Plant Disease Prediction Using Deep Learning

Abstract

This study aims to develop an android application to detect and identify plant diseases through deep convolutional neural network. Plant disease is a critical issue in agricultural countries like Bangladesh. Every year production of crops sustains heavy loss due to diseases. It is quite difficult to detect plant diseases with human eyes. So it is essential to build an automated system to detect the diseases. The proposed disease detection model takes an image of a plant leaf as input, processes it and uses deep convolutional neural network to detect and identify the disease. The developed mobile application is user-friendly and can be used by farmers without much technical knowledge.
