A Research Paper on Crop Disease Detection Using Deep Learning Model

Abstract

Abstract: Crop disease detection is the process of identifying and classifying plant diseases from images or other data. This can be done manually or using automated methods. Manual methods typically involve a human expert visually inspecting the plant and identifying the disease. Automated methods use computer vision algorithms to identify the disease from images or other data. Crop diseases pose a significant threat to global food security by causing substantial yield losses and reduced quality in agricultural production. Timely and accurate detection of crop diseases is crucial to mitigate these losses and ensure sustainable agricultural practices. In recent years, advancements in sensor technology, data analysis techniques, and machine learning algorithms have enabled the development of various methods for crop disease detection. This survey paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies, and challenges in the field of crop disease detection. The paper begins by introducing the importance of crop disease detection in modern agriculture and its impact on both economic and environmental aspects. It then categorizes the existing detection methods into several key approaches, including visual inspection, spectroscopy, image analysis, and sensor-based techniques. For each approach, the paper discusses its underlying principles, advantages, limitations, and representative studies.
