Sugarcane: A Brief Introduction
• belongs to the grass family Poaceae, an economically
important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat,
rice, and sorghum, and many forage crops.
• tropical, perennial grass rich in sugar sucrose.
• two to six metres (6-20 feet) tall about 5 cm (2 in) in
diameter.
Uses of Sugarcane

White Sugar Molasses

Sugarcane Juice

Jaggery Baggase
Medical Uses of Sugarcane
• Sugarcane juice is a good source of glucose, helps to re-
hydrate the human body and gives it a boost of energy.
• Good for diabetic patients as it contains natural sugar.
• Sugarcane juice is alkaline in nature (contains Ca, Mg, K,
Fe and Mn) so prevents cancer.
• helps in maintaining the health of the kidney as it boosts
protein levels in the body.
• Antioxidants in sugarcane juice help to fight infections and
boost the immune system of the body.
Production of Sugarcane

India is the second largest

producer of sugar.
Diseases of Sugarcane

a) Red Rot Disease

b) Mosaic Disease
c) Ring Spot Disease
d) Grassy Shoot Disease
Literature Review

• Extracting features from the plant and then detect

whether it is diseased or not using image processing.
• K-Means Clustering and Support Vector Machine ; to
recognize patters for crop disease.
• Naive Bayes classifier was used for distinguishing
between a diseased and non-diseased plant.
 Dataset Collection
• Collected images of diseased and non-diseased sugarcane
from Mawana Sugar Mill Pvt. Ltd.
Dataset

Training Set Test Set

Diseased Diseased

Non-diseased Non-diseased
Aim of the Study
• To detect whether a sugarcane plant is diseased or not.
• To apply various classifiers in three scenarios using
Orange.
– Scenario 1: Inception v3
– Scenario 2: VGG-19
– Scenario 3: VGG-16 (Proposed Approach)
• Comparing the results of the different classifiers and
selecting the one having best accuracy.
Proposed Approach

• Three scenarios are considered.

• To apply various classifiers in every scenario using
Orange toolkit.
• Pre-defined widgets are used by linking them together in
the workflow.
Classifiers Used
• SVM (Support Vector Machine)
• SGD (Stochastic Gradient Descent)
• KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor)
• Naive Bayes
• Logistic Regression
• Neural Network
• Adaboost

VGG-16
• pre-trained deep learning model.
• created by “Visual Geometry Group” from University of
Oxford.
• It is a 16 weight layered network consisting of multiple
3×3 kernel-sized filters, trained on the ImageNet dataset.
ROC Curve
Conclusion
• Three different feature extractor models, namely VGG-16,
VGG-19, and Inception V3 were used.
• Output from these was then fed to the 7 different
classifiers.
• Based on the CA and AUC values obtained
feature extractor model = VGG-16
classifier = SVM
• Accuracy of 90.2% is obtained.
Future Work

• Same methodology can be applied to various diseases in

other plants or skin disease in human or animals.
• More number of images can be considered for training
and testing the model in order to obtain higher accuracy.
