1. Introduction

1.1 Project Overview

Plant diseases are a common issue in agriculture that can have significant negative effects on crop quality and productivity. This project focuses on the automatic detection of plant diseases using machine learning and image processing techniques. Early disease detection is crucial to prevent large-scale outbreaks and minimize the impact on crops.

1.2 Scope

The scope of this project is to develop a machine learning and image processing-based application that can detect diseases in plant leaves uploaded by users. The application aims to assist farmers and researchers in quickly identifying leaf diseases, which can lead to timely actions and the production of bio products based on the identified diseases.

1.3 Objective

The main objective of this project is to analyze and identify leaf diseases using image processing and machine learning. The project aims to help farmers and researchers by providing accurate disease detection, which can improve the quality and productivity of agricultural products.

2. System Analysis

2.1 Tools and Technology

Software Requirement

• Python
• OpenCV library
• Scikit learn library (SVM)
• SKlearn
• Numpy
• Mathlib Library

Project Category

Machine Learning

3. Implementation

3.1 Implementation Strategy

The implementation strategy includes several steps:

1. RGB image acquisition
2. Convert RGB to HSI format
3. Mask green pixels
4. Segment components
5. Extract useful segments
6. Evaluate feature parameters
7. Configure SVM for disease detection

3.2 Steps to Execute

Step 1: Run GUIdriver.py for image segmentation and feature extraction. Step 2: Call classifier.py in main.py for classifying the leaf in the input image as "infected" or "healthy".

3.3 Dataset Creation

To create the dataset, run leafdetectionALLsametype.py for images of the same category (infected/healthy) and leafdetectionALLmix.py for a mixed dataset of both categories. The code runs on .jpg, .jpeg, and .png image formats in the specified directory.

3.4 Model Building

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used as the classification model. Tuning parameters include Kernel, Regularization, Gamma, and Margin. SVM provides accurate classification by creating an optimal hyperplane that separates different classes.

4. Constraints and Future Enhancement

4.1 Constraints

• Low-resolution photos or improper lighting may lead to incorrect results.
• Certain leaf conditions, like a broken midrib, might result in false positives.

4.2 Future Enhancement

• Implementation on Raspberry Pi with PiCamera for live input.
• Exploring alternate methods to improve disease identification accuracy.
