Survey on Detecting Lumpy Skin Disease using Deep Learning

Lumpy Skin Disease is a viral illness in cattle that causes fever, skin nodules, swollen lymph nodes, and significant economic losses due to reduced productivity. Traditional detection methods, such as clinical inspection or lab tests, can be slow and often impractical in rural areas. This survey examines recent deep learning approaches for detecting LSD from cattle skin images. We compare architectures, preprocessing techniques, dataset choices, evaluation metrics, and deployment issues. Finally, we discuss existing limitations and suggest future directions to make LSD detection more reliable, generalizable, and usable in real‑world settings.
