Abstract
Coffee Leaf Rust (Hemileia vastatrix) poses a serious threat to Robusta coffee productivity. Manual identification is often slow and subjective, while standard Deep Learning segmentation methods like U-Net with VGG16 encoder bear heavy computational loads (~24.89 million parameters), hindering deployment on resource-constrained devices. This study aims to optimize computational efficiency by proposing a Lightweight U-Net architecture based on the MobileNetV2 encoder. The model's performance was comparatively evaluated against the VGG16 baseline using the PlantSeg public dataset. Experimental results show that MobileNetV2 integration successfully reduced model size massively by 96% (to ~0.95 million parameters) and accelerated inference time by ~20% (76.28 ms). Although there was a slight F1-Score decrease of 0.3% compared to the baseline, the proposed architecture offers the best trade-off between efficiency and accuracy, making it a viable solution for mobile implementation
