Leaf Health Identification on Melon Plants Using Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

Plants require complete nutrients to grow well and produce good-quality products. Some examples of symptoms in plants that lack nutrients such as wrinkled leaves and slow ripening of fruit, so plants are less productive. Plants that lack nutrients are unhealthy plants. This research aims to identify healthy and unhealthy leaves on melon plants so that immediate action can be taken to deal with them. This research will be useful for melon farmers everywhere. The dataset used is data taken directly using a digital camera with the help of melon farmers to label each data, both healthy and unhealthy leaves. This research has two main works, they are the training process and the testing process. The proposed research uses the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method with 10 epochs. The test results on the 20-test data achieve 100% accuracy. We used accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score to evaluate the classification method.
