Tomato Leaf Disease Detection System

Abstract

Tomato is a widely cultivated crop with significant economic importance in the agro based industry. However, tomato plants are susceptible to various diseases that can severely impact yield and quality. Early and accurate detection of these diseases is crucial for effective disease management and ensuring optimal production. In this study, we propose a novel approach that a convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the automated detection of tomato leaf diseases. First, Convolutions is employed to reduce the dimensionality of the input data, extracting the most relevant features for disease detection. The CNN leverages its ability to learn complex patterns and features from the data, enabling accurate classification of various tomato leaf diseases. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted experiments using a diverse dataset of tomato leaf images with different disease manifestations.
