Image processing and classification, a method for plant disease detecion

Abstract

The plant disease detection is the major issue of the computer vision and machine learning. The plant disease detection has the various phases like pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. In the existing technique support vector machine is used for the classification. The support vector machine approach has the low accuracy for the plant disease detection and also it can classify data into two classes which affect its performance. The proposed methodology is based on the region based segmentation, textual feature analysis and k-nearest neighbor method is applied for the classification. The proposed method is implemented in MATLAB and results are analyzed in terms of accuracy. The proposed technique has high accuracy and compared to existing technique.
