Leaf Disease Detection Using Machine Learning and Feature Exploration

Abstract

Agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy and plays a major role in the country's socio-economic development. As most part of the Indian financial system is dependent on agriculture production, the close attention to the concern of food production is necessary. The taxonomy and identification of crop infection got important in technical as well as economic in the Agricultural Industry. While keeping track of diseases in plants with the help of specialists can be very costly and ineffective in agriculture region. There is a need for a system which can automatically detect the diseases as it can bring drastic change in monitoring large fields of crop and then plant leaves can be taken cure as soon as possible after detection of disease. The aim of the proposed system is to develop an application which recognizes leaf diseases. For availing this user need to upload the image and then with the help of image processing we can get a digitized colour image of a diseased leaf and then we can proceed with applying CNN to predict leaf disease.
