Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its tools are being widely used worldwide. In the area of agriculture, AI is being widely studied and expanding. The use of AI in agriculture is being widely studied and expanding from pre-harvest to post-harvest. The increase in world population has triggered the need to increase food production. This need has triggered a search for solutions that promote increased food production and quality. One way to increase food production and quality is pest control. AI and its tools have proven to be a growing and rising solution in controlling and combating pests. This research focuses on reviewing and demonstrating the advances in combating and controlling pests using AI tools and images. It stands out: the classification of pests; insect identification; use and capture of Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) footage; using Deep Learning (DL) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). A search engine was applied to 5 databases. Cutting criteria were applied in 3 stages, and there were 71 papers at the end. The 71 went through 3 quality assessment questions, leaving 47 works for final analysis. This study demonstrated that the DL and the CNN tool using real images have the potential for insect control and combat solutions. Another tool in recent studies associated with CNN is the attention mechanism, improving pest identification results. Identification of insects through leaf images using CNN requires.
