Detection of Plant Leaf Diseases by Applying Image Processing Schemes

Abstract

Timely diagnosis of the disease is the key factor in agricultural productivity. If timely detection of the disease is not taken into account, it may lead to crop yield loss. Hence, agriculturists and agronomists face troubles to detect diseases successfully at an early stage or later stage. To support these personnels to diagnose disease syndromes in infected plants, deep learning plays an important role. The machine based recognition system based on image processing not only saves time but also is more robust and efficient in comparison to manual assessment system. It helps the growers to take timely steps involved in the judicious treatment of the concerned leaf diseases for crop protection. Maximizing the production or minimizing the production loss is the primary goal of automatic plant leaf disease recognition system. Following review presents some leaf disease detection techniques.
