Enhancing detection of common bean diseases using Fast Gradient Sign Method–trained Vision Transformers

Common bean production in Tanzania is threatened by diseases such as bean rust and bean anthracnose, with early detection critical for effective management. This study presents a Vision Transformer (ViT)-based deep learning model enhanced with adversarial training to improve disease detection robust...
