Image Based Plant Disease Classification with Cause and Severity Analysis and Remedial Action

Unlike diseases of the human body, plant diseases don't camouflage themselves within the body of the crop. The leaves reflect the infection with a change in color, shape, texture or a combination of the three. Hence, predictive modelling of the leaf images dataset using machine learning can help detect the disease. Mostly the Image processing algorithms is used for predicting the diseases. The Random forest algorithm is used for color segmentation and Convolutional neural networks mainly focuses on disease classification. Vision based plant infection showed efficient results and promising performance. The features are extracted such that they are feasible for a severity analysis. The percentage of severity is extracted from the percentage which is 94.6% of the classification accuracy after which suitable remedial actions are suggested. This offers a comprehensive strategy for addressing the threat of crop diseases that lower agricultural output and waste. (Choice of crop depends on accessibility of dataset).
