A comprehensive review on detection of plant disease using machine learning and deep learning approaches

Abstract

Agriculture plays a significant part in India due to their population growth and increased food demands. Hence, there is a need to enhance the yield of crop. One of these important effects on low crop yields is diseases caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. This can be prevented and handled by means of applying plant disease detection approaches. Machine learning techniques will be employed in the process of disease identification on plants as it mostly applies information themselves and offers fabulous techniques for detection of plant diseases. Methods based on Machine learning can be employed for the identification of diseases because it mainly applies on data superiority outcomes for specified task. In this approach, a comprehensive review has been made on the various techniques employed in plant disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI) based machine learning and deep learning techniques. Likewise, deep learning has also gained a great deal of significance in offering better performance outcome for detecting plant disease in the computer vision field. The deep learning advancements were employed to a range of domains that leads to great attainment in the machine learning and computer vision areas. The comparative study is made in terms of machine and deep learning techniques and their performance and usage in various research papers is related to show the effectiveness of deep learning model over machine learning model. In order to prevent major crop losses, the deep learning technique can be used to detect the leaf diseases from captured images.
