Leaf Lens: An Intelligent Vision for Plant Disease Diagnosis using Deep Learning

In India, where 70% of the population is involved in agriculture, accurate recognition of botanical disorders is crucial to minimize crop losses. Manual monitoring of these diseases requires significant labor, expertise in plant pathology, and time investment. This paper presents a methodology for identifying plant diseases by analyzing leaves' images. Image processing extracts valuable properties and information from the images, while deep learning, [3] a part of artificial intelligence, which simplifies data preprocessing. The algorithms used can process unstructured data, including text and images, automating feature extraction and diminishing the dependance on human professionals. This automated approach facilitates informed decision-making and precise predictions based on extensive training data. The paper introduces an innovative approach to plant disease detection through deep learning, specifically using the VGG19 model, which can scrutinize intricate patterns in plant images, providing a reliable method for identifying diseases.
