Leaf Disease Detection and Classification

Abstract

Diseases in fruit cause devastating problem in economic losses and production in agricultural industry worldwide. In this paper, a solution for the detection and classification of fruit diseases is proposed and experimentally validated. The image processing based proposed approach is composed of the following steps; in the first step K-Means clustering technique is used for the image segmentation, in the second step some features are extracted from the segmented image, and finally images are classified into one of the classes by using a Support Vector Machine. Our experimental results express that the proposed solution can significantly support accurate detection and automatic classification of fruit diseases.
