• Scope of topic:

 The scope of the Crop Disease & Pest Detection project involves the
development of a computer vision system based on Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs) to detect and diagnose diseases and pests in agricultural
crops.
 This project aims to cover a range of crops and their associated diseases and
pests.
 It may also encompass multiple stages of crop growth, from planting to
harvest.

 Objectives:
• Develop a robust CNN-based model for crop disease and pest detection. Create a
dataset of labeled images covering various crops, diseases, and pests.
• Implement a user-friendly interface for farmers or agricultural experts to interact
with the system.
• Provide real-time or near-real-time detection capabilities to aid in timely
intervention.
• Enhance accuracy and reduce false positives to increase the reliability of
detection.
• Explore the possibility of integrating the system with mobile applications or
drones for field-level monitoring.

Motivation:
The motivation behind this project is to address several key challenges in agriculture:
Crop Yield Loss:
Diseases and pests can significantly reduce crop yields, leading to economic
losses for farmers.
Food Security:
Ensuring healthy crop growth is crucial for global food security.
Sustainability:
Early detection can minimize the need for chemical pesticides and promote
sustainable farming practice.
Accessibility:
Providing a user-friendly tool for farmers to identify issues in their crops,
especially in remote areas.
