metrics outperform other comparison methods. Therefore, the proposed method can achieve a fast and accurate detection of pine nematode trees, providing effective technical support for the control of a pine nematode epidemic.
