When Ground-Truth Fidelity Matters: An Orchestrated UAS Framework for Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus Detection Using Vision Transformers and Machine Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is a destructive pathogen of sweet corn and other cereal crops, causing yield losses and complicating early detection because symptoms are spatially variable and subtle. In sweet corn seed production, WSMV also has regulatory importance, as phytosanitary regulations from countries such as New Zealand and Chile require seed lots to be certified virus-free. Visual scouting is unreliable because symptoms can resemble abiotic stress, while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is accurate but expensive, labor-intensive, and difficult to scale.
