Botanic Shield: A Deep Learning Solution for Early Detection of Plant Disease

Abstract

Abstract: Plant diseases threaten both food security and the botanical system of the environment which canlead to low- grade food quality and life style. Early detection of plants diseases is the key feature in plantproduction which increase the better growth of plant, results in best yield and better food quality andquantity. The plant condition can be determined byusing the photos of the plant which will be in the formof jpg using digital image processing and the current emerging technology Deep Learning. DeepLearning has made breakthroughs in the field of digital image processing, far superior to traditional methods. The Digital image processing process happens through convolution neural network (CNN) and computer vision techniques, the image recognition technology based on deep learning does not need to extractspecificfeatures, and only through iterative learning can find appropriate features, which can acquire global andcontextual features of images, and has strong robustness and higher recognition accuracy. By inputting a test image into the classification network, the network analyses the input image and returns a label that classifiesthe image. The added feature is thatit also suggeststhe required pesticides after the detection
