LEAF DISEASE DETECTION USING CNN
Department of Computer Science & Engineering
ABSTRACT
Our groundbreaking project addresses the
significant threat of Leaf diseases in India,
where 35% of field crops are lost annually. By
leveraging cutting-edge AI algorithms, our
platform provides farmers with instant and
accurate disease diagnosis through a mobile
app, achieving over 95% accuracy. This
Cloud-based system not only facilitates real-
time collaboration between farmers and
experts but also offers preventive measures
based on disease density maps and spread
forecasting. The AI model continuously learns
and improves from user-uploaded images and
expert suggestions. Through a web interface,
experts can perform disease analytics with
geographical visualizations. With an emphasis
on sustainability, our scalable solution aims to
reduce crop losses, minimize the
indiscriminate use of toxic pesticides, and
contribute to ecologically sound crop
production practices.

INTRODUCTION
In agriculture-dependent nations like India, enhancing crop productivity and quality is
critical for food security. Diseases pose a significant threat, leading to yield losses and
compromised food quality. Traditional human-assisted disease diagnosis faces
challenges due to limited farmer education and vast agricultural areas. Automation is
crucial, demanding low-cost, accessible machine-assisted diagnosis. Despite
technology strides, the automation of plant disease diagnosis lags due to limited
investment and scalability issues. Recent advancements in mobile tech, cloud
computing, and AI present an opportunity for a scalable, low-cost solution. Mobile
phones with internet connectivity in India allow farmers to upload images for cloud-
based AI analysis. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) offer robust image
classification capabilities. Our proposal integrates mobile, cloud, and AI for a
comprehensive crop diagnosis system. It simulates plant pathologists' expertise,
fostering collaboration to enhance the disease database continually. Seeking expert
advice improves AI accuracy for effective disease outbreak tracking. Affordable AI
platforms like TensorFlow enhance accessibility. The proposal addresses crucial gaps,
offering an innovative solution for sustainable agriculture.
METHODOLOGIES
Step 1: Capture images of crop plants affected by diseases in the field
Step 2: Preprocess the images to enhance quality:
Apply image enhancement techniques for improved visual clarity.Utilize a
Gaussian filter for image smoothing.
Step 3: Detect crop diseases through feature extraction and classification
Step 4: Quantify disease severity and affected area
Step 5: Provide actionable insights and recommendations
