Background Agriculture plays a vital role in the country s economy and human society Rice production is mainly focused on financial improvements as it is demanding worldwide Protecting the rice field from pests during seedling and after production is becoming a challenging research problem Identifying the pest at the right time is crucial so that the measures to prevent rice crops from pests can be taken by considering its stage In this article a new deep learning based pest detection model is proposed The proposed system can detect two types of rice pests stem borer and Hispa using an unmanned aerial vehicle UAV Methodology The image is captured in real time by a camera mounted on the UAV and then processed by filtering labeling and segmentation based technique of color thresholding to convert the image into greyscale for extracting the region of interest This article provides a rice pests dataset and a comparative analysis of existing pre trained models The proposed approach YO CNN recommended in this study considers the results of the previous model because a smaller network was regarded to be better than a bigger one Using additional layers has the advantage of preventing memorization and it provides more precise results than existing techniques Results The main contribution of the research is implementing a new modified deep learning model named Yolo convolution neural network YO CNN to obtain a precise output of up to 0 980 accuracies It can be used to reduce rice wastage during production by monitoring the pests regularly This technique can be used further for target spraying that saves applicators fertilizer water and pesticide and reduces the adverse effect of improper use of applicators on the environment and human beings
