Plant leaf Disease Identification using Deep learning techniques

Abstract

Agriculture is an important source of our country’s growth. The major loss in an agricultural economy is because of the plant disease. Though technology plays a vital role in all the fields still today the agriculture field is using the old methodologies. Successful cultivation depends on identifying plant disease. Previously the identification was done manually by the experienced people but now it became difficult due to environmental changes. By using the deep learning techniques the plant disease can be identified effectively. Vgg16 and ResNet are the proposed techniques to increase accuracy than the existing system. The disease can be identified with images of the leaves by applying those deep learning techniques. Detection can be involved in steps like image acquisition, image pre-processing, image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. By controlling the disease, productivity can be increased. The features of the leaf image are taken and trained using the neural network algorithm and then the prediction is done by testing the images.
