As we belong to a developing country, the agricultural importance is a known criterion. Majority of the Indians depend on agriculture for their basic living. It also serves as the backbone of the Indian economy. Therefore this sector should be considered important and taken care of. Diseases affecting the plants and pest are the two major threats of agriculture production. Naked eye observation followed by the addition of chemical fertilizers is the traditional method adopted by most of the farmers to avoid plant diseases. But the main limitation to this method is that it works only in the case of small scale farming. In order to tackle this issue many automatic plant disease detection systems have been developed from the early 70s. This paper is intended to survey some of the existing works in plant disease recognition that include various procedures, materials and approaches. They use different machine learning algorithms, image processing techniques and deep learning methods for disease detection. This paper also compares and suggests novel methods to recognize and classify the various kinds of infections affecting agricultural plants.
Agriculture serves as the backbone of many countries. It provides food and other essential materials as per our requirement. Various kinds of diseases are affecting the agricultural crops which in turn reduce the quantity and quality of the agricultural sector. This can also lead to the decrease in food production thereby affecting the economic growth and development. Even though the symptoms and other impacts of the diseases are outwardly visible, manual identification of diseases and rectification is a tedious and time-consuming process. Therefore, detecting the diseases using an automatic computer-based model will be an effective solution. Image processing methods in conjunction with machine learning algorithms provide greater assistance in the field of plant disease detection. In the proposed work, plant leaf images of 10 crops are collected as the dataset. The images after acquisition are preprocessed using brightness preserving dynamic fuzzy histogram equalization (BPDFHE), an advanced version of histogram equalization and Gaussian filtering. The results are calculated and compared using the parameters such as peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM) and mean square error (MSE). This method performs more accurately than the existing preprocessing approaches.
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.
