Abstract

Millets, including pearl, finger, foxtail, proso, kodo, and little millet, are small-grained cereals known for their climate resilience. These crops require enhanced digital tools for species and cultivar recognition, disease detection, and origin and quality assessment. ML techniques based on neural networks, such as CNNs or combined models, have helped in millet classification from diverse data sources, including leaf and seed images, hyperspectral scans, and field-level imagery. This review elaborates on findings made between 2020 and 2025 while contrasting model families, datasets, and reported metrics across the modalities, pointing out key challenges such as diversity in datasets, environmental variability, explainability, and edge deployment.
