In this work, we present an IoT-based sound detection model for identifying red palm weevil (RPW) larvae to protect date palm trees at the early stage of infestation. The proposed detection system is mainly based on a modified mixed depthwise convolutional network (MixConvNet) as a recent deep learning classifier. The public TreeVibes dataset, which contains short audio recordings of feeding and/or moving RPWs, was successfully tested and assessed with the proposed MixConvNet classifier. There were 146 and 351 specimens of infested and clean sounds examined, respectively. The classification results showed that our proposed MixConvNet is efficient and superior to other deep learning classifiers, such as Xception and residual network (Resnet) models in previous related studies, obtaining the best accuracy score of 97.38. Moreover, the MixConvNet classifier is capable of identifying RPW infestation cases precisely with a high accuracy value of 95.90 ± 1.46, using 10-fold cross-validation. Therefore, practical implementation of our proposed IoT-enabled early sound detection system of RPWs is considered the future milestone of this study. © 2021 THE AUTHORS date: 2022 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85119063330&doi=10.1016%2fj.aej.2021.10.050&partnerID=40&md5=782776b3701eb3e8ee5141952948caef id_number: 10.1016/j.aej.2021.10.050 full_text_status: none publication: Alexandria Engineering Journal volume: 61 number: 7 pagerange: 5309-5319 refereed: TRUE issn: 11100168 citation: Esmail Karar, M. and Abdel-Aty, A.-H. and Algarni, F. and Fadzil Hassan, M. and Abdou, M.A. and Reyad, O.
