Leaf Disease Identification using Convolution Neural Network (CNN)

The tomato plant is the most broadly cultivated produce in India. As the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which comes under the field of image classification is performing the progressive work, thus using an approach of deep learning which mainly centers on achieving high accuracy of leaf disease of the tomato plant. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to acquire more reliable performance in the identification of diseases. Amidst various plant diseases that affect leaf comprise of Late blight, bacterial and viral diseases have been chosen to differentiate infected leaves from that of the healthy leaves includes Late blight, bacterial and viral diseases. As we know, none of the other method has been proposed earlier which helps in detecting plant leaf diseases for the first time. Hence the proposed model is designed in such a way that it effectively identifies specific diseases that affect leaves of tomato plants through the use of a dataset containing about 4000 leaf images. CNN achieves an overall accuracy of 96% without implementing any pre-processing and feature extraction methods. I7251079920/2020©BEIESP
