description There are many products obtained from grapes. The early detection of diseases in an economically important fruit is important, and the spread of disease significantly increases financial losses. In recent years, it is known that artificial intelligence techniques have achieved very successful results in image classification. Therefore, the early detection and classification of grape diseases with the latest artificial intelligence techniques and feature reduction techniques was carried out within the scope of this study. The most well-known convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures, texture-based Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) methods, Neighborhood Component Analysis (NCA), feature reduction methods, and machine learning (ML) techniques are the methods used in this article. The proposed hybrid model was compared with two texture-based and four CNN models. The features from the most successful CNN model and texture-based architectures were combined. The NCA method was used to select the best features from the obtained feature map, and the model was classified using the best-known ML classifiers. Our proposed model achieved an accuracy value of 99.1%. This value shows that our model can be used in the detection of grape diseases.
