Abstract

Manual inspection of landscape pathology and textile fiber defects suffers from inherent subjective bias and suboptimal throughput. To bypass these bottlenecks, we propose the Ghost-Convolution Enlightened Vision Transformer (GeT). We constructed a novel hybrid neural network architecture, the Ghost-Convolution Enlightened Vision Transformer (GeT), which synergistically integrates the lightweight local feature extraction proficiency of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with the global semantic modeling capabilities of Vision Transformers (ViT). Utilizing a newly established standard dataset (GLDP15k) comprising 15,000 heterogeneous field images, the model was subjected to rigorous hyperparameter optimization and ablation studies. Optimization on the GLDP15k dataset yielded a peak accuracy of 96.8% across 12 target classes, maintaining a Kappa-coefficient of 0.941. Constrained to 1.16 M parameters, the architecture executes at 5.5 ms per image (180 FPS) on edge hardware. A 6-month application at Yuexiu Park demonstrated a 3.2-fold improvement in detection efficiency and a 35% reduction in pesticide usage compared to manual inspections. This study not only elucidates the interpretability of hybrid attention mechanisms in phytopathology but also adapts these vision-based paradigms to the detection of microscopic anomalies in textile weaving patterns, providing a scalable and computationally efficient solution for both precision plant protection and industrial fabric defect inspection.
