Reviewer 2 Report

Many sentences in abstract need improvement. Related work section should be elaborated. Various equations used are derived by authors or taken from some other source as respective citation could not be located. I was looking for the comparison with some state of the art methods. The accuracy achieved is questionable for real time uses. It was hard to find motivation for using gts-circle sampling method.

Reviewer 3 Report

The authors' work is interesting and presents new findings in the field of forest inspection for pine diseases. My general impression is that the article is worth publishing; however, very careful proofreading is needed. Many issues exist in the paper's writing.

In particular, the introduction is well-structured. The following section presents the related works in a very detailed way, referring to most of the works addressing a similar problem. The methodology section is easy-to-follow, and the figures used help the reader understand the author's pipeline. Experimental and discussion conclude the manuscript through many evaluation results and comparisons against the state-of-the-art.

A major suggestion for the authors and the journal's impact is to provide their dataset to the public, aiming to help the research community. 

Some minor grammatical comments follow (more are still in the article):

 

*Abstract: in this paper, we propose

*Introduction: many counties -> many countries

*Introduction: "In addition, the circular shape... accuracy of recognition." -> please re-write this sentence as it is tiring for the reader. Many sample sampling etc.

*Introduction: "With the GMCA module is proposed" -> what do the authors mean?

*Introduction: The authors should decide if they will use abbreviations or not. For example: at bulletin: Global Multi-Scale Channel Adaptation Network or GMCA.

*Method: Why section 3 is named methods?

*Method: "In this section,... method." -> too many grammatical issues

*page 12/17: Moreover, After -> why capital?
