Abstract

Plants can be affected by different diseases and many of them are expressed through leaves. Plant diseases are major issues in the field of agriculture and automatic detection of diseases can reduce production costs. In the present study, an automated disease detection model from leaf images has been proposed which is based on Convolutional Neural Network. Five diseases, which use leaves as one of their expression mediums, have been considered in this study. These are Early Blight, Late Blight, Esca, Isariopsis and Black Rot. The first two are mostly found in Potatoes and the rest three are in Grapes. Images of healthy and symptom expressive leaves have been taken for each species and the proposed model has been trained and tested using them. Overall efficiency of our proposed model is found to be 87.47% for Potatoes and 91.96% for Grapes. The results have been analyzed from different aspects in various scales. The efficiency of our model has also been measured against some of the existing models.
