Computer Vision Based Detection And Classification of Tomato Leaf Diseases

Abstract

Indian Economy mainly determined by the agriculture. Tomato is one of the highest used food crops in India. Due to which detection of disease on tomato plant becomes essential. The manual detection of plant diseases are very complex and high cost. Hence, image processing based detection of plant diseases gives the solution. Disease detection involves the steps like image capturing , various processing steps and classification. Most of the diseases of tomato plant detected at initial stages as they affect leaves first. By detecting the diseases at initial stage on leaves will surely avoid impending loss. The classifier, the classification is performed to classify the healthy and disease affected tomato leaves. Finally, the performance of K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and multi class Support Vector machine (SVM) are compared. The proposed system assured an excellent performance to farmers and researchers in admissible way.
