4. Abstract: (Maximum 8 Lines)

Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. Almost 65% of people rely
upon it & shares major part of the GDP. Disease detection plays a vital role in
prevention of quantity and quality of the agricultural product. Leaf shows the
symptoms by changing color and showing the spots on it. Earlier methodology
was manual observation of leaf for diseases that takes time and was costly. This
paper proposes a software solution to automatically detect and classify plant
leaf diseases by image processing of leaf images. My aim is to detect the
disease in leaf at an early stage and thus take suitable measures to stop this
disease. In this we tend to area unit using image processing techniques to
classify diseases & quickly diagnosis can be carried out as per disease. This
approach will enhance productivity of crops. It includes several steps viz.
digital image acquisition, image pre-processing, segmentation, features
extraction and neural network-based classification. The diseases considered in
this are Late blight, Yellow leaf curl virus and bacterial spot. Aim of my project
is to detect the plant diseases and provide solutions to recover from the disease.
This software system also shows remedies for the disease.
5. Objectives of the Project: (Minimum 3)

1. To identify the disease affected to the plant leaf in the field.

2. To notify the status of the crop to the farmer for early precautions.

6. Existing System (If any): (Maximum 8 Lines)

Limitation of existing work:

• The implementation still lacks in accuracy of result in some cases.
More optimization is needed.

• Priori information is needed for segmentation.

• Database extension is needed in order to reach the more accuracy.

• Very few diseases have been covered. So, work needs to be extended
to cover more diseases.

• The possible reasons that can lead to misclassifications can be as

follows: disease symptoms varies from one plant to another, features
optimization is needed, more training samples are needed in order to
cover more cases and to predict the disease more accurately.
7. Proposed System: (Maximum 8 Lines)

The detection and classification of disease is important task in plant disease

detection, here we proposed a novel method of the using the CNN algorithm
for the detection and provide remedies. Our naked eyes can’t detect the which
fertilizer used to prevent the crop from disease, so we use computer-based
programming data to detect the disease and provide remedies. Plant disease
diagnosis is extremely essential in earlier stage in order to prevent and control
them, using computer programming system it is easy to detect the disease for
larger area and it provides exact detection of disease and remedies because if
this process is check by our naked eyes it takes more time and cost to detect
the disease and may be not accurately.

8. Input and Expected Outcome of the Project:

Input: An Image of infected leaf.

Output: Identifying disease of leaf and providing remedies to it.

9. Application of the Project:

The project intends to identify disease and provide remedies to that particular
disease.
10. Hardware and Software Requirements:
