Leaf diseases affect both the quantity and quality of crops in agricultural production. Early detection is preventing the plant from diseases. Therefore, in this paper, optimal probabilistic neural network (OPNN) based plant disease classification is proposed. At first, RGB transformation is performed to extract the green band of the eggplant leaf. Then, for the extracted green band; pre-processing is carried using median filter. After pre-processing, the features such as shape, color and vein are extracted. Then the extracted features are fed to the PNN classifier to classify an image as normal or abnormal. To enhance the PNN classifier, the weight values are optimally selected using Binary Crow Search Algorithm (BCSA). Finally, the affected portions are segmented using Adaptively Regularized multi Kernel-Based Fuzzy𝐶-Means (ARMKFCM). This research work is compared with other existing techniques through several performance metrics to show the superiority of our proposed methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
